What should I pay attention to when burning paper in October? 1. When buying burnt paper, buy yellow paper, spread it out and press it with a piece of real money of 100 yuan. You have to feel that this 100 yuan is a stamp, from right to left, from top to bottom, line by line until the whole paper is covered.

2. Fold the pasted paper, divide it into seven or eight pieces with one knife, and fold it diagonally twice, otherwise a stack of paper will be very troublesome to burn. It will be convenient to fold it and burn it.

3. Before preparing to burn paper, it is best to prepare a lighter (it is best to be windproof, and it is cloudy and windy on July 15) and a stick. This is convenient for you to pull up the pressed paper when you burn it, so that the air can circulate and it is easy to burn. It's a good choice to use the old mop at home, but be careful not to take it back after use, just throw it away.

Draw a circle on the ground to be burned before burning paper. Be careful not to circle yourself in it. Leave a gap in the northwest corner for relatives below to come in and get money.

5, we must insist on watching the paper burn out before leaving, which can not only prevent fire, but also prevent the wind from blowing the paper out and being picked up by other passers-by, making the old people unhappy.
