"Joss" is the chinese word meaning "fate." "Joss" is also a Chinese god worshipped in the form of an idol. "Joss Sticks" are sticks of incense burned before the joss idol. "Joss paper" is gold or silver paper burned at rituals before the joss idol. "Joss house" is the house in which they worship the joss god. I hope this helps.
