The 14th day of the seventh lunar month is the Ghost Festival in western Guangdong. How much do you know about this cultural custom?
July 14/15 is the biggest festival in the underworld-Ghost Festival, also known as Zhongyuan Festival or Bonihara Festival, which is one of the three major festivals in China. There is a folk legend that the Lantern Festival is celebrated in the underworld and the Ghost Festival is celebrated in the underworld. It is said that every year from July 1st, the King of Yan ordered the gate of hell to be opened wide. On that day, Yan will also spend the festive season with those ghosts dressed in costumes, so that those ghosts and ghosts who have suffered and been imprisoned in hell all the year round can get out of hell, get a short wandering and enjoy human blood and food. Let us living people bless them together and wish people in another world all their wishes come true and enjoy the happiness that this world has not yet had time to enjoy. Therefore, many local festivals in our country will hold activities such as offering sacrifices, chanting Buddha, sweeping graves, reviewing, enjoying flowers and fishing to celebrate.

This month is considered unlucky, neither getting married nor moving.
