Let’s go to the Fortune Teller website to learn more about the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2018.

What are the taboos of Ghost Festival on July 15th? What can’t we do during the Zhongyuan Festival?

1. Go home early at night and do not go to remote places alone at night <br /> During the ghost month, there are more ghosts in the world of the living at night, and some places have heavier yin energy. If a person goes to a remote place, he is likely to attract these beings. Girls, especially those who are menstruating, need to pay special attention. It is dangerous to stay outside at night during the Ghost Month. It is best to be accompanied by a friend. Of course, the best situation is to go home as soon as possible. If you happen to encounter a strange creature at night, don't be too scared. Urinating and spitting can protect you.
2. Don’t randomly pat others on the shoulder, don’t randomly call others’ names <br /> In the ghost month, one of the taboos among friends is to pat each other’s shoulders as a joke, because there is yang fire in the shoulders, which may be temporarily extinguished after patting, which gives ghosts an opportunity. If the person is physically weak or has a bad fate, the yang energy may be seriously deficient after the slapping, and the chance of the ghost succeeding will greatly increase.
It is also an ancient custom not to call other people's names randomly. During the ghost month, especially outside at night, it is best to call your friends by nicknames or abbreviations, because if the full name is heard by ghosts, the ghosts may also find an opportunity to call this person. Another taboo is that during the Ghost Month, if you hear someone calling you from behind, do not turn around, because it may be a trick of ghosts.
3. Don’t lean against the wall or squat on the ground during the ghost month <br /> Ghosts generally like dark places. If there is no dark place, they like to wander around the wall. So if you lean against the wall, you may be contaminated by some ghosts or ghost aura, which is not good for people. So during the Ghost Month, don’t always lean against the wall, and don’t just squat on the ground.
4. Don’t talk about ghosts at night in the ghost month <br /> In fact, as the old saying goes, don’t talk about people during the day and don’t talk about ghosts at night. Especially during the Ghost Month, if you get excited and start talking about ghosts while dining out, well, the ghosts might target you. If you say something nice, it might be okay, but if you talk nonsense, you might get into some minor trouble.
5. If you hang clothes outside during the Ghost Month, be sure to collect them in time <br /> During the Ghost Month, if you don’t collect the clothes you left outside at night, it may not be a good thing. Because ghosts like human clothes the most, because these clothes have human smell and can also satisfy some of the ghosts' yearning for human life. Therefore, clothes left outside at night will basically attract some ghosts, so remember to put away clothes in time during the ghost month.
6. Stay away from willow, locust, and pomegranate trees .<br /> Willow, locust, and pomegranate trees have a strong yin energy. Ghosts usually gather near these trees. If you get close to these trees, you are actually getting close to ghosts. Especially the willow trees by the river, which generally have more yin energy and should be kept away from. However, when you run by a river and there are willow trees by the river, you don’t need to take it too seriously, because people have sufficient yang energy when exercising, and you are not running against the willow trees. But if you really have the habit of running by the river, it is better to run earlier in the Ghost Month and not run by the river at night.
7. Don’t pick up money on the ground during the Ghost Month <br /> Actually, it’s not a matter of the Ghost Month. You should never pick up money on the ground when you see it, because you don’t know what the money is. If it is a magical tool, it may bring harm to you. In the Ghost Month, if you see money on the ground, you must be extremely careful. Legend has it that there are two possibilities. One is that ghosts use such money to buy lives - some ghosts with higher cultivation will use magic to take away the body of the person who picks up the money. Another possibility is that it is said that this is the money to buy a wife. If a girl picks up this money, the ghost may think that she agrees to be his wife, so the money on the ground in the ghost month is more terrifying.
8. Do not play the Pen Fairy game during the Ghost Month <br /> The Pen Fairy game itself attracts wandering ghosts, and playing this game during the Ghost Month is very harmful. There are also similar games about Chopstick Fairy, Bottle Fairy, and Ouchi Fairy. It is also said that during the Ghost Month, there are some taboos regarding mirrors. For example, do not let the mirrors in your home see firelight - especially candlelight, and do not look at the mirror alone on the night of the Ghost Month.
9. Don’t talk too much when you encounter or come across something bad in the ghost month <br /> Bad things here refer to accidentally seeing some accident scenes, or seeing beggars with very strange faces, or encountering incredible scenes. When encountering these situations, the best way is to walk away silently. Of course, if you have a compassionate heart, you can call the police and let them handle these matters. Then you can walk away quietly, and remember not to talk nonsense.
10. Try to reduce staying up late and working overtime <br /> In this special month of Ghost Month, individuals should reduce overtime work, especially female friends. During the Ghost Month, women's bodies are prone to fatigue because the yin energy in the entire world is generally stronger. Some girls may be physically weaker and more likely to attract evil spirits. During the Ghost Month, arrange your work reasonably and try to reduce overtime.
