What festivals in China are related to ghosts? Why?

The most unforgettable thing is the Spring Festival. It is said that Nian is a monster, and by the end of the year, it will come out to do evil and endanger the people. But it is afraid of firecrackers and the sound of beating gongs and drums, and it is also afraid of seeing red. Because on New Year's Day, every household has to put up red couplets at the door, hang red lanterns and set off firecrackers everywhere, and people put on new red clothes on New Year's Day. In this way, Nian was scared away and did not dare to do bad things.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is also a festival related to ghosts. Although it is said that it is Tomb-Sweeping Day, he worships his ancestors and worships God. But subconsciously, I still feel that my ancestors have died and become ghosts. I bought some paper flowers and put them in the grave, and brought some offerings to show my respect.

The most obvious is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which has a more direct name called Ghost Festival. In the early morning or evening, every family puts drinks and dishes at their doorsteps, burns paper money prepared in advance, and the whole family bows one by one to express their mourning and nostalgia for their ancestors. But to be honest, when I was a child, I was asked to bow by adults. What I want is that I bow so that they won't become ghosts to scare me, and they will help me drive away other evil spirits. I have to say that children's ideas are too simple.

In fact, like Qixi, it is a festival related to immortals; The Mid-Autumn Festival is also related to Chang 'e. I think many festivals in China are related to immortals and ghosts. Even in China, we are awed by these things from the bottom of our bones, and we always believe that. Just like our classical myths, mountain and sea classics, the list of gods on the journey to the west and so on. They are all fine products, full of ghosts, but they have become something that people love to see and hear. Visible, what monster, in the eyes of China people, can be regarded as the hidden existence power in life!
