Taboo and discomfort of ghost month in July!

What is the "ghost month" in July?

On the first day of July every year, the ghost month is entered, that is, the gate of hell is opened. Every year from the beginning of July, Yan ordered the door of hell to be opened wide, so that ghosts and spirits who have suffered and been imprisoned in hell all the year round can get out of hell, get a short wandering and enjoy human blood. The gate of hell will not be closed until July 30. In such a month, it is usually considered unlucky. There will be no marriage, no ground breaking and relocation, etc.

? In order to make people and ghosts in the world of Yin and Yang safe, there has been a custom of worship since ancient times. People think that on the one hand, they can get rid of the suffering of hell as soon as possible, on the other hand, they hope that they will not harass the living people in the world. So usually, we will see many people burn paper bags and coins on the roadside to make a fortune. The first day of Ghost Month is the first day of July, and the fifteenth day of Ghost Month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, Ghost Festival. Anyone whose family recently died will go to the new cemetery. In the whole ghost festival, only July 15 is one of the biggest ghost festivals in China, and it is also a day when the gates of hell are wide open.

"Ghost Moon" taboo

Because the ghost moon is full of yin qi, you must not walk in the street that night, let alone take the children to walk at night. On the evening of July 15, ghosts and gods meet, and yin is the most abundant. The last day of Ghost Month is July 30th, which is the day when ghosts return to hell. What taboos should we have in July! ! ! For example; People with light personality should try not to walk at night, or they will ask for trouble. There is also a lot of attention to burning paper money, and you can't burn it at will; You can't hang clothes outside at night, otherwise they will be borrowed and leave a bad smell. Don't take pictures at night, it will attract them to take pictures together; Don't whistle at night, it will attract them to play with you; Don't pick up money from the roadside at will. The money is used to buy cow's head and horse's face. If you infringe on their things, you will be taught a lesson by them. . Wait, many taboos! Of course, in this month, there will be some symptoms of ghosts and possessed. If you see some people burning ingots at the crossroads at night, if you see them burning things again, don't make any noise. Walk quietly.

1, I can't cry in the middle of the night

It doesn't matter if you want to cry in broad daylight, but you'd better not cry at night. It is said that crying in the middle of the night, some ghosts will think you are calling them, and they will come to you involuntarily.

2. You can't go to remote places at night.

In the ghost month, Yin Qi itself is heavier. If you go to some remote places at night, some bad things will easily happen. Especially for girls, it is even more dangerous if they are in the physiological period. In other words, even if it's not a ghost month, girls themselves are the weaker side, which is very dangerous outside.

Don't pat others on the shoulder.

Legend has it that everyone has a yang fire on his shoulder. If he slaps his shoulder at will, it is easy to cause the yang fire to go out. If he is weak, he will be more dangerous and vulnerable to ghosts.
