Can I go out on the second day of the 2020 Ghost Festival? Detailed explanation of 23 taboos when going out during the Ghost Festival in July
When I was a child, I often heard the older generation say that the gates of hell open on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, so you must not run around on this day, especially at night. So, can we go out on the second day of the 2020 Ghost Festival? Taboos: The following taboos are left by our ancestors. It is better to believe them than not to believe them. July has beautiful names such as Qiao Yue, Gua Yue, Orchid Autumn, Zhao Qiu, Xin Qiu, Shou Qiu, Xiang Yue, Meng Qiu and Chu Qiu. If you want to know more about the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2020, please follow Mr. Shui Mo’s website!Can I go out on the second day of the 2020 Ghost Festival?July 16, 2020 (Lunar calendar)September 3, 2020, Thursday, Virgo (solar calendar) 【Today’s lunar calendar is suitable】 Offering sacrifices, removing the body, bathing, haircut, trimming hands and feet, coffining, moving the coffin, breaking the ground, burying, house cleaning [taboos in the old almanac today] Marry, meet relatives and friends, move in , move out, take up a post, build a stove ——According to the old almanac, this day is not suitable for travel, so it is not recommended to travel far on this day! 23 taboos for going out during the Ghost Festival in July1. Hang a wind chime at the head of the bedThe sound of wind chimes is very special and many people like it. Brother Gui also likes this sound. Legend has it that if you hang a wind chime at the head of your bed, it will easily attract good brothers, and by the way, he will not be able to help but do something when he sees you sleeping. 2. Do not travel at night People with a weak destiny should never go out at night on Ghost Festival, because on this day the gates of hell are wide open and ghosts come out to wander. If they see you with your heavy yin energy, they may mistake you for a companion and invite you to their home. 3. Do not burn paper money for the dead in non-specific occasions Ghost paper is burned for good brothers, gold paper is burned for gods. On the day of Ghost Festival, most people will burn some paper money for good brothers who pass by in advance, and then wait until the next day to clean up the mess. Therefore, the result of burning ghost paper will only attract more good brothers, who will usually agree to the same time and place. Never burn ghost paper at non-specific occasions and times. 4. Do not steal the offerings On the day of Ghost Festival, people will prepare some offerings for the ghost brothers. Therefore, these are foods belonging to good brothers. If they are used without their consent, they will only bring difficult-to-solve misfortunes to themselves. 5. Don’t dry clothes at night It is best not to hang clothes outside on the night of Ghost Festival, because if a good friend thinks your clothes are nice, he will borrow them to wear and leave his scent on the clothes. 6. Don’t shout names If you have to go out on the night of Ghost Festival, be careful. When you are out at night, do not call out your name. Try to use code names to avoid your good friends remembering your name. 7. Do not swim It is taboo to go into water on Ghost Festival, because your good brothers will play the game of "ghost lifting feet" with you. If you are not careful, your life will be carried away. 8. Don’t look around As the saying goes, if people don't offend ghosts, ghosts won't offend people either. It's a rare opportunity for them to come out, so they are naturally very excited. 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 door In Bagua paranormal science, the banyan tree is a plant that gathers yin and is also the favorite of good brothers. Unless you want good brothers to come to your house to visit, it is best not to place a banyan tree at the door of your house. 10. Don’t stay up late The time when human vitality is weakest is late at night, and the time when ghosts are strongest is also late at night, especially on the day of the Ghost Festival. 11. Don’t lean against the wall Good brothers usually like to rest on the cold wall, which can easily attract ghosts. 12. Don’t 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. Don’t look back easily When you are walking in the wilderness or a sparsely populated area and you feel someone calling you, don't look back easily, because that person may be a good brother. 14. Don’t put your arm around someone’s shoulders There are three fires on 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 the good brothers to take over. 15. Do not point your slippers towards 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. Do not stick chopsticks in the middle of rice This is a form of worship, just like inserting incense into an incense burner. This will only attract good brothers to share food with you, which is especially taboo on this day. 17. Don’t be alone A person is likely to attract the covetousness of a good brother, because he will feel that you are alone like him, and it would be better if you could be his companion. 18. Don’t take photos at night This action can easily include friends from the spirit world in the photo and then bring them home. It is even more dangerous to take selfies in front of a mirror at home on Ghost Festival, because there is a high possibility that the ghost brothers will come out of the mirror. 19. Don’t play with Ouija It is easy for something to go wrong when playing with the Ouija board at normal times, let alone during the Ghost Festival. 20. Don’t put your slippers neatly beside the bed. If you are traveling, do not place your slippers neatly next to the bed, as this will attract the curiosity of friends in the spirit world and cause sleep paralysis, especially on Ghost Festival. 21. Don’t whistle The sounds of whistles and bells are the same to the ghost brothers, and when they hear such sounds they usually think that their companions are calling them. And if the person he sees at the end is a complete stranger like you, he will easily get angry, and then... 22. Avoid sleeping with disheveled hair During the Ghost Month, there are wandering ghosts everywhere. If you have disheveled hair, be careful that they may mistake you for one of their own and try to get you up to chat. 23. Do not step on the paper money Ghost paper is a sacrifice to ghosts. When it is burned, ghosts will gather nearby to pick it up. If you step on or jump around while burning ghost paper, it will hinder their movements. The ghosts will be angry and will naturally do something bad to you. |
