What's the point of celebrating the Half Moon Festival?

1. Don't steal sacrifices: In July and a half, there will be sacrifices in some areas. If there is sacrifice, it is essential. These sacrifices are dedicated to the ancestors' gods, and these sacrifices cannot be stolen. Imagine stealing a sacrifice to a god. If you don't respect the god of your ancestors, it's not good for you.

2. Avoid going out at night: It is said that July is a ghost gate, and July and a half are anti-Japanese. All the ghosts are wandering outside. There is nothing special tonight. It is best not to play in the wild to avoid getting dirty.

Although there is no scientific basis for this statement, if you think about it carefully, July and a half already belong to autumn. Although it is still hot, it will be cold sooner or later. Aren't you afraid of catching cold when you go out to play at night? Besides, it is not safe at night.

3. Don't put chopsticks when eating: Don't put chopsticks in a bowl on July 15th, which will make gods or ghosts mistake them for sacrifices. This is also particularly taboo. Not to mention July 15, putting chopsticks in a bowl is particularly taboo at ordinary times, not to mention July 15.

4. avoid swearing at night: as mentioned above, try not to play in the wild on the night of July 15. If you have something special to go out, it's best not to call each other by their full names. You can use a title or other means instead. I heard from the old man that if you shout your full name, it will be remembered by those "ghosts", which is not good, so there is a saying called "Don't shout your full name".

5. Avoid ringing the bell at the bedside: Some people like to hang a wind chime at the bedside. When the wind blows, Ding's voice is very pleasant to hear, but in July and a half, ghosts are wandering around, and they also think it sounds pleasant, so they avoid ringing the bell by the bed.

In fact, this ghost is not off, but the wind chime will ring when it is slightly moved. Nothing in the short term. Being in this situation for a long time is likely to affect sleep, because for people with shallow sleep, no good sleep will affect their physical and mental health.

Speaking of which, how much do you know about these taboos? There are some things that you don't have to take seriously. Let's talk about these traditional cultures in China. In fact, whatever taboos are for blessing and peace. With the development of the times, some taboos and sayings have gradually faded out of people's sight, and some have even been forgotten. Now the pace of life is very fast, and I feel like this every day. Ask me what is the biggest taboo on this day, and that is "kindness, kindness, kindness".
