• The Legend of the Paper Money Aug 10, 2025

  

  In a small village beside the Red River, there lived a poor scholar named Minh who spent his days teaching children to read and write. Though he possessed great wisdom and learning, he earned barely enough to feed himself, living in a tiny thatched house with only the most basic necessities.

  Minh’s greatest sorrow was that he had no money to properly honor his deceased parents. According to tradition, children should provide offerings at their parents’ graves – food, incense, and especially money to ensure their comfort in the afterlife. But Minh’s poverty meant he could offer only wild flowers and sincere prayers.
