What is the purpose of the Ghost Festival?

"Zhongyuan Festival" is the name given by Taoism, and it is commonly known as "Mid-July" (or "Fourteenth Day of July") in the folk society. Its origin can be traced back to the ancestor worship and related sacrifices in ancient times. The festival is related to the cycle of yin and yang in ancient culture. In the Book of Changes, "seven" is a changing number and the number of resurrection. July is an auspicious month and a month for filial piety. The Mid-July Festival is a folk festival in early autumn to celebrate the harvest and to thank the earth. When some crops mature, people will worship their ancestors and offer new rice as sacrifices to report the autumn harvest to their ancestors. This festival is a traditional cultural festival to commemorate ancestors, and its cultural core is respecting ancestors and being filial.
This festival originated from the early "Mid-July" festival when crops were harvested and ancestor worship was performed in autumn. The origin of "Mid-July" can be traced back to the ancient ancestor worship and harvest festivals. In ancient times, people often relied on the protection of gods for a good harvest. Ancestor worship takes place in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but the "autumn tasting" in early autumn is particularly important. Autumn is the harvest season. People hold ceremonies to offer sacrifices to the spirits of their ancestors, first offering the seasonal delicacies to the gods, then tasting the fruits of their labor and praying for a good harvest in the coming year.
The customs of the Ghost Festival include worshipping ancestors, releasing river lanterns, worshipping the dead, burning paper ingots, etc.

Japan's Mid-Autumn Festival

The Obon Festival was introduced to Japan from China during the Sui and Tang dynasties during the Asuka period and is commonly known as "Obon" (Obon, pronounced: O-bon, the abbreviation of Obon Festival).
It will be held from July 13th to 16th in cities and from August 13th to 16th in rural areas. Sweep the tombs before the 13th day, welcome the ancestors' ghosts on the 13th day, and send them off on the 16th day.
There is also the custom of sending gifts during the Zhongyuan Festival. According to folk customs, people will gather together to perform a dance called "Ben Odori", which focuses on hand movements, similar to today's Para Para.
The Japanese attach great importance to the Obon Festival, which has become an important festival second only to New Year's Day. Enterprises and companies usually take a week off, which is called "Bon Kyu". Many Japanese who work away from home choose to use this holiday to return home to reunite with their ancestors and worship their ancestors. At this time, the streets of big cities (such as Tokyo, Osaka, etc.) are often deserted, which is a bit similar to China's Tomb-Sweeping Day.
