When you are out in a remote place, be sure not to look back easily. Even if you hear someone calling your name, if it is not very likely that the person calling you is someone you know, then you should just keep going forward and don't look back to avoid encountering unclean things. 8 taboos of the Ghost Festival: Don’t pick up money casually When you go out, don't pick up money on the roadside casually, because the money may be used to bribe the Ox-Head and Horse-Face Ghosts. When you pick it up, the ghosts will think that you want to steal their money and property, and then they will cause trouble for you, thus causing you unnecessary trouble. 8 taboos of the Ghost Festival: Don’t hang clothes out to dry late at night The midnight hour, i.e. 11:00-12:00, is when yin and yang are in harmony. It is the time of the day when yin energy is the heaviest and it is also the best time for sleep. 8 taboos during the Ghost Festival: Don’t go out at night The yin energy on Ghost Festival is very strong and there is a folk legend that it is best to go home early on this day and not stay in the wilderness at night, as you are unlikely to see the spectacle of hundreds of ghosts parading at night. 8 taboos of the Ghost Festival: Don’t put chopsticks randomly During the two days of Ghost Festival, do not stick two chopsticks in the middle of the rice when eating. This is like sticking incense in an incense burner, as if you are offering a sacrifice. This is unlucky and will attract ghosts to share your food. 8 taboos during the Ghost Festival: Don’t open an umbrella indoors Ghost Festival usually coincides with the rainy season. On rainy days, many people like to open their wet umbrellas to dry them as soon as they get home. This practice should be stopped during Ghost Festival because it is said that umbrellas are the place where ghosts hide. Walking outdoors with an umbrella can easily attract friends from the spirit world to rest under the umbrella. If you bring it home and open it, the friends inside the umbrella will be released! 8 taboos of the Ghost Festival: Don’t eat sacrificial offerings There are many offerings during the Ghost Festival, and these offerings are used for worship, not to be eaten casually. If you eat them casually, it is easy to bring disaster upon yourself. 8 taboos during the Ghost Festival: Don’t play sad songs Sad songs or tragic music can be used to attract spirits, especially some brave ghost-hunting teams, who directly use tragic songs to attract spirits. For example, "I'm Waiting for You to Come Back" is a classic song to attract spirits. Does the Ghost Festival need to be celebrated one day in advance?Regarding the early celebration of the Ghost Festival:At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty army marched south and brutally oppressed the villagers. At that time, the Hakka people were terrified when they heard the news, but it happened to be the "Zhongyuan Festival" approaching, so they celebrated the festival the day before the arrival of the Yuan soldiers - offering sacrifices to their ancestors and saving the souls of the dead in order to avoid being harassed by the soldiers. From then on, the Hakka people got used to celebrating Ghost Festival on July 14th. Regarding the early celebration of the Ghost Festival: From Hongkeng, Yongding, western Fujian. The legend goes that there were two brothers named Lin who lived in Hongkeng and Yantai respectively. In order to repay their mother for raising them, they decided to take turns to take care of her. They decided to spend the Dragon Boat Festival, Double Ninth Festival and Zhongyuan Festival at their mother's home in Hongkeng one day in advance to show their filial piety. This became a regular practice a few years later and is still followed today. What is 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.
