What is the Ghost Festival?The Zhongyuan Festival, commonly known as the Ghost Festival, falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month and is known as the Yulanpen Festival in Buddhism.The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is called the Shangyuan Festival by the Han people, which is a Lantern Festival that has existed since ancient times; the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is called the Zhongyuan Festival by the Han people, which is a day to worship ancestors; the fifteenth day of the tenth lunar month is called the Xiayuan Festival by the Han people, which is a day to eat cold food and commemorate the wise men. The Ghost Festival falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and some fall on the 14th day of the seventh lunar month. It was the beginning of autumn, and some crops had matured. According to custom, people would worship their ancestors, offering sacrifices such as new rice to report the harvest to them. Therefore, every Ghost Festival, every family worships their ancestors and performs offerings according to the rituals. On July 15th, people visit tombs and worship their ancestors. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoism set three meetings and five festivals, among which July 7 was the Daode Festival, and it was also the day for the fixed Taoists to go to the government office to receive examinations. This ancestor worship date in July was later fixed on this day as Taoism set the birthday of the Zhongyuan Earth God and the corresponding sacrificial date on July 15th. Legend has it that on this day all ghosts are released from the underworld, and people generally hold activities to worship ghosts. Every family that has a new death has to visit the new grave, and usually they also offer sacrifices to lonely ghosts in the local area. Therefore, the entire festival is centered around worshiping ghosts, and it is one of the largest sacrificial festivals among the Chinese people.
