In some places, it is commonly known as the "Ghost Festival", "Shigu Festival", also known as the Dead Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival. "Ghost Festival", commonly known as "Mid-July" (in some areas it is the 13th or 14th). It is said that the deceased ancestors are released by the King of Hell for half a month at the beginning of July, so there is a custom of welcoming the ancestors at the beginning of July and sending them off at the middle of July. When sending off the ancestors, a lot of paper money and other ghostly offerings are burned so that the "ancestors can enjoy them". At the same time, money and paper are put into a paper envelope with the name of the beneficiary written on it and burned during the sacrifice, which is called "burning the envelope". For those who passed away within this year, new dumplings are burned with great fanfare; for those who passed away more than a year ago, old dumplings are burned. No matter rich or poor, people have to prepare food and wine and paper money to commemorate the deceased to show their remembrance of their ancestors. The Ghost Festival usually lasts seven days, and there is a distinction between the newly deceased and the old deceased. Those who died within three years are called new deceased, and those who died more than three years ago are called old deceased. Superstition says that the new and old deceased will return home during this period, and that the time they return is not the same, with the new deceased returning first and the old deceased returning later. Therefore, we need to hold memorial ceremonies for them separately. The time to burn paper money is chosen at night when it is quiet. First, sprinkle a few circles of lime in the yard. It is said that by burning the paper money in the circles, ghosts will not dare to grab it. Then burn it in piles, and while burning it, keep chanting: "So-and-so is here to collect the money." Finally, burn a pile outside the circle, saying that it is burned for the ghosts. On the day when the deceased pass away, everyone, regardless of their wealth, must prepare a good meal to honor the deceased, which is also called "seeing off the deceased." When is Ghost Festival?The Ghost Festival on July 15 is also known as the Ghost Festival. In fact, from the first day to the 30th day of the seventh lunar month, the gates of hell are wide open. Folk customs believe that during this period of time there will be many lonely souls wandering in the world of the living. The Ghost Festival is a day that the Chinese people attach great importance to. Every year, many grand ceremonies of general salvation and worship are held during the Ghost Festival. This Ghost Festival is also the largest and most expensive of the many Chinese festivals. The Zhongyuan Festival is also known as the "Yulan Festival" in Buddhism. |
