What are the top ten taboos that Ghost Moon can't do?

Introduction: Ghost Month is July of the lunar calendar every year. This month is a taboo month in people's minds, because there are many things that can't be done this month, otherwise it is easy to attract bad things. So, what can't Ghost Moon do? Here are the top ten taboos I brought. Let's go and have a look.

First, it is forbidden to go out at midnight.

"Don't go out at night" should be the common sense of July in the solar calendar. So, what should those night owls who like to find food in the middle of the night do with toothache? You can't lower the standard, just go to the convenience supermarket at the alley and buy something. Oh, this is very simple! Nowadays, online shopping is so convenient that we can prepare supper in advance and don't have to wait until late at night to find food. Ghost Moon, everyone can still eat delicious food.

Second, it is forbidden to stay up late.

In addition to not going out at night, you should go to bed early to replenish your vitality! Therefore, people who are used to being night owls should take the opportunity to recharge their batteries and avoid excessive energy consumption because of staying up late during this month. As for those insomniacs who lament the hard night, you can try to find some tips to help them sleep, such as using essential oil to relieve their emotions and help them sleep, or pressing rosis, Shenmen and Sanyinjiao more to help them sleep effectively.

Third, try to go to hospitals with heavy yin.

It is forbidden to go to the hospital in Ghost Month, because deaths often occur there, so the yin in this place of the hospital is also the heaviest, so it is necessary to reduce the number of visits in Ghost Month. However, sometimes I have to go to the hospital because of inevitable factors. It doesn't matter, as long as you eat more healthy food, adjust your physique and enhance your resistance within this month, you don't have to worry about going to the hospital to get sick.

Fourth, don't take pictures at night.

Haven't you seen the terrible photos of the "ghost in the mirror" that netizens are discussing? Do you want to take a photo of the "ghost in the mirror" in July of the solar calendar? The yin at night is naturally heavier than during the day. You take pictures in the dark, but it's easy to ask for bad luck.

Many camps or friends like to go out at night, so let's give up this idea during the ghost month.

5. Don't dry clothes in the middle of the night

who is it? Who will stay up late at night to dry clothes ~ 80% are night owls who don't know the taboos! (I have seen it ...)

There are two kinds of related rumors. First, the clothes hanging on the hanger are similar in shape to a person's figure, which is easy to cause a good brother to "upper body"; Second, a good brother who has been in the underworld for too long is in a bleak situation and will think of wearing some clothes to keep warm.

Don't walk against the wall.

Many people are used to walking against the wall, one for shade and the other for a sense of dependence ... but, do you know? The folklore "touching ghosts" likes to walk along the cold wall best. There are many chances to meet it during the ghost month, so when walking or resting, don't choose a place near the wall.

7. Don't go out to play with water at night.

Many camping teams or friends like to go out at night, which can enhance the tacit understanding and feelings between people, and can also exercise courage and accumulate cooperation experience in the process of "bold activities". Just don't be stupid enough to forget that July is a different month in the Gregorian calendar.

Those who want to play and dare can wait until after the ghost month. In addition, when night falls, try to stay away from the water as little as possible, so as not to increase the danger.

Eight, when being patted on the shoulder, never look back.

There are folk sayings such as "people have three fires" and "people have three lighting areas". The three fires (lights) mentioned in the custom are "naked flames" on a person's body, which are located on his forehead and shoulders respectively, and are where a person's essence, qi and spirit lie. Basically, as long as there are these three fires, evil spirits can't get close to you.

However, it is said that these three fires will weaken in the dark at night, so there will be rumors such as "Don't put on others' shoulders at night and help people wear hats". It is said that this will cover up people's naked flame and lead to evil spirits taking the opportunity to make trouble.

In addition, we often hear a saying: If someone calls your name when walking on the road at night, don't turn around casually or vigorously. We just need to turn around slowly, lest evil spirits deliberately let us put out our own open flames and bring bad luck.

Don't whistle or knock at the door in the middle of the night.

According to folklore, good brothers will think someone is calling if they hear people whistling or knocking at the door, so they will meet each other. So, don't you choose to keep quiet during the ghost month to avoid special attention? !

Ten, avoid ghost month to see a house to buy a house.

If you want to buy and sell a house, why are you in such a hurry to see and buy and sell a house when it is a ghost month? It is considered unlucky to buy and sell a house on a ghost month. In addition, it will be really miserable to attract new roommates you don't know when you move to a new home.

Ghost moon introduction

The seventh month of the lunar calendar is the "ghost moon" in China folklore. It is said that every year on the first day of the seventh lunar month, the gate of hell will be opened to release hungry ghosts, and it will not be closed until July 30. In order to make people and ghosts in the yin and yang world safe, our country has the custom of setting up Purdue in July since ancient times. Folk sacrifices are held on the first day, the second day, the fifteenth day and the last day of the ghost month in July. Ghost Moon also has many taboos, such as not wearing clothes with their own names, not patting others on the shoulder, not whistling, and children, the elderly and the infirm should not go out at night.

The origin of ghost moon

In ancient China, most people believed in ghosts and gods. Legend has it that anyone who dies normally can be reincarnated. People who die of the most heinous crimes become ghosts after death. These hungry orphans roam the world. Some evil spirits will also take the opportunity to harass the creatures in the world, causing people to die because of dangerous accidents. Therefore, people who die unexpectedly at this time of year are often called "taken away by ghosts" by their associations.

I believe that the "Purdue" ceremony held for these ghosts can help them get rid of the suffering of hell as soon as possible, and on the other hand, I hope they will stop harassing the creatures in the world. Therefore, every July, in addition to the "Purdue" ceremony, we will burn more paper on the roadside and make a fortune. Later, it evolved into the custom of "putting on lights" and "respecting brothers".

Because this kind of Purdue means praying for peace, on the Mid-Autumn Festival in July 15, in addition to offering rich sacrifices to all "good brothers", the people also invited the troupe to perform as a reward to God and hosted a banquet to entertain guests, which was expensive. Now we advocate saving and improving folk customs. Although there are Purdue activities, it is much streamlined.

The cultural custom that everything is unsuitable in July of the lunar calendar is formed because last July was a series of natural and man-made disasters, which easily made people feel afraid of this period. In today's society, many taboos have gradually failed to stand the test of the times, but there are still some things that science still cannot explain.
