Shaobao Shaobao : "Ghost Festival", commonly known as "Mid-July" (the 13th or 14th in some areas). When sending off the ancestors, a lot of paper money and other ghostly offerings are burned so that the "ancestors can enjoy them". At the same time, money and paper are put into a paper envelope with the name of the beneficiary written on it and burned during the sacrifice, which is called "burning the envelope". For those who passed away within this year, new dumplings are burned with great fanfare; for those who passed away more than a year ago, old dumplings are burned.
On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, when the Yāma-kou ritual is held, a Dharma master's seat and a platform for offering alms are set up in front of Jiekou Village. In front of the monk's seat is a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who is dedicated to liberating the souls in "hell", and below it are plates of peaches and rice. There are three spirit tablets and soul-calling banners on the Shigu platform. After noon, every household put all kinds of steamed cakes, fruits, melons and fruits on the Shi Gu platform. The person in charge inserted a triangular paper flag of blue, red, green or other colors on each offering, with words such as "Yulan Festival" and "The Gate of Nectar Opens" written on it. The ceremony began with solemn temple music. Then, the master rang the bell and led the monks to chant various mantras and true words. Then offer food by scattering a plate of peaches and rice in all directions, and repeat three times. This kind of ceremony is called "Fang Yankou".
On the afternoon of July 15th, everyone began to prepare for the evening worship. There were hundreds of plates of various sacrificial offerings and fruits on the altar, dozens or even hundreds of pigs were slaughtered, truckloads of rice and grains were loaded, and mountains of fish and mountains of inner water were standing tall. It was an extremely extravagant occasion, just like a "jiao ceremony". Monks or Taoists are also invited to perform rituals and chant scriptures to guide lonely ghosts and return them to heaven and earth. Sometimes folk operas such as Zhong Xudao Catching Ghosts are also performed. Ullambana Festival: July 15th is the last day of the so-called summer retreat in Buddhism, and it is filled with Dharma and goodness. During the ceremony on this day, monks chanted sutras, prepared various delicacies, and offered them to the monks, bringing immeasurable merits.
Grab the orphan
]A platform more than ten feet high was set up in the square of Pudu, and it was filled with various offerings. After the pudu was over, the host gave an order and everyone rushed forward to grab the items. Because there was no order and it was easy to cause casualties, the Qing Dynasty ordered it to be suspended. In 1992, the event was held again in Toucheng, Yilan, still following the old system. A shed nearly four stories high was erected, on which thirteen food items and pure gold medals were placed. The participating teams are divided into groups of five, and each team controls a pillar. When the organizer gives the order, the contestants will climb up recklessly. Since there are rules for the game, there is no chaos, and it is a folk sport worth promoting. The origin of the "抢孤" activity: Because ghosts gather in July, people invented this activity to prevent them from lingering around. It is said that when ghosts see a group of people who are more ferocious than themselves snatching offerings, they will be scared and run away.
