What festival is July 15th?

July 15 is a rare day of "integration of three religions" in a year. In Confucianism or folk, this is the season when rice is ripe. The ancients worshipped their ancestors in the new valley, hoping to get their protection. The ancients believed that everything originated from where it came from and returned to where it came from. Death is a process of returning to its origin, so it is named "Guijie". Finally, it is called "Ghost Festival". Strictly speaking, it should be called "ancestor worship festival"

It is called Boning Festival in Buddhism, which is a famous traditional festival in Buddhism. "Magnolia", transliterated in Sanskrit as "uIIambana", means "upside down", and upside down means upside down. Everyone who has hung upside down knows the dizzy pain, which is used to describe the tragic state of hungry ghosts. "Hanging upside down" means saving those hungry ghosts; "Pot" refers to sacrificial vessels.

July is the month of filial piety in Buddhism, the month of practicing and becoming a monk. In India, April-July is the rainy season. There are bugs crawling around everywhere, and monks are easily stepped on when they travel. In order not to injure bugs by accident, the Buddha asked all monks to retreat and meditate from April 15 to July 15 (the lunar calendar), which is called "summer break", so July is the practice month; Manglietia was originally one of the ten disciples under the Buddha's throne. His real name is Mu Lian, and he is called "the first magic power". The story is the same as that in the movie "Manglietia". After her death, her mother fell into the hell of a hungry ghost because she loved to eat fish eggs, killed animals at will and didn't respect Buddha. Mu Lian's use of magical powers to help her was ineffective, and the Buddha turned to Mu Lian for help. The Buddha told Mulian that on the last day of Xia Anzhu's end, that is, July and a half, Mulian would prepare vegetarian food to support all the monks and arhat bodhisattvas, and then everyone would "strive" to bring Mulian's mother. This day (July 15) is very happy for everyone, so it is called "Buddha's Happy Day" and "Orchid Festival", and because Manglietia has provided support for gods, Buddhists and monks, it has become a feature of July, so it is called "Monks' Month", and because Manglietia is sincere and filial to her mother, it is called "Filial Month".

Taoism has evolved from the primitive worship of heaven, earth and water into three personified emperors: Yao Di, a heavenly official, Shun Di, a local official, and Yu Di, a water official, and three "senior immortals", so there are Lantern Festival gods who bless the people, and local officials forgive sins on the Mid-Yuan Festival (July 30th) and water officials release them on the Next Yuan Festival (10/5). Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a folk family sacrifice, and there are a series of custom activities represented by "river lanterns" to pray for it. Mr. Lu You's "Julian Waghann will set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family festival will not forget to tell the right man" is this day!
