Introduction to the twenty-one taboos of the Ghost Festival. What are the taboos of the Ghost Festival?

1. It is best not to go out on the night of Ghost Festival, talk less, don’t stay up late, and go to bed early.
2. If someone taps you on the shoulder or calls your name, don’t turn around
3. Don’t wear red underwear, because there are many rituals performed in this month. Underwear is the second layer of skin of the human body. Red is connected to the spiritual world, so it can prevent you from being haunted by ghosts and evil spirits. Avoid wearing red at night.
4. Avoid stepping on or burning ghost paper randomly. Ghost paper is burned for good brothers, gold paper is burned for gods. The result of burning ghost paper will only attract more good brothers.
5. Don't go out before 11 o'clock at night. On this day, ghosts roam the night and the yin energy is the heaviest, so you should not stay outside on this day. It is a big taboo not to return home at night.
6. It is best to avoid swimming in rivers and seas; avoid walking alone in secluded places, go with others; and try not to go out at night.
7. Don’t walk along the wall. Legend has it that wall-crawling ghosts really exist, and because the cold walls are shady, they like to walk along them.
8. If you celebrate your birthday in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it is best to avoid the day when the ghost gate opens. Also, try not to celebrate your birthday at night. You don’t want some unfamiliar “people” to appear.
9. Avoid going to places with a lot of water, such as swimming pools, rivers, etc. Because there are three lights on a person's body, on the top of the head, on the left shoulder, and on the right shoulder, if the lights go out when you fall into the water, it is unlucky and will affect your health.
10. Avoid catching dragonflies and katydids, as people believe that these two insects are the incarnation of ghosts. If you catch them indiscriminately, be careful not to attract ghosts. 11. You are not allowed to whistle. Whistle at night, beware of ghosts liking you
12. Sticking chopsticks in the middle of the rice is a form of worship, just like sticking incense in an incense burner. This will only attract ghosts to share food with you.
13. Do not hang wind chimes at the head of the bed, because wind chimes can easily attract ghosts, and sleeping is the time when you are most likely to be "invaded".
14. On the day of Zhongyuan Festival, ghosts almost come out in droves and are everywhere, especially the scene of the ceremony, which is definitely filled with ghosts. Therefore, during the Zhongyuan Festival, it is best to be careful in what you say and do. In addition to avoiding saying the word "ghost", you should also avoid talking nonsense, or be careful that ghosts are around you!
15. Don't take the last bus. You should go home early in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, because this month, it is not just people who have to catch the last bus at night. 16. Avoid hanging clothes out to dry at night, because wet clothes can easily cause stray radio waves to stick to them, making it difficult to get rid of them. In the ghost month when ghosts are everywhere, hanging clothes out to dry at night is like setting a trap to catch ghosts. If it doesn't bother you, who else will it bother?
17. Avoid going to places with strong negative energy, such as mountains, alleys, etc.
18. Do not burn ghost paper unless in a specific occasion. Ghost paper is burned for ghosts, while gold paper is burned for gods. Burning ghost paper will only attract more ghosts.
19. People believe that women are unclean during their menstrual period, so they should not watch events such as construction or sacrifices, so as not to offend the gods, cause misfortune, or prevent the construction from proceeding smoothly.
20. When driving at night, avoid driving too fast and looking around, and avoid long journeys. Because some things are unavoidable, hang peach charms on the car and slow down.
21. Avoid going to the hospital and avoiding surgery. The older generation would say that in the Ghost Month, which is July, try to avoid visiting the sick, seeing a doctor, or having surgery at night. Because of illness, my fortune is weak and I’m afraid of being affected.
