It is called Guitou Day by the people. It is a traditional sacrificial festival in my country and is said to have originated in the Zhou Dynasty. On this day, special emphasis is placed on commemorating the deceased, which is called sending winter clothes. The Cold Clothes Festival, along with the Qingming Festival and Shangsi Festival in spring and the Zhongyuan Festival in autumn, are known as the four major "ghost festivals" of the year. What are the taboos to pay attention to during the Cold Clothes Festival?Taboo 1 <br /> People who are not in good health should not go to the cemetery; the elderly and children should not go to the cemetery; if you encounter something unpleasant on the road, do not go to the cemetery; do not go to the cemetery after dark; do not laugh or play games in the cemetery; do not say disrespectful words in the cemetery; do not relieve yourself in the cemetery; do not look back when leaving.Taboo 2 <br /> All clothes and paper money sent to the deceased must be burned and completely burned. Only in this way can these papers in the living world be transformed into silk, cloth, money, houses, etc. in the underworld. As long as there is one thing left unfinished, all previous efforts will be wasted and the person leaving cannot use it. Taboo 3 <br /> On the day of Cold Clothes Festival, women are forbidden to go out. Women have a cold constitution and need to pay special attention. Taboo 4 <br /> Don’t hang wind chimes at the head of the bed. Even if they have been hung there before, they should be taken down on the Cold Clothes Festival. Because wind chimes are objects that easily attract ghosts, and people are most likely to be invaded by ghosts when they are sleeping. Taboo 5 <br /> Don’t burn ghost paper in non-specific occasions. Ghost paper has been burned for good brothers since ancient times. Burning ghost paper in non-specific occasions will easily attract more good brothers. (The good brothers here refer to ghosts) Taboo 6 <br /> Don’t hang clothes outside at night, because if you hang clothes outside at night, ghosts will think your clothes are nice and will borrow them to wear. Then the clothes will be left with their scent, which will bring bad luck to you. Taboo 7 <br /> Don’t look back easily at night, because when you are walking on the road, especially in the wilderness, it is easy to attract ghosts. At this time, you are alone. If someone calls you and you look back without any precautions, then the person calling you is undoubtedly a ghost. After all, the Cold Clothes Festival is one of the ghost festivals, and it is the day when ghosts are most active in the human world.
