Taboos for pregnant women during the Ghost Festival!

Don't wander in the night
I know that some pregnant mothers have the habit of taking a walk at night, but I suggest you not to go on the Ghost Festival, because you may see some people burning paper or something like that. Even if not, you may hear some stories about the Ghost Festival.
Don't watch horror videos
Some pregnant mothers believe that watching more horror movies can help the fetus build courage!
Don't go to bed after twelve o'clock
Good sleep quality is an important factor in the healthy development of the fetus. According to folklore, don’t look in the mirror at 12 o’clock on the Ghost Festival!
Don't take photos at night
I know that many pregnant mothers take photos to record the growth of their babies during pregnancy. This is a manifestation of love. Taking photos is not allowed on the night of the Ghost Festival. According to folk saying, it is best not to take photos at night, otherwise ghosts will appear in the camera and take photos with you. Also, do not shine flashlights on trees, so as not to disturb the ghosts who like to attach to the treetops.

Origin of the Ghost Festival:

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.
