What are the taboos of the Ghost Festival? What should we pay attention to during the Ghost Festival? The annual Zhongyuan Festival is coming soon. Zhongyuan Festival is also called Ghost Festival and falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. It is said that this day is the day when the gates of hell are wide open, so there are many things to pay attention to on that day.

What are the taboos during the Zhongyuan Festival?

Must worship ancestors

July 15th is a traditional festival for ancestor worship. In addition to worshipping their own ancestors, people often prepare more food and offerings for the wandering ghosts. In order to prevent your ancestors from becoming wandering souls with no one to worship them, you must remember to worship them.

Do not take photos on that day

The Zhongyuan Festival ancestor worship is not just about commemorating ancestors, but it also clearly carries the meaning of worshiping and praying to the dead souls. During the Ghost Festival, it is best not to take photos at night. This is not only disrespectful to the ancestors, but also makes it easy to take photos of inauspicious things.
