It is said to be the day with the heaviest yin energy in July, so there are many taboos and etiquette, especially at night.People of the older generation often say that you should not go out on the night of the Ghost Festival (after 19:00) because the yin energy at night is much stronger than during the day, so many bad demons and ghosts will appear at night, and there is even a legend of "a hundred ghosts parading at night". Therefore, during the Ghost Festival, it is not suitable to go out at night, especially if you are alone. In addition, you should not stay in places with heavy negative energy for a long time, such as cemeteries, hospitals, woods, riversides, funeral homes, slaughterhouses and some remote places. Even if you are not outside, there are many things you need to pay attention to at home, such as drying your body and hair in time after taking a shower; do not store water in places such as bathtubs or sinks, do not look in the mirror, do not take pictures, do not cut your nails, do not hang wet clothes, etc. What can’t you do on the night of the Ghost Festival?1. You can’t celebrate your birthdayIt is best not to celebrate birthdays on the night of the Ghost Festival, as it is easy to attract bad things and is unlucky for the birthday person. Also, do not accept gifts. 2. No photography allowed On the night of the Ghost Festival, it is best not to take photos, whether it is a selfie or a group photo, because it is easy to capture bad things. 3. Cannot store water On the night of the Ghost Festival, whether at home or in a hotel, you are not allowed to store water in places such as bathtubs and sinks, because water is yin and easily gathers evil spirits. 4. Don’t stay up late Don't stay up late on the night of the Ghost Festival.

Do not cut your nails You cannot cut your nails on the night of the Ghost Festival, because it will attract the "head-cutting ghosts". Every time you cut your nails, they will get closer to you until they "cut off" your head. 6. Do not hang wind chimes On the night of the Ghost Festival, put away items in the house that make tinkling sounds, such as wind chimes, because these sounds have the effect of summoning spirits and will attract bad things. 7. You can’t hang clothes to dry You cannot dry wet clothes on the night of the Ghost Festival, because wet clothes are like traps for ghosts. Once they get on, it is difficult to escape and they may easily bear a grudge and seek revenge. 8. You cannot hang long gowns On the night of the Ghost Festival, do not hang clothes such as long shirts and long skirts outside, because these clothes are similar to what ghosts wear and they may easily mistake them for their companions and gather around them. 9. Do not put 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.
