Today marks the traditional Qingming Festival (清明节). On this important Chinese holiday, people clean the graves of their ancestors and pay their respects. Paper money is also burned to express respect. The dead are believed to use it to ensure a good afterlife. Several manufacturers of renminbi imitations with bizarre names exist in China. These include the „Paradise Bank of China,“ the „Universal Bank of Heaven and Earth,“ and the „Underworld Bank of China.“
