However, due to the customs of the Zhongyuan Festival, happy events are generally not arranged on this day. The meaning of the Zhongyuan Festival is to commemorate ancestors and miss relatives. It is a festival related to the dead. Happy events conflict with the meaning of the Ghost Festival, so it is recommended not to obtain a marriage certificate on this day. The “Three Customs in One” of the Ghost Festival It is generally believed that the Zhongyuan Festival, also known as the "Yulanpen Festival" and the "Ghost Festival"; in fact, this understanding is a big misunderstanding. Strictly speaking, the July 14th Ancestor Worship Festival, the Zhongyuan Festival and the Yulan Festival belong to folk beliefs, Taoism and Buddhism respectively. The three are in a parallel relationship and are not three different names for the same festival. Since the rise of Taoism, the word "Zhongyuan" in the "Three Yuan Theory" was officially fixed as the name of the festival in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and the festival was set on July 15th. This festival is a combination of three customs. Some books say that a few days before the Ghost Festival, there are people selling funerary objects, fresh fruits, oil cakes, pie cakes, milk cakes and pastries on the market. The products are colorful and the sounds of hawking are endless. There is also the custom of placing lanterns on the water, which is meant to attract lonely ghosts in the water to enjoy sacrifices. Children were playing with paper lotus lanterns, some of which were seven or eight feet long and very eye-catching. There is an endless stream of people going outside the city to worship the graves, even more than during the Qingming Festival. |
