Therefore, it is not good to get married on this day.Why can't you get married during the Ghost Festival?The Zhongyuan Festival is a ghost festival, a festival to worship ghosts and save the dead. In the southern Fujian region, the Zhongyuan Festival is a grand and lively folk festival second only to the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival. The Zhongyuan Festival in each village is different, and the date is mostly chosen by the older generation. Although the festival dates are different, they are collectively called "Zhongyuan Festival" or "Pudu". Pudu is a mixture of Buddhism and Taoism. It is another name for the Buddhist Ullambana Festival and a variation of the Taoist Zhongyuan Festival. It is said that every year during the Ghost Festival, the King of Hell will open the gates of hell and release the homeless ghosts in hell to enjoy the offerings from the world of the living, and take back the money and supplies they need for life in hell. Until the 30th day of the seventh lunar month, when ghosts are at their gates, every household performs the "Wei Zhongyuan" ritual to send away ghosts. Therefore, the month of the Ghost Festival is a month when hundreds of ghosts roam at night and it is a month prone to disasters, which is not suitable for celebrations. Therefore, many people hold the mentality of not getting married, celebrating birthdays, moving to new houses, or holding any other festive events in the seventh month of the lunar calendar. |
