Ghost Festival generally refers to the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. The first day of July is not Ghost Festival.
The Ghost Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Fourteenth Day of the Seventh Month, the Ancestor Worship Festival, the Ullambana Festival, and the Earth God Festival. The main festival customs include worshiping ancestors, releasing river lanterns, worshiping the dead, burning paper ingots, and worshiping the land.

"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.

Sacrificial Rituals

1. Place food, bowls, chopsticks, wine glasses, tea and other offerings on the graves of ancestors, and then light three incense sticks in front of the graves.
2. Pour the first glass of wine after lighting the incense. After about 30 minutes or half of the incense is burned, one person will light three incense sticks for the second time and pour the second glass of wine.
3. When the incense is half burned, place offerings to the land god who looks after the grave, and then burn a piece of yellow paper to protect the ancestors from harm.
4. When the three incense sticks have burned out, remove the offerings and leave a small amount of money and other belongings to be burned on other graves to prevent other ghosts from stealing money and clothes from the ancestral graves after the people who visited the graves leave.
Things to note <br /> 1. Do not play around, run around, or mess around around the cemetery. Doing so is not only impolite, but also disrespectful to the ancestors.
Second, it is not advisable to wear bright red or bright green clothes, and pregnant women, the sick, and children under 7 years old should not go to sweep the graves.
3. When offering sacrifices, people usually say what they are going to do at the grave, why they are doing it, and hope that the ancestors will bless them, and everything will go smoothly and be safe.
