The date of the 2019 Lunar Ghost Festival is Thursday, August 15, 2019 (the 15th day of the seventh month of the Year of the Pig, 51 days away from the 2019 Lunar 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.

What are the taboos to pay attention to during funerals?

1. Avoid holding funerals on double-year dates. Even days are a bad omen, as people believe that a funeral held on an even day means two deaths. Therefore, funerals must be held on odd days and not on even days.
2. Avoid holding funerals at noon. This taboo custom exists in the Li ethnic group area. If someone dies in a Li family, they are usually buried in the afternoon after dying in the morning, or the next day after dying in the afternoon. The body is kept at home for a very short time, but it is taboo to hold the funeral at noon. It is believed that violating taboos will bring disaster.
3. Avoid shedding tears on the corpse. There is a saying circulating in some areas that if someone in the family dies, one should avoid crying when dressing the deceased to avoid spilling tears on the corpse. It is believed that something will happen and the dead will be awakened.
4. Avoid letting the coffin go out through the door. There is a saying that the Manchus have taboo customs. It is believed that doors are places for people to enter and exit, and it is taboo for the deceased to walk sideways, otherwise it is considered unlucky, so there is a custom of taking out the coffin through the window.
5. Cats are not allowed to appear in front of the coffin. Before the funeral, the body is kept at the wake and cats are not allowed to approach. It is believed that if a cat touches or jumps over the body, it will be as if the deceased suddenly stands up, which means harm to the family.
