About
In modern society, the pace of life has accelerated and pressures from work and reality have increased, causing many people to be unable to personally carry out incense burning, paper offerings, deity worship, or memorial activities for loved ones during traditional occasions such as the Qingming Festival and the Zhongyuan Festival.
Burn Paper Money · Burn Incense · Worship Buddha · Worship Deities · Memorial Loved Ones is a command-line-based digital ritual and memorial software designed to provide users with a well-structured, content-rich, and readily accessible symbolic ritual experience when real-world conditions are limited, time is insufficient, or offline participation is inconvenient.
