When is the ghost festival in the lunar calendar?

The three major ghost festivals in the China lunar calendar are:

Mid-Autumn Festival (July 15th in the summer calendar)

Shangsi Festival (the third day of March in the summer calendar)

Cold clothing festival (the first day of October in the summer calendar)

Mid-Autumn Festival:

Mid-Autumn Festival, commonly known as Ghost Festival, Shigu Festival and July 30, is called Bonin Festival in Buddhism. New Year's Eve, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Chung Yeung Festival are traditional festivals for ancestor worship in China, as well as traditional cultural festivals popular in various countries in the Chinese character cultural circle. The Mid-Autumn Festival has the custom of setting off river lanterns and burning paper ingots.

Shangsi Festival:

Shangsi Festival, commonly known as March 3rd, is a traditional festival of the Han nationality. This festival was designated as the fourth day of March before the Han Dynasty, and was later fixed on the third day of March in the summer calendar. The traditional Shangsi Festival is on the fourth day of the third lunar month, which is also a day of infancy, that is, spring bath day. Shangsi Festival, like Flower Festival, is gradually being forgotten by people.

Cold clothing festival:

The Cold Clothes Festival on the first day of October in the lunar calendar, also known as "October Dynasty", "Ancestor Festival" and "Ghost Festival", is a traditional sacrifice festival of the Han nationality, which is said to have originated from the Zhou Dynasty. On this day, special attention is paid to paying homage to those who died first, which is called sending cold clothes. The chilly spring, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Shangsi Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are also called the four "ghost festivals" in a year. At the same time, this day also marks the arrival of severe winter, so it is also a day for parents and lovers to send warm clothes to people they care about.
