The Zhongyuan Festival originated from the early "Mid-July" harvest and autumn festival to worship ancestors, and it is not a ghost festival. The fact that the "Mid-July Festival" is called the "Zhongyuan Festival" originated from Taoism after the Eastern Han Dynasty. "Mid-July Festival" originates from three cultures: folk secular, Taoism and Buddhism. Its sacrificial culture has been passed down for a long time and has a wide geographical influence. Buddhism and Taoism have different interpretations of the meaning of this festival. Taoism emphasizes filial piety; Buddhism focuses on "salvation" for the homeless souls released from the underworld.
