What do you mean the ghost door opens in July and a half?

1. As the saying goes, "In July and a half, the gate of hell opens". As soon as we step into July, the gate of hell will be wide open, and wandering ghosts will wander around the world for a period of time and accept people's sacrifices. Ghost Festival will not end until July 30th, when the gate of hell is closed again.

2. Local officials are divine officials in charge of hell, and it is natural for local officials to atone. It is said that on July 15, the gate of hell in the underworld was wide open, and all ghosts could leave the underworld and go to earth. Ghosts with owners go home, and ghosts without owners wander around the world looking for food. Therefore, there is a saying that "in July and a half, ghosts open and go around", so July 15th is also called Ghost Festival.
