The seventh month of the lunar calendar is the "ghost month" in our folklore.
But there is a saying among the people: The ghost gate opens on the first day of July, and ghosts run wild on the 14th of July. The folks think it is Ghost Moon.
At night, the wild atmosphere is heavy, especially before and after Zhongyuan Festival, especially on the night of July 14.

Buddhism and Taoism have different interpretations of the meaning of this festival. Taoism emphasizes filial piety; Buddhism focuses on "pudu" for those unowned and lone souls released from the underworld.
In Hong Kong, Yulan Festival is a grand and grand festival. It is held from the first day of the seventh lunar month to the end of July. Activities include sacrifices, burning paper money, sending peace rice, bidding for blessings, and performances of magical operas. The story of the
movie "Yulan Magical Art" happened in a magical troupe that was about to open. The movie
takes the Yulan Festival as the background and tells the story of the revenge of the unjust ghosts returning to the world in the seventh lunar month. Looking at the dense "friends" under the stage is really a cool breeze in the summer~ chilly
for our ordinary people In other words, the 15th of July is called the "Ghost Festival". On this day of each year, people will sacrifice their ancestors in various forms.
From childhood to adulthood, it has become a habit of Xiaobian to burn paper money to the deceased on July 15 every year.
A stack of yellow paper and a bamboo stick. Draw a circle on the ground. When I was a child, I didn’t understand what it meant. My father said, I must draw a circle, leave a mouth, and write my grandfather’s name. The first person will receive valuables. If you don't draw a circle, you will be easily taken away by ghosts...
is a bit similar. If you pay someone with Alipay, you must also confirm the account and name of the other person. I don’t know if there is a "X pay treasure" underneath... Burning yellow paper too pollutes the environment!

Taboo 10: Chopsticks inserted in the middle of the rice
This is the mode of worship, like incense sticks on the incense burner, this will only invite friends from the spirit world to share food with you... It is the Mid-Yuan Festival. In daily life, it is disrespectful to serve guests or family members with chopsticks.
When I was a child, I ate half of the meal, put the chopsticks on the rice, and was beaten by the chopsticks by grandma several times. The pain is still deep in my memory. The elders, especially the elderly, are very particular about these.
In fact, the above taboos are just passed down from word of mouth. No one knows whether it is true or not. After all, I have never seen "Friends".
But for those who have passed away, reverence and respect is the minimum. There is not an old saying, don’t do bad things in your life, don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night!
