Want to know more about the dates in the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2018? Please pay attention to our Fortune Teller website’s special topic for the seventh month of the lunar calendar!When is the Ghost Festival in 2018?Gregorian calendar: Saturday, August 25, 2018 Lunar calendar: July 15, 2018 Festival: Ghost Festival The 15th day of the seventh lunar month every year is my country's Ghost Festival. The Ghost Festival in 2018 is on August 25 of the Gregorian calendar. The Zhongyuan Festival is commonly known as the Ghost Festival, also called the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in Buddhism it is also known as the Yulanpen Festival. This day is the day when the gates of hell open wide and hundreds of ghosts roam the night.What are the taboos during the Ghost Festival?1. Avoid going out at night, because ghosts are active at night. During the Ghost Festival, people with weak horoscopes should not go out alone at night to prevent being mistaken for the same kind by ghosts. 2. Avoid swimming. Land is yang and water is yin. In contrast, ghosts prefer to be in water. Swimming during the Ghost Festival can easily attract the teasing of ghosts. They will play the game of "ghost lifting feet" with you, and you may be carried away by them if you are not careful. 3. Avoid stealing offerings. The Ghost Festival is a day to offer sacrifices to ancestors and to lonely ghosts that have no one to worship them. The offerings are food that belongs exclusively to them. If they are eaten secretly or the offerings are incomplete due to other factors, the ghosts will regard it as disrespectful to them and will punish the family. 4. Avoid burning paper randomly. Burning paper randomly on the roadside will attract many ghosts to fight for it and bring disaster. Therefore, people usually burn ghost paper at specific times and places, and must never burn ghost paper at random in non-specific occasions. |
