Guangdong Ghost Festival customs: Burning clothes on July 14th
In southern China, there is a tradition of offering sacrifices to ancestors on July 14. On this day, everyone, rich or poor, prepares food and wine, incense, candles and paper money to offer sacrifices to their ancestors to show their remembrance of them.
People in Guangdong call it "July 14th". In the old days, residents would go to the underworld shops to buy gold and silver paper clothes (various colored papers, believed to be able to make underworld clothes), river silver (underworld money), gold ingots and other funerary items before the festival. They would put them in paper bags, seal them, and call them "packages". On a chosen day, in the afternoon, they would offer sacrifices to their ancestors along with sacrificial animals, wine and fruits. After the worship, they would burn the funerary items (packages), commonly known as "burning clothes".
After nightfall, various funeral items, rice, wine, food, incense and paper are placed in front of the door as offerings to the homeless ghosts.
After the sacrifice, the funeral utensils are burned and the offerings (wine and food) are left outside the door and not taken back, which is commonly known as "burning the ghost". The customs of the Ghost Festival in Hong Kong and Macao are the same as those in Guangdong.
