Don’t stick two chopsticks in the middle of the rice. This is like sticking incense in an incense burner. It is a form of worship. The other person will think that you are inviting him to share the food.2. Do not play in dangerous waters. According to legend, "water ghosts" will look for people to be scapegoats so that they can be reincarnated... 3. Do not pick up money on the street, as this money is used to bribe the lords. If you infringe on their things, you will be easily punished by them. 4. Don’t look back easily. When you are walking in the wilderness or sparsely populated areas, if you feel “as if” someone is calling you, don’t look back easily. 5. Don't stay up late. The human yang energy is at its weakest late at night, and the ghost's yin energy is at its strongest late at night. Staying up late can easily lead to the invasion of negative energy. 6. Do not steal the offerings. These are foods belonging to the Yin people. If you use them without their consent, you will only bring bad luck to yourself. 7. Avoid bringing red ropes, bells, wind chimes and other things that attract ghosts, and try to avoid going out at night. What are some sentences that express grief during the Ghost Festival?1. Blue sky, white clouds, and near dusk. Autumn chrysanthemums and lilies are heartbreaking. Lilac flowers, bitter gourd tea, with whom can I talk about mulberry and hemp? The Ghost Festival is the most elegant, whose house is leaning against the mountain? Thousands of glasses of wine, dry red wine, to share my sorrow with you.2. Think of the dead souls, express your grief, burn a stick of incense, worship your ancestors, tear off a piece of longing, let it go with the wind, pull off a trace of sadness, let it flow with the water. The Ghost Festival is here. May your deceased relatives rest in peace. May you be blessed with good fortune and happiness on this Ghost Festival. 3. After he passed away, the American people dimmed the lights the night after his funeral to express their mourning for his invention of the electric light that illuminated the whole world. 4. Standing on the high altar, overlooking life, I did not see the joy in the world, but only saw sorrow everywhere, sadness all over the sky, beauty withering like snow, and indifference drifting away like smoke. 5. July 15th is the Zhongyuan Festival, the main purpose of which is to worship ancestors. Although it is commonly known as the Ghost Festival, do not be panicked or timid. Prepare some wine and food and burn some paper money, kneel for a moment to remember the past, give gifts to the ancestors both new and old, no one will mind if it is more or less. 6. The Ghost Festival is here. I’ll give you a happy ghost, wishing you happy every day without worries; I’ll give you a rich ghost, wishing you prosperity and wealth; I’ll give you a happy ghost, wishing you a sweet life and everything goes well. Happy Ghost Festival! |
