Avoid staying near water When you are outside on the night of the Ghost Festival, it is best not to go near places with lots of water, such as rivers or ponds, and do not store water at home. Because water is yin, it tends to gather bad things and may harm passers-by. 19. Avoid picking up random things If you are outside during the Ghost Festival and see something on the ground, whether it is food or money, you must not pick it up. Because these may be offerings to them, picking them up may easily anger them and lead to revenge. 20. Avoid placing your slippers facing the bed Before going to bed on the night of the Ghost Festival, it is best to place your slippers in a messy manner beside the bed, and the toes of the shoes should not be facing the bed, so that the ghosts passing by will not notice that you are sleeping, nor will they think that you are inviting them. 21. Avoid playing psychic games During the Ghost Festival, you cannot play spirit summoning games such as the Ouija board or the Die board, or go to supernatural places. You might really attract some bad things, and if you cannot successfully get rid of them, you will be the only one who will be unlucky. 22. Avoid going to evil places During the Ghost Festival, do not go to places with strong negative energy or evil spirits, such as cemeteries, hospitals, woods, funeral homes, slaughterhouses or other remote and dark places, especially at night, and do not go there alone. 23. Avoid sticking chopsticks in rice The Zhongyuan Festival is a festival of sacrifice. It is very unlucky to stick chopsticks into rice, because it is like burning incense on a grave, which is equivalent to cursing yourself. Ghosts may also think that the rice is an offering to them, and eating it will make them angry. 24. Avoid calling names or patting shoulders If you are outside on the night of the Ghost Festival and hear someone calling you from behind, do not look back. Instead, turn your whole body backwards. If you feel something is wrong, run forward immediately. In addition, everyone has three balls of fire on their shoulders, one on each shoulder and one on the head. If the fire is extinguished, it is easy to be harmed by them. Turning back and patting shoulders may extinguish the fire, so you cannot call other people's names or pat other people's shoulders at will. Do you want to know your own Bazi?
