Note 1: It is customary for people to worship their ancestors on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. People believe that their ancestors will return home to visit their descendants at this time, so they need to burn paper money to worship their ancestors. The worship ceremony is generally based on local customs and habits, and there are no specific requirements. This month, it is recommended that everyone avoid going to cemeteries or remote wilderness areas without reason to avoid attracting evil spirits, especially children. If you want to burn paper money at the grave, it is not recommended to bring children along.
Note 2: On the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, we remind everyone to go home early at night, especially not to walk at night. If you must walk at night, it is recommended that you travel with a few more people. Especially for friends who like taking photos, it is recommended that you do not take photos on this night, otherwise you may take photos of unlucky things.
Note three: Ghost paper is a sacrifice to ghosts. When it is burned, ghosts will gather nearby to pick it up. If you step on or jump around while burning ghost paper, it will inevitably hinder their movements. The ghosts will be angry and will naturally do something bad to you. At the same time, if you see paper money, coins, etc. on the roadside, do not step on or pick them up.
Note 4: If you dream about your deceased relatives on this day, don’t be too nervous. This is a normal phenomenon. It’s just that you miss your relatives too much.
Note 5: Clothes hung outside on the balcony, especially children’s clothes, should best be taken back before the sun sets in the afternoon (around 4 p.m.) to avoid being possessed by ghosts or borrowed to wear.
Note 6: The 15th day of the seventh lunar month is a day with heavier yin energy. Therefore, people with weaker yang energy on this day do not need to be afraid if they see things they should not see. They can constantly recite "Om Ma Ni Padme Hum" in their mouths, or try to stay at home as little as possible.
Note 7: Unless there is a special need, avoid playing near rivers or lakes, or other remote places with few people, especially children. If a child suddenly feels unwell, such as having a fever or headache, he or she needs to seek medical attention in time or ask a professional for help.
Note 8: If you encounter supernatural events such as being possessed by a ghost or being haunted by a ghost, do not panic. Focus all your attention, open your eyes, and silently recite "Om, Ma, Ni, Padme Hum" several times. You can also leave a light on in the room before going to bed to avoid being too scared.
