What's the birthday of the deceased?
People in China call the birthday of the deceased "Ghost Festival" and the day when their ancestors died "Memorial Day". Celebrating the birthday of the deceased grandparents or parents can be called "Ghost Festival".

It is a custom to celebrate the birthday of the deceased, which originated from celebrating the birthdays of people all over the world. For example, in nature, it is a kind of filial piety celebration for ancestors based on family or clan, which is intended to "pursue the future with caution", "remember the past and enrich the future" and add luster to the family.

Although there is no specific time to hold a memorial service, there are many new funerals. For example, grandparents and parents died less than three years ago, and their descendants were not finished, or less than ten years ago, their descendants inherited the property rights, careers and even titles of their elders out of gratitude.
