Chaozhou custom: peach branches are inserted on the sixth day of June

Chaozhou Lunar June 6 Customs

On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, peach branches and willow branches are inserted in every door and window, and poplar branches are mixed in some places. Every outward door and window should be inserted, and the length of peach branches is not limited. Usually inserted before the evening of the fifth day. Children are generally not allowed to go out at night, and adults should take a peach branch with them to ward off evil spirits.

Because there is a traditional custom in Chaozhou, it is said that people who died before the fifth day of June this year will cross the Naihe Bridge on the sixth day of June this year (that is, from the fifth day 1 to the sixth day1). All family members worship the souls of the dead on the fifth night of June. This is called "crossing the bridge".

The Legend of Thriller

Legend has it that there was nothing specific to offer before. Later, a man was poor and had no money to buy meat, so he worshipped a watermelon for his family who had just died. New ghosts cross Naihe Bridge, and other ghosts bribe ghosts with meat. He had no meat, so he gave the ghost a watermelon to cross the bridge smoothly. Later, on the sixth day of June, people made sacrifices with watermelons and pork. ?

There must be a large watermelon and a piece of cooked pork, as well as some other unspecified sacrifices in the sacrifice of picking watermelon. Watermelon is put in a bamboo basket, and then tied to the basket with bamboo rings, one end with a pole and the other end on the ground. It is said that the new ghost will cross Naihe Bridge with watermelon at one end and other sacrifices at the other, so that it can bribe the ghost to use it on the way to cross the bridge smoothly. ?

Therefore, in Chaoshan area, it is said that on the sixth day of June, ghosts in the underworld will pick watermelons among the dead and go back to cool off, but children are lazy and often catch people to pick them, commonly known as "ghost bear watermelons".
