Taboo of the Ghost Festival: sticking chopsticks in the middle of 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. 3.

Ghost Festival Taboo: Stealing Sacrificial Offerings These are foods that belong to good brothers. Using them without their consent will only bring yourself difficult-to-solve misfortunes. 10. Ghost Festival Taboo: Whistling Whistle at night, be careful that your good brother likes you 11.

Ghost Festival Taboo: Staying up late The time when human popularity is the weakest is late at night, and the time when ghost energy is the strongest is also late at night. In comparison, who will win? 13. Taboo during the Ghost Festival: pulling out leg hair. As the saying goes, "One leg hair can attract three ghosts", so the more leg hairs a person has, the less likely ghosts will dare to approach him. 14. Ghost Festival taboo: Don’t rest against the wall 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. 15. Taboos during the Ghost Festival: 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 at night (the shadows of clothes at night are very scary); 16. Taboos of the Ghost Festival: Don’t panic when encountering supernatural events, keep your eyes open and concentrate. If you encounter supernatural events such as being possessed by a ghost or being trapped in a wall by a ghost, don't panic. Concentrate all your attention and open your eyes. Analysis on the Ghost Festival:The Zhongyuan Festival, also known as the ancestor worship festival on the 15th day of the seventh month, is also known as the Ghost Festival, the Zhaigu Festival, and the Earth Official Festival. The main festival customs include worshiping ancestors, releasing river lanterns, worshiping the dead, and burning paper ingots. The Zhongyuan Festival evolved from the "mid-July" harvest festival in ancient times when people would offer sacrifices to their ancestors. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival for people to celebrate the harvest and thank the earth in early autumn. When some crops mature, people will worship their ancestors and offer new rice as sacrifices to report the autumn harvest to their ancestors. It is a traditional cultural festival that commemorates ancestors, and its cultural core is respecting ancestors and being filial.The "Mid-July Festival" was originally a folk festival for ancestor worship in ancient times, and it was called the "Zhongyuan Festival" because of the Taoist saying after the Eastern Han Dynasty. Taoism believes that the 15th day of the seventh lunar month is the birthday of the God of Earth. On the day of praying to the God of Earth to forgive sins, the underworld will release all ghosts and the deceased ancestors can return home for reunion. Therefore, the 15th day of the seventh lunar month to worship ancestors is called the "Zhongyuan Festival"; in Buddhism, it is called the "Yulanpen Festival". During the Tang Dynasty when the rulers promoted Taoism, the Taoist Zhongyuan Festival began to flourish, and gradually "Zhongyuan" was fixed as the name of the festival and has been used to this day. The Zhongyuan Festival, Shangyuan Festival and Xiayuan Festival are collectively called the "Three Yuans". Ancestor worship on July 14th and 15th is a traditional cultural festival popular in countries within the Chinese cultural circle and overseas Chinese communities. It is one of the major traditional festivals of the Chinese nation for ancestor worship, along with New Year's Eve, Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival. In May 2010, the Ministry of Culture selected the "Zhongyuan Festival (Taiwanese Yulan Festival)" submitted by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and included it in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
