Analysis of the taboos in the seventh month of the lunar calendar!The seventh month of the lunar calendar was originally called the "Ghost Month", and from the first day of July onwards, the "gates of hell" would open wide. According to legend, the deceased ancestors are released by the King of Hell for half a month, so this month is also called "Mid-July" in the south. In this month, the underworld is like the New Year in our world. The gates of hell are wide open and all the ghosts in the underworld will flock to the world of the living to wander around everywhere looking for food and visiting their families. Later we called this festival "Ghost Festival".The first day of the seventh month: opening the ground door <br /> The first day of the ghost month, the first day of the seventh month, is the day for private homes to "open the ground door" and worship is required. On this day, the gates of hell opened and the ghosts came down to the mortal world. There are big sacrifices and small sacrifices. A big festival is to prepare a table full of delicious dishes, while a small festival is to simply sell some fruits and biscuits. No matter what, it's just a way to express respect. Why should we invite ghosts and gods to dinner for no reason? As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who receive favors, and one should be soft-hearted when one eats from others. Although the word for this kind of worship is "feast", the implication is: eat these and you will trouble me less. If you are renting someone else's private house, as it stands, officials do not repair government offices and guests do not repair shops, so there is no need to offer sacrifices. The second day of the seventh month: Opening the Heavenly Gate <br /> The second day of the Ghost Month, the second day of the seventh month, is the day to "open the Earthly Gate" in public places. Businesses, government offices and other institutions hold memorial services one day later than private residences. The purpose of the worship is to ensure a peaceful month without any supernatural incidents. Drivers still have to light incense and pray in front of the sign. I am still very interested in life. Don’t joke with me while driving and don’t force me to do “alternations”. July 15: Zhongyuan Festival <br /> The fifteenth day of the Ghost Month, July 15, is Zhongyuan Festival. It is reasonable to worship ancestors. Ancestors are the roots of a family, and as their descendants, we should worship them. When drinking water, one should remember its source; when being a human, one should never forget one’s roots. Xiao Qian's way of worshipping ancestors is to place the offerings first, then recite the ancestor's name or generation (such as grandfather, great-grandfather) and say a few respectful words, and then burn paper money. Please note that crabs cannot be used in sacrifices, as they are said to scratch the faces of the ancestors! During the dark nights of this day (early morning and late night), ghosts and gods gather together and the yin energy is at its strongest. By the same token, on the next day, July 16, sacrifices were held in public places. July 16: Purdue Festival <br /> Pudu Festival is held in the Ghost Month. Each family divides their private residential areas and holds a banquet to pray for the salvation of all living beings according to the sacrificial days passed down by their ancestors. This is a public sacrifice. The public memorial service is mainly aimed at the wandering souls passing by, so that they can be well fed and watered and no longer harass the living. It is also intended to persuade wandering ghosts to be good, to let them know that the world has not abandoned them, and to hope that their resentment can be resolved through public sacrifices. |
