Can new powder burn paper in July and a half?

July Festival, commonly known as Ghost Festival, is said to be the day when hell opens its doors. People choose this day (or 13, 14, 15) to pay homage to their ancestors.

This is a form of paying homage to the ancestors, and has nothing to do with the new grave. You can burn paper.

Of course, if it is a person who has just died, there is generally a saying that there are 100 days in the early days. According to legend, it is useless to burn paper in a cemetery if you don't go to hell within seven days after your death. One hundred days is the forbidden period for souls, which is equivalent to the time to go through all kinds of formalities in the underworld, and you are not allowed to walk around casually, so you don't have to burn paper in the cemetery.
