The Mid-Autumn Festival is on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, commonly known as July and a half. Legend has it that all the ghosts were released to the underworld on that day, and people usually carry out activities to sacrifice ghosts. Where there is a new funeral, people will go to the new grave, but generally they will sacrifice to ghosts and gods in the local area. Therefore, it is a festival centered on the worship of ghosts and gods, and it has become the largest folk ghost festival in China.
