When is the fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month?

The fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month, also called July 30th in our countryside, is a traditional festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival. What is it also called? Ghost Festival? . This is another traditional festival after Tomb-Sweeping Day. On this night, people will burn paper money for their dead relatives and pin their thoughts on them.

On July 14th and 15th of the lunar calendar, these two days are called Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also the middle day of the year. There will be many sacrificial activities in these two days. For us rural people, we will choose to burn paper on the roadside, while city people will choose to burn paper money at the crossroads.

When I was a child, I was most afraid of these two nights, because the sacrificial activities of burning paper money everywhere would make this night particularly dark. For me who sleeps alone on weekdays, I choose to sleep with my mother on these two days every year. It may be because of my timidity or my own paranoia that I dare not stay alone at night.

It was not until I grew up that I realized that this was a traditional ritual activity, and my fear disappeared. On the one hand, because I grew up, I became more courageous; On the other hand, because I know more knowledge, I understand that this is only a traditional ritual activity, and it did not happen as the old people at home said.

Nowadays, with the emergence of civilized sacrifices, many people pour out their thoughts about their loved ones on the Internet. For this kind of uncivilized sacrifice under the line, the frequency of appearance is becoming less and less.

I think it is also a very good practice to set up a website dedicated to sacrifice on the Internet. Not only can you pin your thoughts on yourself, but you can also leave corresponding sacrificial traces when you sacrifice. The next time you open a webpage, you can clearly see your sacrifice.

Therefore, the fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month is also our traditional festival of sacrifice, scientifically known as the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I still hope everyone can make a civilized sacrifice.
