《烧钱》

《烧钱》 is the book introduced in 开天窗｜指路兼推荐几本书 as part of [[OverseasChinaStudiesSeries|海外中国研究丛书]]. The episode glosses it as a study of Chinese pursuit of material goods inside spiritual life, using the practice of burning paper money as the entry point.

Key Claims

• The source frames the book through a tension between spiritual practice and material desire rather than treating paper money as only a quaint custom.
• The book connects religious imagination, money, social life, and material culture, making it relevant to Paper Money Ritual Materiality.
• Because the source is a brief reading-list mention, the page should avoid adding claims about the book’s author, fieldwork, or argument structure until a fuller source is ingested.
