What is the Ghost Festival?

The Ghost Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Fourteenth Day of the Seventh Month, the Ancestor Worship Festival, the Ullambana Festival, and the Earth God Festival. The main festival customs include worshiping ancestors, releasing river lanterns, worshiping the dead, burning paper ingots, and worshiping the land.
In the folk customs, "Mid-July" is a traditional cultural festival to commemorate ancestors. Its cultural core is to respect ancestors, be filial and not forget one's roots. In Buddhism, July is also known as the "Happy Month", "Buddha's Happy Day", "Auspicious Month" and "Moon of Repaying Gratitude". Buddhism and Taoism have different interpretations of the meaning of this festival. Taoism emphasizes filial piety; Buddhism focuses on "salvation" for the homeless souls released from the underworld. The later "Mid-July" customs can be said to be a fusion of secularism, Taoism and Buddhism.

As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing one can control is his or her "luck." There are unexpected changes in the world, and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any time. Do you want to know when your good luck will come?
