Therefore, people generally carry out activities to worship ghosts on this day, such as visiting graves, burning incense, and burning paper. If you burn paper, burn incense, or visit graves in advance, the ghosts of your relatives have not yet returned to the world of the living, and will not be able to receive your kindness. Therefore, as a general rule, you should not visit graves, burn incense, or burn paper in advance on the Ghost Festival .What can’t you do during the Ghost Festival?1: Don’t wear red underwear, because there are many rituals in this month. Underwear is the second layer of skin of the human body. Red is connected with the spirit world, so it can prevent ghosts and evil spirits from haunting you. Don’t wear red clothes at night.2: In addition, avoid visiting the sick or the dead if possible, and avoid going to hospitals, cemeteries and other places with heavy negative energy; 3: It is best to avoid swimming in rivers and seas; avoid walking alone in secluded places, go with other people; and try not to go out at night; 4: Green plants are yin, so lovers should not stay under them for too long at night. Please do not wear hats or sunglasses to cover your eyes at night; 5: You must not play with things like Diexian and Bixian, as it will be very dangerous this month; 6: Those who are destined to receive the Buddha's gift can also wear the instruments of consecration, chant the Buddha's name, and read the scriptures. A string of Buddha beads in hand can ward off many unnecessary troubles. If you have a jade Buddha or jade Guanyin at home, please wear it with you. 7: Don’t call people by their names, pat their shoulders, or whistle at night; 8: Do not hang wind chimes indoors. When passing by a funeral site, do not have any disrespectful thoughts or words in your mind. Avoid stepping on or burning paper money. Be respectful to the deceased. 9: Place slippers neatly beside the bed. When traveling, placing slippers neatly beside the bed will attract the curiosity of friends in the spirit world and cause sleep paralysis, especially on the Ghost Festival. 10: Being alone is likely to attract the covetousness of ghost brothers, because they will think that you are alone like them, and it would be better if you could have company. |
