From the Han dynasty onwards, those conducting burials had buried money; later generations gradually used paper simulated money for ghostly matters. When it came to Wang Yu, he used it for exorcisms and apotropaic rituals.' The Mingbao ji states: 'The money used by ghosts is paper money. If it is patterned silk, it is also made of paper; their silver is tin-coated, and their gold is painted yellow.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 33.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.33.45) - [Next: 33.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.33.47) - [Up: 33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.33) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.33.46) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.33.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.33.46) · Pramāṇa
