Is there a holiday for the Ghost Festival?

The Ghost Festival is not a legal holiday. So there will be no holidays.
The Ghost Festival is the largest special festival in my country for people to remember and commemorate their deceased relatives and ancestors. On the day of the Ghost Festival and in the days before, there are many ceremonies to commemorate their deceased relatives and ancestors.
On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. It is the birthday of the legendary Earth God, so it is also called "Ghost Festival". On this day, Buddhists hold the "Yulan Basin" festival, offer food to monks, hold sutra-reciting ceremonies, and perform other religious activities such as water and land ceremonies and releasing river lanterns. China first established the "Yulanpen Fast" during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang (the first half of the sixth century). Due to the anti-feudal cultural struggle during the Cultural Revolution, the Ghost Festival was deleted from the traditional festivals. Nowadays, it is rare to see people setting up the "Yulanpen" ceremony, but the custom of releasing river lanterns is still passed down in some areas.

What should we pay attention to during the Ghost Festival?

1. Hang a wind chime at the head of the bed. Wind chimes easily attract good friends, and sleeping time is the time when they are most likely to be "invaded".
2. Night tour. People with weak horoscopes should never travel at night, otherwise they will only bring trouble to themselves.
3. Burning paper money in non-specific occasions. Ghost paper is burned for good brothers, gold paper is burned for gods, and the result of burning ghost paper will only attract more good brothers.
4. Stealing sacrificial offerings. These are foods that belong to good brothers. Using them without their consent will only bring yourself difficult-to-solve misfortunes.
5. Dry clothes at night. When a good friend thinks your clothes are nice, he will borrow them to wear and leave his scent on the clothes.
6. Call the name. When you are out at night, never call out your name. Try to use code names to avoid your good friends remembering your name.
7. Swimming. Do not play in dangerous waters. According to legend, "water ghosts" will look for someone to be their scapegoat so that they can be reincarnated.
8. Look around randomly. Good brothers like to hide and scare people. If you look around and get scared, that's the best time for them to invade you.
9. Place a banyan tree at the doorstep. Because the banyan tree is a shade-gathering plant, it is also the favorite of good brothers, unless you want good brothers to come to your home and visit.
10. Staying up late. The time when human energy is weakest is late at night, and the time when ghost energy is strongest is also late at night. Staying up late can easily lead to the invasion of negative energy.
11. Lean against the wall. Good brothers usually like to rest on the cold wall, which can easily attract ghosts.
12. Pick up money on the roadside. This money is used to bribe the Ox-Head and Horse-Face. If you infringe on their things, you will easily be taught a lesson by them.
13. Look back easily. When you are walking in the wilderness or a sparsely populated area, and you feel "as if" someone is calling you, don't look back easily, because that person may be a good brother.
14. You cannot put your arm around others’ shoulders anywhere. There are three fires in a person's body, one on the head and one on each shoulder. As long as one of them is extinguished, it is easy for him to be "possessed" by his good brothers.
15. The head of the slippers should face the direction of the bed. A good brother will look at the direction of the shoe toe to determine where the stranger is. If the shoe toe is facing the head of the bed, then the good brother will go to bed and sleep with you.
16. Insert the chopsticks in the center of the rice. This is a form of worship, just like sticking incense in an incense burner, this will only attract good brothers to share food with you...
17. Be alone. It is true that a person is likely to attract the covetousness of his good brothers.
18. Take photos at night. This action makes it easy to capture friends from the spirit world and bring them home.
19. Play with the Ouija board. It is easy for something to go wrong when playing with the Ouija board at normal times, let alone during the Ghost Festival.
20. Place the slippers neatly beside the bed. When traveling, if you place your slippers neatly by the bed, it will attract the curiosity of your friends in the spirit world and cause them to make a fuss in your bed.
