In some places, it is customary to burn sacrificial offerings in front of the door. In many places in Yanbei and counties such as Pingyao in Jinzhong, women would cry loudly outside their doors in the evening.Some places also believe that Ghost Festival is a day with heavy yin energy after all, and people will inevitably worry about being contaminated by unclean energy outside at night. Therefore, it is best to visit the graves and sweep tombs on Cold Clothes Festival between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m., the time when yang energy is most abundant in the day. You should not visit the graves in the afternoon. In addition, those who are ill should not participate. The elderly, children and pregnant women are not suitable to go to the cemetery. Those who have had bad luck recently should not participate. Also, don't go to the cemetery after dark. During the sacrifice, do not laugh or play games at the grave, do not utter disrespectful words, and leave cleanly and neatly without leaving any stolen items. Therefore, the folk customs of each place are different, and the time for burning paper is not fixed. It is also acceptable to burn paper on the night of the Cold Clothes Festival, and it should be done according to local customs. Is Cold Clothes Festival the Ghost Festival?The first day of the tenth month in the lunar calendar is called "October Chao", also known as "Ancestor Worship Festival" or "Mingyin Festival". On this day, special emphasis is placed on commemorating the deceased and sending them winter clothes. It is known as one of the three major "ghost festivals" of the year, along with the Qingming Festival in spring and the Zhongyuan Festival in autumn.On this day, people will pay tribute to their ancestors and express their grief in various ways. At the same time, this day also marks the arrival of severe winter, so it is also the day when parents, lovers, etc. send warm clothes to those they care about. "In October, the City God goes out on patrol again, with flags and banners covering the sky and little dust. What a pity, how many beautiful girls have to disguise themselves as men in shackles and chains." This Song Dynasty bamboo branch poem was written about the first day of the tenth month in the ancient lunar calendar, commonly known as "opening the ghost gate." Legend has it that all the ghosts imprisoned in the underworld are "liberated" (and will return to their graves on the Qingming Festival the following year). On this day, they will go to their respective graves to collect cotton-padded clothes and "money and food" sent by their relatives, so it is also called the "Cold Clothes Festival." As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
