For a thousand years across the length and breadth of China people have burned paper replicas of valuable things for the spirits of deceased family members, ancestors, and myriads of demons and divinities. This explores the cultural logic of this common practice while addressing larger anthropological questions concerning the nature of value. The heart of the work integrates Chinese and Western thought and analytics to develop a theoretical framework that the author calls a "materialist aesthetics”.
