Regrettably, the Hsing T'ien Temple is rather a special case. The vast majority of temples and worshippers combine prayers and spirit money together just to be on the safe side. And spirit money is offered for a whole range of secondary reasons besides sustaining deceased parents in the afterlife.
遺憾的是，行天宮只是一個特例，大多數的廟宇和信徒們，都還是維持「發善心」和「送紅包」雙管齊下的心態，而且「紅包」對象愈送愈廣，除了奉養逝去親人的本意以外，還多了許多附加意義。
