What day is July tenth?

1 and July 10 are one of the traditional festivals in China-Ghost Festival. When I was very young in my hometown, I heard that "in July and a half, ghosts were in chaos."

On this day, everyone should go home early so as not to encounter ghosts when walking at night. But in fact, this day is even worse.

It is mainly a festival to commemorate ancestors. Unlike Tomb-Sweeping Day, Tomb-Sweeping Day goes to the grave, and in July and a half, ghosts go home.

2. According to my hometown legend, July 10 to 15 every year is the day when the deceased relatives go home to visit relatives. During this time, all the ghosts.

Let it go. Therefore, every year, just after the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, every household begins to get busy and go to the market to buy paper.

Clothes, money paper, candles, incense, prepare offerings (usually delicious), and then eat them every day.

Prepare bowls and chopsticks for ancestors when eating, and invite ancestors to enjoy them before eating.
