Follow Shuimoxiansheng.com to learn more about the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2019!Is it not possible to move house during the Ghost Month in the seventh month of the lunar calendar?Answer: The seventh month of the lunar calendar is called the Ghost Month in folk custom, and it is not suitable to move house.According to folk tradition, the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the Ghost Month, with the gates of hell opening on the first day of July and closing on the 30th. Therefore, people call July the Ghost Month. They believe that this month is an unlucky month and a month in which no important events can be held. People cannot get married or move house. In this month, in addition to worshiping their ancestors at night, people also prepare some dishes, wine, rice, gold and silver paper, etc. and go to the intersections to worship ghosts and gods. Many people believe that you cannot get married or move into new house in the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The biggest reason is that they believe that there is a Zhongyuan Festival in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, which is the Ghost Month and the most important time period for yin energy. Therefore, they believe that getting married or moving into new house in this month is unlucky and will affect your fortune. But in modern times, many people no longer care so much, and these folk customs can only be used as a reference. The complete list of taboos in the Ghost Month of the seventh lunar month:1. Avoid whistling after the Shen time (3pm to 5pm) (the frequency resonates with the spiritual world and can easily attract evil), including whistling of flute and erhu! Sad sounds may easily attract evil spirits to come and listen, so it is not advisable!2. Do not hang or collect clothes in the middle of the night (especially if they are half wet) as this may cause you to be possessed. Because the water vapor from wet clothes carries unstable ions, the magnetic field and radio waves are easily compatible with the underworld, allowing evil spirits to attach to them. 3. Avoid opening an umbrella indoors. Because umbrellas are soul-collecting instruments and are where ghosts hide, when you walk outdoors with an umbrella, it is easy to attract evil spirits to rest under the umbrella. If you bring the umbrella home and then open it, the evil spirits in the umbrella will be released. It is best not to bring the umbrella into the house. 4. Dolls and statues should not be newly purchased or accepted as gifts, and previous dolls should be immediately tied up (with five-zog string to form a string or red dot) to prevent them from being possessed. Because spirits have no physical bodies, if they are wandering ghosts, they will easily target various human-shaped objects in order to find a home. 5. Never say the word "ghost". Otherwise the good brothers will mistakenly think they are calling it. 6. Don’t pat others on the shoulders. Because everyone has three fires on their shoulders and head, and they will be extinguished if you hit them randomly. If you hear someone calling you, don't just turn your head, turn your whole body. 7. Avoid catching dragonflies and katydids. People believe that these two insects are the incarnation of ghosts. If you catch them indiscriminately, be careful not to attract ghosts. 8. Don't play with money fairies or Ouija boards in the ghost month, lest your good friends take possession of you. It's easy to invite them but hard to send them away. 9. In a public restroom or in the suburbs, if you need to use the toilet, remember to say "please make way for a moment, my good brothers" and greet your good brothers first to avoid being rude to them and offending them. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
