The Ghost Festival is what we commonly call the Zhongyuan Festival. According to historical legend, the gates of hell will open wide on this day and many ghosts will come out, so it is very easy for people to encounter ghosts. During this day, people will stay at home if possible and will go to bed early at night. So, what should you do if you see a ghost on Ghost Festival night? What are the taboos to avoid during Ghost Festival? The seventh month of the lunar calendar is known as the Qiao Month, the Melon Month, the Orchid Autumn, the New Autumn, the First Autumn, the Xiang Month, the Meng Autumn and the Chu Autumn. Mr. Shui Mo’s website has compiled a special topic about the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2021. You can click to view it.What should you do if you see a ghost on Ghost Festival night?1. Never be afraidAs the saying goes, "People are three parts afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are seven parts afraid of people." In fact, ghosts are more afraid of people. What they fear is the yang energy in people. When you encounter a confrontation with a ghost, the first thing you should do is not to be afraid. The best thing to do is to hold your head high and stare at the other party with a righteous look. At this time, ghosts can't do anything to you. 2. Pretend to be a bad guy Pretending to be a bad guy does not mean that you can curse the devil with foul language, but that you can just go up and beat him up without saying a word. It is still applicable that "ghosts are afraid of people". As long as you attack with great force and vigor, ghosts will still be very scared. You can use the blood from the middle finger and the tip of the tongue for attack. The principle is that the blood from these two places has the heaviest yang energy. 3. Chanting mantras Another way to scare away ghosts is to utter mantras or the names of saints or Buddhas. If you don’t know how to chant, just shout “Amitabha” or something like that… What are the taboos to avoid during Ghost Festival?1. Don’t stick chopsticks into riceAlthough everyone eats rice, and it is normal to eat in order to fill the stomach, some people never stick their chopsticks into the rice when eating, as it is said that this will attract bad things to share the food. 2. You can’t go to the waterside to play It is forbidden to play in the water on the Ghost Festival. The Ghost Festival is the day when the gates of hell are wide open. In the summer, many people go swimming. But remember, it is best to stay away from rivers or reservoirs on the Ghost Festival, because according to legend, water ghosts will come looking for substitutes on this day. 3. Do not step on paper money Paper money is taboo. During the Ghost Festival, it is a custom in many places to burn paper money, whether it is at the ancestral grave or at a nearby crossroads. Remember, do not be disrespectful when passing by, and do not pick up paper money or step on it. |
