Why did Guangxi celebrate the "Ghost Festival" one day earlier?
As for the theory of "wild ghosts", it is purely feudal superstition nonsense. There are reasons for this: the Zhuang area is located in the subtropical zone, and the rainy season is in July of the lunar calendar every year, which often causes flash floods, so people often fall off the mountain and drown; The theory of "wild ghosts" actually warns people (especially reckless teenagers) not to play near mountains and rivers, so as not to cause accidents.
The younger generation of Guangxi people should be very curious. The "Ghost Festival" in Guangxi is not celebrated on July 15th, but on July 14th. Why a day earlier? There is a legend here: In the past, Guangxi people also celebrated festivals on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. At the end of the Song Dynasty, there was a war in the south, and the people of Guangxi were preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. When they heard that the Yuan army had attacked Lingnan on a large scale, they had to mention celebrating the festival the day before to avoid war. Later, it continued.
Some places in Guangxi will regard Ghost Festival as a major festival. Wuming, Yongning and other places generally default that the two days before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival basically belong to the category of Ghost Festival. People in Guangxi celebrate "Ghost Festival", which means that they seldom go out, swim or do other business activities. In the afternoon, the shops in the street closed early. "Ghost Festival" gives people a good excuse to be lazy, and the living have a reason to overeat.
