How many days does the Ghost Festival last? Legend has it that every seventh month of the lunar calendar, the gates of the underworld open and hundreds of ghosts roam at night, so the entire seventh month is called the Ghost Month.

How many days does the Ghost Festival last?《1》Statement 1: The Ghost Festival lasts for 3 days.The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is what the Chinese often call Ghost Festival. But in fact, from July 14th to 16th, the gates of hell are wide open. So the Zhongyuan Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival, usually lasts for three days. The Ghost Gate opens to allow ghosts wandering in the underworld to return to the world of the living and reunite with their relatives, but there are also a large number of lonely ghosts or evil spirits with hatred who will return to the world of the living to do evil. 《2》Second statement: The Ghost Festival lasts for one month. During the Ghost Festival, many people will choose a day between the first and thirtieth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar to hold sacrificial activities with offerings such as wine, meat, sugar cakes, and fruits to comfort the ghosts wandering in the human world and pray for their own peace and success throughout the year. For more grand ceremonies, monks and Taoists are even invited to chant scriptures and perform rituals to liberate the souls of the deceased. During this period, some people would place statues of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Maudgalyayana and other Buddhas on a high platform, or ask artists to play the role of the exorcist god Zhong Kui (some people would ask artists to control Zhong Kui's puppets) to dispel the evil spirits of the dead. It is said that the 15th day of the seventh lunar month coincides with the transition from summer to autumn, which is exactly the point when the yin and yang of heaven and earth alternate. The yang energy reaches its peak and then declines, while the yin energy appears. On this day, the gates of hell are opened in the palace of heaven and earth, and ghosts are released, so activities to worship ghosts are common. There is also a saying in later generations that the entire seventh lunar month should be the "Ghost Festival". On the first day of the seventh lunar month every year, the King of Hell opens the Ghost Gate and lets the ghosts out to find food in the world of the living and enjoy people's offerings. On the last day of July, the Ghost Gate is closed again, and the ghosts have to return to the underworld. Ghost Festival Customs: Ancestor Worship People believe that their ancestors will return home to visit their descendants on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, so they need to worship their ancestors. This act of ancestor worship is a manifestation of the traditional ethics of respecting the dead, remembering the past, and consolidating the roots, and is a cultural tradition of gratitude to ancestors. It is the time for harvesting crops in the early autumn, and it is also a good time to share the joy of the harvest with ancestors. The worship ceremony is usually held in the evening in mid-July. On ordinary days, people worship their ancestors, but usually their tablets are not moved. When it comes to the "Mid-July" ancestor worship, the tablets of the ancestors must be taken out one by one and placed respectfully on a special offering table used for worship. Incense is then burned in front of each ancestor's tablet. Tea and food are offered three times a day, in the morning, noon and evening. Because customs vary slightly from place to place, the ways of celebrating festivals are also different, and the time of festivals may also vary.
