Avoid hanging wind chimes at the head of the bed. On the Ghost Festival on July 15th, it is best not to hang wind chimes at home, because wind chimes are likely to attract "good brothers", and people are most likely to be "invaded" when they are sleeping.2. Avoid night travel. People with weak horoscopes should never travel at night on the Ghost Festival on July 15th, otherwise they will only ask for trouble. 3. Avoid burning ghost paper in non-specific occasions. Ghost paper is burned for good brothers, gold paper is burned for gods. If you burn ghost paper randomly, the result will only attract more good brothers. 4. Avoid stealing sacrificial offerings. These sacrificial offerings are foods that belong to your “good brothers”. Using them without their consent will only bring about difficult-to-solve misfortunes for yourself. 5. Avoid whistling. If you whistle on the night of Ghost Festival, be careful that your good brothers like you. 6. Avoid calling names. On July 15th, do not call names at night. Try to call them by code names to avoid your good brothers remembering your name. 7. Avoid swimming. It is best not to swim on the Ghost Festival on July 15th. At this time, your good brothers will play the game of ghost lifting feet with you. If you are not careful, your life will be lifted away. 8. Avoid looking around. Good brothers like to hide and scare people. If you look around and get scared, that is the best time for them to invade you. 9. Avoid placing banyan trees at the doorstep because banyan trees are shade-gathering plants and are also the favorite of good brothers, unless you want good brothers to come to your house to visit. 10. Avoid staying up late. Late at night is when human energy is at its weakest, and late at night is also when ghost energy is at its strongest. Staying up late can easily lead to the invasion of negative energy. 11. Avoid leaning against the wall. Good brothers usually like to lean against the cold wall to rest, which can easily attract ghosts to possess them. 12. Avoid picking up money on the street. The money is used to bribe the evildoers. If you invade their things, you will easily be punished by them. 13. Avoid looking back easily. When you are walking in the wilderness or sparsely populated areas, if you feel like someone is calling you, don’t look back easily, because that person may be a good brother. 14. Avoid hanging around with others. There are three fires on a person's body, one on the head and one on each shoulder. If you put out one of them, it is easy for him to be possessed by his brothers. 15. Avoid putting the toes of your slippers facing the bed. Good brothers will look at the direction of the toes of your shoes to determine where strangers are. If the toes of your slippers are facing the head of the bed, then your good brothers will go into bed and sleep with you. 16. Avoid sticking chopsticks in the middle of rice. This is a form of worship, just like sticking incense in an incense burner. This will only attract good brothers to share food with you. 17. It is true that you should be careful not to be alone as it is easy to attract the covetousness of your good brothers. 18. Avoid taking photos at night on the Ghost Festival on July 15th. It is unlucky to take photos at night, as it is easy to take friends from the spirit world into the photo and bring them home. 19. Avoid playing with Ouija boards. It is easy for bad things to happen when playing with Ouija boards at any time, let alone during the Ghost Festival on July 15th. 20. Avoid placing slippers neatly beside the bed. When traveling, if you place slippers neatly beside the bed, it will attract the curiosity of friends in the spirit world and cause them to make a fuss in bed. 21. Avoid hanging clothes out to dry at night as wet clothes can easily allow stray radio waves to stick to them, making them difficult to remove. 22. Avoid sleeping with disheveled hair. During the Ghost Month, there are wandering ghosts everywhere. If you have disheveled hair, be careful that they may mistake you for one of their own and try to wake you up to chat. |
