Avoid whistlingDuring the Qingming Festival, don't whistle when you go out at night. The sound of whistling can easily attract ghosts. Be careful that they may hear you and follow you. 2. Avoid calling names Don’t call people’s names easily when you are outside on Qingming night. Try to use code names to avoid the ghosts remembering their names. 3. Avoid going out at night It is best not to go out at night during the Qingming Festival, especially for people with a weak horoscope. Also, don't go to remote or sparsely populated places, otherwise you will only ask for trouble. 4. Avoid taking photos at night Don’t take photos on Qingming night, especially selfies. It’s easy to take them in the photo and bring them home, which can cause trouble. 5. Don’t look back easily When you are out and about during the Qingming Festival or walking in a sparsely populated area, if you vaguely feel someone calling you, do not look back easily, because it might be a ghost. 6. Avoid hugging each other’s shoulders There are three fires on a person's body, one on the top of the head and one on each shoulder. Putting your arms around others' shoulders will extinguish the fire. If all the fires are extinguished, it is very likely that the person will be possessed by a ghost. 7. Avoid stepping on ghost paper If you see people burning paper money on the road during the Qingming Festival, you must not step over it, because the burning paper money is a sacrifice to ghosts, and stepping on it will bring revenge. 8. Avoid picking up money on the roadside When you go back to your hometown to visit the graves during the Qingming Festival, do not pick up any money you see on the road. This money could be used to bribe the Ox-Head and Horse-Face Demons, or it could be a trap set by ghosts. No matter which one it is, stepping on it randomly may be disadvantageous to yourself. Is Qingming Festival the Ghost Festival?Qingming Festival is a sacrificial festival, and it and the Zhongyuan Festival are one of the most important sacrificial festivals in my country. These two festivals are often called Ghost Festivals among the people, but the Ghost Festival more often refers to the Zhongyuan Festival.Sacrificial festivals are generally filled with negative energy, and people believe that the underworld will be closed during the tomb-sweeping and ancestor-worshipping festivals, and ghosts will return to the human world, so there are many taboos and prohibitions during this period. However, before Qingming Festival became a sacrificial festival, it was one of the 24 solar terms. It only evolved into a sacrificial festival by absorbing the customs of March 3 (Shangsi Festival) and Cold Clothes Festival. Therefore, Ghost Festival refers more to the Zhongyuan Festival on July 15, and legend has it that the gates of hell open during the Zhongyuan Festival. Do you want to know your own Bazi?
