It is said that July and a half coincides with the alternation of summer and autumn. At this point, it is precisely the node where yin and yang alternate between heaven and earth. Yang rises and falls, and Yin shows. On this day, the underground palace opens the gates of hell and releases ghosts, so the activities of offering sacrifices to ghosts are generally carried out. Later generations also said that the whole lunar July should be "Ghost Festival". On the first day of the seventh lunar month, the prince of Yan opened the gate of hell, released ghosts for the dead to eat and enjoyed people's offerings. On the last day of July, the ghost gate closed again, and the ghosts were going back to the underworld.
