to answer point number 4: most Chinese believe in life after death, and Taosim is no exception. It is believed that you bring your wants and needs into the after life, that is why they also practice burning offerings to the dead. They used to burn offerings such as belongings and food during funerals. But soon, they moved on to burning paper creations instead, because let's face it, to burn a Tesla for the dead is a little bit of an overkill.
Well one thing that stood out for me was that they used to also burn servants alive. It was then seen as an act of cruelty and was quickly replaced by burning paper puppets instead.
