You still have to go and sweep the graves again on the Ghost Festival. It is not good to do it earlier or later. The time for visiting graves on the Ghost Festival is also particular. It is best to do it after 21:00 in the evening, but not later than midnight, because after midnight it is no longer the 15th of July. If you go to visit the graves during the day, you must go before 12:00 noon. The places for ancestor worship during the Ghost Festival can be chosen from: 1. Cemetery; 2. Temple; 3. Taoist temple; 4. Ancestral hall (family temple); 5. Remote worship. What clothes can’t you wear during the Ghost Festival?The Zhongyuan Festival is also known as the Ghost Festival among the people, so there are many rules and taboos, and you also need to be careful about what you wear.1. The color of clothes When wearing clothes during the Ghost Festival, it is not appropriate to wear clothes with large areas of white, black or red. ①White: As we all know, the characteristic of ghosts is a white robe, so wearing white clothes during the Ghost Festival can easily make ghosts mistake you for a companion. Moreover, wearing white clothes looks very much like mourning clothes, which is unlucky during such a festival. ② Black: Black clothes easily absorb Yin energy, and the Ghost Festival is the time when Yin energy is at its peak. Therefore, wearing large areas of black clothing can easily increase the atmosphere of fear and anxiety, and may also cause bad luck or even illness. ③Red: If wearing white will attract ordinary ghosts, then red may attract evil spirits, or even be hunted down by ghost messengers, because only evil spirits wear red robes. Therefore, red must not be worn during the Ghost Festival. 2. Clothing styles When it comes to clothes for the Ghost Festival, people generally don’t pay much attention to the style, but if you are wearing clothes in the colors mentioned above, you should avoid a few styles. ① Robes: Ghosts usually wear long robes, so during the Ghost Festival, it is best not to wear dresses or long shirts, especially at night. If you wear a dress, you must bring a coat and put it on when you go out. ②Hanfu: Nowadays many people like to wear Hanfu when going out, but it is best not to wear it during the Ghost Festival, because many of the ghosts returning to the earth are from the past. They feel familiar with the ancient costumes and will cling to you, and even think that you are the same kind as them. ③ Pattern: In addition to the style, you should also avoid wearing clothes with unlucky patterns during the Ghost Festival, such as clothes with patterns of skulls, ghost faces, etc. These clothes are cool and harmless to wear on normal days, but wearing them on this special festival may bring bad luck to yourself.
