If your mom or dad calls and asks you to go home to worship your ancestors, you can, but don't bring any food. Is the Ghost Festival the Ghost Festival?The Zhongyuan Festival is the Ghost Festival. According to one of the folk sayings, the Zhongyuan Festival is the day when the gates of hell open, hence the name Ghost Festival.The "Zhongyuan Festival" in the north is on July 15th, and in southern China it is on July 14th. It is generally believed that the Zhongyuan Festival is also the "Yulanpen Festival"; in fact, this understanding is a big misunderstanding. Strictly speaking, the July 14th Ancestor Worship Festival, the Zhongyuan Festival and the Yulan Festival belong to folk beliefs, Taoism and Buddhism respectively. The three are in a parallel relationship and are not three different names for the same festival. Since the rise of Taoism, the word "Zhongyuan" in the "Three Yuan Theory" was officially fixed as the name of the festival in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and the festival was set on July 15th. This festival is a combination of three customs. Before the formation of the "Zhongyuan Festival", July 15th had already been appropriated by Buddhism. The seventh month in Buddhism was originally a month of joy for Buddha, not a "Ghost Festival". But why did the Ullambana Festival in July become the "Ghost Festival"? Ullambana is the transliteration of the Sanskrit word Ulambana, which originally meant "saving hanging upside down", that is, saving ghosts suffering in hell. The Buddhist scripture "Ullambana Sutra" was translated and introduced to China during the Western Jin Dynasty. The story of "Mulian saving his mother" is included in the sutra, which coincides with the concept of filial piety that still existed at that time. It was later advocated by Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, of the Southern Dynasty, who advocated the "Three Religions Have the Same Origin Theory", and was designated as a folk festival. Its main function at that time was to worship the Buddha. Sichuan Ghost Festival customs: Burning paper to worship ancestors In Sichuan Province, it is customary to burn paper money to worship ancestors during the Zhongyuan Festival. That is, a stack of paper money is put into a small envelope with the recipient's title and name, the number of envelopes received, the name of the person who burned the silk and the time written on it. It is said that the gates of hell close on July 15th, and every family must give gifts to orphans and children. In the Chengdu area, people make "flower plates" out of paper, put paper money and fruit offerings on them, hold them in their hands, and walk around the house chanting: "Dear friends, neighbors, former residents, the souls who are reluctant to go back, all the lonely ghosts, please get on the flower plate, I will send you back!" After saying this, they take the paper to burn it outside the house. A new stage of life has already begun in 2020.
