What are the taboos for Halloween?

The taboos for Halloween are as follows:

1, the forehead should be exposed: the forehead has the light of righteousness. Don't let your hair cover your forehead, or it will affect your luck, especially in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

2. Don't say the word "ghost": On the day of Purdue in the Central Plains, their nests were almost full of ghosts, especially the scene of Purdue Fa Conference, which was absolutely full of "ghosts". Therefore, when you are in Purdue, you'd better be careful what you say. Don't talk nonsense except the word "ghost". Be careful of ghosts around you!

3. Don't step on it: whether it's a sacrifice or something else, don't jump on it when it's burning, otherwise it won't hinder their actions. It's naturally bad for you if they are angry.

4, avoid washing clothes in the middle of the night: washed clothes are easy to let free waves stick to it because of humidity, and it is not easy to go out. Hanging clothes in the middle of the night is like setting a trap for catching ghosts in the ghost month where ghosts are everywhere. Who are you looking for?

5. Don't pat others on the shoulder in Mid-Autumn Festival: this taboo is related to folk customs. People think that everyone has three fires, which will make ghosts and others afraid to get close. Therefore, in Purdue, the Central Plains where ghosts are the most, you can pat others on the shoulder at will, just to put out the fire of the other party and let ghosts find trouble with him.

Ghost culture

The perfection and enrichment of Chinese ghost culture benefited from Buddhism and Taoism: Buddhism was introduced from India in the Han Dynasty and blended with Confucian culture and secular culture. The afterlife world (Buddhism is also called the underworld), that is, the world where ghosts live, is gradually established. The main building of Taoism is Yongdu City, which was demonstrated in Pingdu Mountain on the bank of the Yangtze River in eastern Sichuan.

The beautiful Pingdu Yamamoto is one of the 72 blessed places of Taoism. Both the king of the Western Han Dynasty and Yin Changsheng of the Eastern Han Dynasty practiced here and later became immortals. Fengdu changed from fairy to ghost, which is related to the surnames of two immortals. Wang He and Yin read Yin Wang backwards, thus becoming the "king of the underworld".

Coupled with the rendering of ghost novels such as Zhong Kui Biography, Fengdu was built into a gloomy ghost town, so there were the netherworld, the Gate of Hell, the Yin and Yang Pass, the Tian Zi Temple, the Impermanence Temple, the Town God Temple and other official places at all levels. Compared with the Taoist underworld, the Buddhist underworld is much more complete and systematic.

Buddhism has the so-called "Ten Realms", that is, there are ten realms in the world, namely, Buddha, Bodhisattva, Jue Yuan, Wensheng, Heaven, Man, Asura, beast, evil spirits and hell.

The first four are called "four saints", that is, they transcend the sacred world and get rid of the suffering of life and death. The last six kinds are called "six mysteries", which need endless circulation in filthy soil. The last three kinds are also called "three evils" and "three evils", which is a more unfortunate realm, and hell is the most unfortunate. Speaking of hell, it is chilling, with as many as eighteen floors. The further you go, the deeper the pain.

In hell, there are not only demons such as Yamaraja, judges and ghosts, but also all kinds of torture such as knives, frying pans, millstones and saws. Therefore, people are most afraid of entering eighteen layers of hell after death.
