During the Zhongyuan Festival, most people are in a sad mood, so no one will say "Happy Zhongyuan Festival" during the Zhongyuan Festival. Of course, it is not quite correct to talk about health and well-being during the Ghost Festival. Because the Zhongyuan Festival is a traditional cultural festival to commemorate ancestors, and its cultural core is respecting ancestors and being filial. Why do we celebrate the Ghost Festival?The reason why we need to celebrate the Zhongyuan Festival is that it is a traditional cultural festival to commemorate our ancestors, and its cultural core is respecting ancestors and being filial.From the legends about the Mid-Autumn Festival, we can deeply realize that the Mid-Autumn Festival has a dual meaning. One is to promote the filial piety of remembering ancestors, and the other is to promote the righteous act of putting oneself in the shoes of others and doing good deeds. This is all from the perspective of compassion and is very humane. Therefore, while celebrating the Zhongyuan Festival, we should get beyond the perspective of ghosts and encourage mutual love. In terms of its cultural connotation, July 14th/15th is also one of China's traditional festivals for ancestor worship, and behind its culture is a kind of belief. The Mid-Autumn Festival is an intangible cultural heritage. It is a culture and an ancient yet modern tradition of remembering ancestors. This tradition embodies the ancient people's idea of "respecting the dead and remembering the ancestors", and its cultural core is respecting ancestors and being filial. |
