"Ghost money" = tiền ma -> nghĩa là tiền âm phủ, vàng mã.
Ví dụ
They were burning ghost money, also known as hell money, for their ancestors (tổ tiên) to use in the afterlife (cõi âm), a ceremony performed around big festivals including Chinese New Year which is on Sunday.
The design of ghost money also keeps changing so as to keep up with the times and resemble the real money used in a particular era. The oldest ghost money that has been unearthed dates back to the Northern dynasties (386-581 AD).
In rural China, these forms of ghost money are still in use today as people continue to wish their deceased (đã qua đời) loved ones a good life that is free from hunger and cold in an underworld with sky-high inflation.
The Chens’ way of making ghost money is fading (phai mờ) quickly due to a lack of people willing (sẵn lòng) to do the repetitive work and competition from big commercial printers producing cheaper, colorful alternatives.
