Throwing paper money after delivery is one of the traditional customs in China. It is to sacrifice ancestors and gods and pray for the gods to bless the health and safety of mother and child. Usually, after a child is born, the family will prepare some paper money and paper ingots, and then in front of the outdoor or indoor shrine, the family will light incense sticks and throw paper money and paper ingots to express their respect and gratitude to the gods.

The custom of throwing paper money after childbirth is usually held on the seventh, tenth, fortieth, hundredth or first half of a child's life. The whole ceremony needs rigorous procedures and ceremonies, and the host needs to chant Buddhist scriptures, burn incense and offer flowers, brown sugar, eggs and other items. In this ceremony, the family prayed to the gods to protect the safety and health of the mother and son, which is also a symbol of family happiness and auspiciousness.

Although the life in modern society is very different from that in ancient times, the custom of throwing paper money after delivery is timeless and has been accepted and passed down by more and more people. Nowadays, due to the collision of social development and multiculturalism, some families add some modern elements in the process of distributing paper money after childbirth, such as playing music and giving gifts. No matter how it changes, the original intention of throwing paper money after childbirth is to pray for health and happiness.
