What are the taboos for going to the hospital on the first day of August?

Taboo is the day when the gate of hell opens. In the traditional culture of China, the first day of August is considered as the day when ghosts open their doors, so some people choose to avoid doing important things on this day, including going to the hospital. Every year on the first day of the eighth lunar month, the gates of hell are wide open, and ghosts from the underworld will come to the world to look for relatives and friends. This legend has a long history and has been passed down to this day, which has become one of the important reasons why people hold sacrifices and commemorative activities on this day. According to legend, the gate of hell is wide open from July 15th to August 15th. During this time, the door of Yin and Yang will be opened, and ghosts can enter and leave the world freely. Therefore, people will carry out various ceremonies and sacrifices during this period, hoping to appease ghosts and prevent them from harming human beings.
