Can I go out on Qingming Festival night? Qingming Festival is one of China's traditional festivals and an important festival for worshipping ancestors. Next, let’s take a look at what is said about going out on Qingming Festival night.

Can I go out on Qingming Festival night?

From the perspective of folk legends, you cannot go out on the night of Qingming Festival. Even if you have to go out for something, you should go home early and not wander around the streets. Because Qingming Festival is the day to worship ancestors and ghosts, it is also one of China's ghost festivals. It is said that the gates of hell are opened on this night, and ghosts with owners will go back to visit their families, while ghosts without owners will walk around the streets. Therefore, the nights during this period are when the yin energy is the heaviest, so it is better to go out as little as possible, especially for people with weak yang energy, otherwise it is easy to see unclean things. Moreover, from a realistic perspective, winter has just passed during the Qingming Festival, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large. It is also very cold and yin at night, so it is better to go to bed early and get up early during this season.
