Come and follow Mr. Shui Mo's website to learn about every day of the seventh lunar month in 2019!How is the 2019 Ghost Festival?July 15, 2019 (Lunar calendar)August 15, 2019, Thursday, Leo (Gregorian calendar) 【Today’s lunar calendar is suitable】 Getting married, traveling, taking up a post, repairing graves, recruiting sons-in-law, offering sacrifices, fasting and offering sacrifices, granting amnesty, coming of age, attending school, seeking employment [Today’s taboos in the almanac] Meridians enter the house, build, start ground, buy property, break ground, build embankments, release water, accept marriage proposals, pray for blessings, seek offspring, ship goods, raise beams, erect pillars, bury, start drilling, lift migration, settle incense, and travel by boat According to the old almanac, there are many taboos on the Ghost Festival in 2019, so this day is not considered an auspicious day. Are there any taboos during the Ghost Festival?Taboos of the Chinese Ghost Festival: It is generally believed that July 15th is the actual day of the Ghost Festival, and it is also the day when the gates of hell are wide open. The yin energy is the heaviest at this time, so there are many taboos.1. Avoid bringing red ropes, bells, wind chimes and other ghost-attracting objects, and try to avoid going out . If you encounter supernatural events such as being possessed by a ghost or being trapped in a wall by a ghost, don't panic. Concentrate all your attention and open your eyes. 2. Do not hang wind chimes at the head of the bed. Wind chimes can easily attract ghosts, and sleeping is the time when they are most likely to be "invaded". 3. Do not travel at night. During the Ghost Festival, hundreds of ghosts roam at night. People with weak horoscopes should never wander at night, otherwise they will be targeted by the night-walking ghosts. 4. Do not burn paper money unless in a specific occasion. Ghost paper is burned for ghosts, and gold paper is burned for gods. Burning ghost paper will only attract more ghosts. 5. Do not steal the offerings. These are foods belonging to ghosts. Using them without their consent will only bring yourself difficult-to-solve misfortunes. 6. Don’t call out names . When walking at night, never call out names. Try to use code names to avoid trouble if the ghost remembers your name. 7. Do not swim. At this time, the ghost will play the game of lifting its foot with you. If you are not careful... your life will be taken away! 8. Don’t look around randomly. Ghosts like to hide and scare people. If you get scared by looking around, that's the best time for them to invade you. 9. Don’t lean against the wall. Ghosts usually like to rest on cold walls, and this can easily lead to possession by the ghost. 10. Don’t pick up money on the street. Usually, the old people say that you should not pick up money on the roadside casually, as it will bring bad luck. Especially during the Ghost Festival, you must not pick them up, otherwise ghosts will haunt you. 11. Don’t look back easily. When you are walking in the wilderness or a sparsely populated area and feel as if someone is calling you, do not look back easily, as it may be a ghost calling you. 12. Don’t put your arms around others’ shoulders anywhere. There are three fires on a person's body, one on the top of the head and one on each shoulder. If you extinguish one of them, you will easily be possessed by a ghost. 13. Do not point the toes of your slippers towards the bed. Ghosts will look at the direction of the toes of the shoes to determine where the living person is. If the toes of the shoes are placed towards the head of the bed, it is easy for ghosts to come onto the bed. 14. Do not stick chopsticks in the middle of rice. People often believe that sticking chopsticks in the middle of rice is unlucky, just like sticking incense in an incense burner, which will only attract ghosts. 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 you can grasp is your own "luck." Unexpected changes in the world may happen at any time. Use Mr. Shui Mo's exquisite calculation function to learn more about your fortune in 2019! |
