Qingming Festival, reporters have noticed that from January to March this year, handmade semi-finished gold and silver ingots unexpectedly became popular in the sacrificial market. Many young people choose semi-finished paper products, folding them in their spare time to express their longing for ancestors. Online, many merchants have sold over 200k pieces in two months, with several common specifications sold out multiple times. Offline "funeral one-stop" stores owner Mr. Huang said that last month he was informed that his inventory had been fully booked and could not be replenished in the short term. Some sacrificial supplies have been indirectly affected by rising oil prices. Incense boxes increased by 30 yuan each, and the logistics cost for traditional yellow paper money rose by 300 to 400 yuan per ton. Cover News reporters: Chai Fengju, Yang Ruiwen

On Qingming Festival, a reporter noted that from January to March this year, handcrafted semi-finished gold and silver ingot-shaped paper offerings unexpectedly became a hit in the sacrificial market. Many young people chose semi-finished sheets, folding them during their spare time to express their longing for their ancestors. Online, many sellers saw sales exceed 200k units within two months, and several popular specifications sold out multiple times. Offline, “one-stop funeral services” shop owner Huang told a reporter that last month he was informed that his inventory had already been fully booked and that he would be unable to restock in the short term. Some sacrificial supplies were indirectly affected by rising oil prices. Incense candles increased by 30 yuan per case, while the logistics cost for traditional yellow paper money rose by 300 to 400 yuan per ton. Cover News reporter Chai Fengju and Yang Ruixiang
