Winter solstice has just arrived, why can not go out at night to go, must stay at home (Suzhou)

Legend has it that the winter solstice is a ghost festival (Ching Ming, July 30 is also), families to the deceased ancestors burn paper money, rice, night, the street ghosts are out to collect money, so stay at home, go out and will run into ghosts (Shanghai is also such a custom), although it is a superstition, but in the event of a coincidence, run into anything unlucky, people will attribute it to the ghosts of the strange.

Superstition is superstition, ghosts are definitely not there, just take advantage of these two or three specific days of the year, remember the ancestors just (usually have no time).
