Why do we worship our ancestors during the Ghost Festival?

On the day of the Ghost Festival, many people begin to worship their ancestors, so it is also called the "Mid-July" ancestor worship. At this time, midsummer has passed and the cool autumn has just begun.
People believe that their ancestors will return home to visit their descendants at this time, so they need to worship their ancestors. The worship ceremony is usually held in the evening, limited to the 15th day of July.
During the "Mid-July" ancestor worship, the tablets of the ancestors are taken out one by one and placed respectfully on an altar specially used for worship. Incense is then burned in front of each ancestor's tablet until they are returned on July 30.
When sending the body back, paper money and clothes will be burned, or the temple will also hold rituals to pray for the souls to be reborn.
In some areas of Jiangxi and Hunan, although both are sacrificial festivals, the Zhongyuan Festival is more important than the Qingming Festival or the Double Ninth Festival. Customs of the Zhongyuan Festival in Shanxi:
Scholars in Yonghe County offer sacrifices to Kuixing on this day. Shepherds in Changzi County slaughter sheep to worship gods during the Ghost Festival. It is said that this can increase sheep production.
Meat was also given as gifts to relatives. Those who were poor and could not afford sheep would steam noodles in the shape of sheep instead. Farmers in Yangcheng County use wheat crumbs to make shapes of cats, tigers and grains and hold sacrifices in the fields, which is called "xingtian".
During the Ghost Festival, people in Mayi County make children's shapes out of wheat flour, called "mianren", and give them to each other's relatives' children. Farmers in Xin County hang colorful paper on the stalks of the fields during the Ghost Festival.
