Do you know the origin of the Ghost Festival?Speaking of the Zhongyuan Festival, I believe everyone is familiar with it. The Zhongyuan Festival is also known as the "Menlanpen Festival" and the "Ghost Festival". Because the Ghost Festival falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month every year, it is also called the Mid-July Festival.It is rumored that the mother of Maudgalyayana, one of the ten great disciples of Sakyamuni, suffered in hell after her death because she did not do good deeds during her lifetime. In order to save his mother, Mulian went to the Tathagata and hung himself upside down to beg the Buddha for salvation. Shakyamuni asked him to prepare a hundred kinds of food on the fifteenth day of the seventh month and offer them to monks from all directions, so that his mother could be liberated. Buddhism gave rise to the Ullambana Festival based on this. The Zhongyuan Festival is very similar to Qingming Festival. It is a festival for ancestor worship and has become a folk festival since the Tang and Song dynasties. On the day of the Zhongyuan Festival, people tie hemp, millet and sorghum together and hang them on both sides of the gate and the central hall for ancestors of heaven and earth. They also set out sacrificial offerings of fruit, hemp and millet and go to the tombs to pay tribute to their ancestors, similar to visiting tombs on Qingming Festival. |
