The festival is July 15, why many rural areas on July 14, "burning bags" ancestor worship?

Why do many people celebrate the Mid-Yuan Festival early because traditionally July 15 is the Ghost Festival, and after twelve o'clock on the night of July 14, the amnesty given by the Bodhisattvas of the Earth begins, and if they wait until July 15 to burn paper and send things, it will be too late. So here, we all start burning paper to honor our ancestors after the tenth day of the seventh month. In order for the ancestors to get money and good food to spend and eat as much as they want after twelve o'clock on July 14th.

Some netizens said and "burning bags" must be burned before July 15, some areas are burned in the evening of July 14, some areas in the July 13th burning, with "burning bags" this form of tribute to the ancestors of grief and filial piety, in the past, many people outside the home to pay homage to their ancestors, but also in the past, they have to pay attention to their ancestors. and filial piety, in the past, many people work outside, July half can not return home will be prepared in advance "burn package", in July half before the July 13th, 14th toward the ancestors of the direction of the burn package. In addition to filial piety and mourning, the burning of bags in rural areas, there is also the meaning of praying for blessings.

July 14 burnt bags ancestor what is said in our rural home elders said that every year after the tenth of July is "burnt bags" ancestor worship time, there is no provision must be which day to burn paper, are a few people in the family negotiated with each other on the time, that is, in the eleventh month of July began to ancestor worship to the end of the fifteenth month of July, after the fifteenth of July, there is no in the ancestor worship. The first day of the month is July 11th and it ends on July 15th, after which there will be no more ancestor worship.

So regarding the time of "burning bags" to offer ancestors, as long as it is carried out before the Mid-Yuan Festival, so it does not have to be July 14 to offer ancestors, or to look at the family's time to make arrangements.

Buddhistically speaking, the 15th of July is the traditional Ghost Festival, a day of amnesty for all ghosts, in which they are allowed to eat and walk around. That is why it is said that this day, July 15, is called Ghost Festival.

Because July 15 is the Ghost Festival, people seldom walk around on this day, meaning that they are afraid of disturbing their ancestors, so when they burn paper, they burn it in advance. There are no special things, they stay at home.
