What is the custom of welcoming the ghost ship during the Dragon Boat Festival?

Welcoming the ghost ship is one of the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. In some parts of southern Jiangxi, there is a custom of welcoming ghost ships.
As the water in this area is shallow, dragon boat races cannot be held, so on the fifth day of May, people make land boats out of paper straw and take them to climb mountains and parade through the streets, which is called "welcoming the ghost boat."
Most of the ghosts were lazy, so they got on the boat. After the parade, the land boats are burned outside the village to kill the ghosts on the boats so that they will no longer harm the world and people can enjoy peace.
The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year. According to the "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji", because people climb high places in midsummer when the sun is in the sky, and May is midsummer, its first noon is the day for climbing high places in the sky, so the fifth day of May is also called the "Dragon Boat Festival." In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Muri Festival, May Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Bathing Orchid Festival", etc. The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional cultural festival popular in China and other countries in the Chinese cultural circle.

——The origin of the term Dragon Boat Festival

The word "Dragon Boat Festival" first appeared in the "Fengtu Ji" of the Western Jin Dynasty: "The Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer refers to the fifth day of May. The custom attaches great importance to this day, which is the same as the summer solstice.
"Duan" means beginning or the beginning in ancient Chinese, so "Duanwu" is also called "the fifth day of the fifth lunar month". "Shuowen Jiezi" says: "Duan means the beginning of things", which means that Duan means the beginning, so the fifth day of May is called "Duanwu Festival".
"Sui Shi Guang Ji" said: "The merchants in the capital city regard the first day of May as Duan Yi, the second day as Duan Er, and the number of days up to the fifth day as Duan Wu."
The ancients used to call the first few days of May "Duan". Therefore, the first noon day of May is called Dragon Boat Festival.
