When is the Ghost Festival in 2021?

The 2021 Zhongyuan Festival is on the lunar calendar: July 15, 2021 ; the Gregorian calendar: August 22, 2021, Sunday . July 15 is also known as the Mid-July Festival, the Ancestor Worship Festival, and the Ghost Festival in folk culture. It is called the Zhongyuan Festival in Taoism and the Yulan Festival in Buddhism.
The main customs of the Ghost Festival include ancestor worship, releasing river lanterns, worshiping the dead, burning paper ingots, and worshiping the land. Its origin can be traced back to the ancestor worship and related seasonal sacrifices in ancient times. July is an auspicious month and a month for filial piety. The Mid-July festival is a folk festival to celebrate the harvest and thank the earth in early autumn. When some crops mature, people will worship their ancestors with new rice and other offerings to report the autumn harvest to their ancestors. This festival is a traditional cultural festival to commemorate ancestors, and its cultural core is respecting ancestors and being filial.
In the Book of Changes, "seven" is a changing number and the number of resurrection. "The Book of Changes" says: "To repeat its way, it will return in seven days; this is the way of Heaven." Seven is the number of yang, the number of heaven. After the yang energy between heaven and earth is extinguished, it can be revived after seven days. This is the way of the operation of heaven and earth, the principle of the cycle of the rise and fall of yin and yang. The choice of folks to worship their ancestors on July 14 (the 27th) is related to the number of resurrection, "seven". The Taoist Zhongyuan Festival and the Buddhist Yulan Festival are both on July 15th.
