The 15th day of the seventh lunar month every year is the Zhongyuan Festival. Legend has it that on this day the gates of hell will open and the ghosts of loved ones will return to the human world. Therefore, we have to worship our ancestors on this day. What should be written on the front of the paper money burned on the Ghost Festival? Why do we burn paper money during the Ghost Festival? The seventh month of the lunar calendar is a month filled with the fragrance of fruits and flowers. So how is the seventh month of the lunar calendar 2019? Mr. Shui Mo's website will take you to learn more information!What should be written on the front of the paper money burned during the Ghost Festival?The paper money burned during the Ghost Festival is called "fubao". In ancient times, people would commemorate the deceased by putting paper money in the form of a envelope and give it to the souls of the netherworld to express their grief. It is equivalent to people mailing money now. Due to different regions, the writing methods are not exactly the same, but they are generally similar. There are many requirements for writing, and with the passing of the older generation, it is gradually being lost.Wrap the rolled paper money with white paper to make rectangular bundles. After sealing, the word "respect" should be written in calligraphy on the front of the bundle. There is only one word written on the back of the bundle: seal. It is written in cursive, pressing the seam of the origami, to represent the seal, so as not to let others take it away during mailing. Why do we burn paper money during the Ghost Festival?Every year on the 13th (for newly deceased persons) and 14th (for old deceased persons) day of the seventh lunar month, people burn paper money to commemorate the dead. The purpose is to send money to the souls of deceased ancestors so that they will have money to use in the underworld and better protect their descendants. According to legend, paper in the world of the living is money in the underworld, and people burn paper to send money to their deceased ancestors and relatives. Usually when burning paper at the grave, people would leave a few sheets and burn them at the crossroads. The purpose was to give some alms to the wild ghosts that could return to their homes, so that they would not rob the money given to their ancestors.The Zhongyuan Festival is a traditional festival in my country and is also popular in countries in the Chinese character cultural circle. For example, countries such as Thailand, Japan, North Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, etc. all have corresponding traditional customs such as ancestor worship and salvation. The sacrificial activities of the Ghost Festival are not only a remembrance of ancestors, but also an act of charity. This kind of compassion is worth learning and emulating.
