Do you know the taboos you must know in the seventh month of the lunar calendar?

1. Call by name. Do not wear clothes with your name embroidered on them at night to avoid being possessed by your soul. It is also best to avoid calling others by their full names, otherwise if the good brothers (a respectful name for ghosts in the Fujian and Taiwan folks) hear it, they will take the opportunity to take away his soul. At the same time, if you hear someone calling your name, do not turn around or respond immediately.

2. Don’t pat people on the shoulder. From the perspective of spiritualism, there are three fires in a person's body, one on the head and two shoulders. Therefore, during the Ghost Month, it is best not to pat others' heads and shoulders casually, so as not to extinguish the fire in their body and give their "good brothers" an opportunity to take advantage.

3. Do not whistle.

4. Do not play in dangerous waters. According to legend, "water ghosts" will look for someone to be their scapegoat so that they can be reincarnated.

5. Do not steal the offerings for worship, as you will compete with ghosts for food, or you may suffer bad luck.

6. Do not hang wind chimes at the head of the bed, as they will attract evil spirits; and do not play with Ouija boards. Don't plant banyan trees in front of your house as they can easily attract ghosts. Also, don't hang wind chimes in the house. Don't play with Ouija boards or visit temples, so as to reduce the possibility of being possessed by ghosts.

7. Night tour. Avoid going to remote or desolate places at night.

8. Don’t pick up coins or red envelopes on the ground casually; don’t pick up money on the roadside casually, because the money may belong to your good brothers, or it may be used to recruit a spouse for a ghost marriage.

9. When passing by a funeral site, do not have any disrespectful thoughts or words in your mind.

10. Avoid stepping on or burning ghost paper randomly. Ghost paper is burned for "good brothers" and gold paper is burned for gods. Burning ghost paper will only attract more good brothers.

11. Don't lean against the wall to rest. Don't lean against the wall for no reason, because "good brothers" usually like to lean on the wall to rest, which can easily attract ghosts.

12. Keep your clothes away to prevent ghosts from "borrowing" them. Before going to bed at night or before dark, take in the clothes that are hung outside to prevent them from being borrowed by ghosts. Don’t dry clothes outside at night (the shadows cast by clothes at night are very scary).

13. Don’t take photos randomly. It is best not to take photos randomly when traveling at night, otherwise the good brothers will appear in the camera to take photos with you. Also, do not shine the flashlight at trees randomly, so as not to disturb the "good brothers" who like to cling to the treetops.

14. Insert the chopsticks in the center of the rice. When eating, you should not stick the chopsticks on the rice bowl. The shape of it is like sticking incense on an incense burner, which will attract good brothers to share food with you.

15. Hang a wind chime at the head of the bed. Wind chimes easily attract "good brothers", and sleeping time is the time when they are most likely to be "invaded".

16. Play with the Ouija board. It is easy for something to go wrong when playing with the Ouija board at normal times, let alone during the Ghost Festival.

17. Stealing sacrificial offerings. These are foods belonging to the "good brothers". Using them without their consent will only bring yourself difficult-to-solve misfortunes.

18. Staying up late. The time when people are least popular is late at night, and the time when ghosts are most popular is also late at night. In comparison, who will win?

19. Pulling out leg hair. As the saying goes, "One leg hair can attract three ghosts", so the more leg hair a person has, the less likely ghosts will dare to approach him.

20. If you encounter supernatural events such as being possessed by a ghost or being trapped in a ghost wall, don't panic. Concentrate all your attention and open your eyes.
