Why do you have to kill ducks on July 14 (Ghost Festival)?

Some people say that eating ducks on July 14th is mainly because there is no place to eat without ducks. How can there be no decent ancestor worship activities on such a big day as July 14?

The old man said: When you worship your ancestors, you should use ducks to carry paper money and clothes across Naihe Bridge, so you must eat ducks on Halloween. For a long time, eating ducks has become an indispensable program of "Ghost Festival".

This festival originated from the early "July and a half" autumn harvest to worship ancestors. The appearance of "July and a half" can be traced back to ancestor worship and harvest festival in ancient times.

In ancient times, people usually relied on the blessing of the gods to obtain a bumper harvest in agriculture. Worship ancestors in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but the "autumn flavor" in early autumn is very important.

Autumn is the harvest season. People hold ceremonies to offer sacrifices to ancestors' souls, first offering the best seasonal products to the gods, and then tasting the fruits of their labor themselves, hoping for a good harvest in the coming year.
