July 15 is Ghost Festival. According to legend, the gate of hell will open wide, and countless ghosts will flock to the dead to linger, which can be described as "Yin Qi soaring into the sky". How can we avoid bumping into evil spirits and stride over? Pay attention to the following taboos to reduce the chance of "hitting ghosts". July 15 Halloween is prohibited 1. Visiting the Earth Temple is a clean place to worship God. Many people think that on the Yulan Festival, we should worship the gods and pray for their blessing. But from a metaphysical point of view, this is wrong, because the land temple worships the land god, who is the leader of ghosts and gods. Therefore, during the Ghost Festival, ghosts will gather in the land temple when wandering among the undead. On July 15, Ghost Festival is forbidden. To be safe, don't swim at night. As the saying goes, "Don't bully mountains, don't bully water." In a year, many people drowned and became ghosts. It is said that these ghosts will come out to look for their bodies on Halloween, so for the sake of safety, swimming in the seaside, rivers and streams is forbidden in July of the lunar calendar. In addition, if the windows at home are facing the cemetery, the windows should be closed and the curtains should be put down throughout the seventh month of the lunar calendar to reduce the condensation of yin and avoid provoking ghosts wandering in the cemetery. Avoid 3. Don't stay by the wall of the stairs. Although the lunar calendar will be more vigorous in July, ghosts will always avoid popularity for a few minutes, so they will not meet passers-by in the street, and most of them will choose to gather under trees or by walls. Therefore, when you go to the night street, you should try to avoid walking or staying near the wall, shade and stairs, especially the locust tree is the most likely to provoke ghosts. July 15 Ghost Festival should be 1. Necessary sacrifices are indispensable. For peace of mind, many people burn street clothes and buy a lot of food and sacrifices to worship on Halloween. But I remind you that when you worship, you should prepare some most needed sacrifices, such as clothes and paper, which must be rich and gold ingots; As for the sacrifice, you need to prepare barbecue, vegetables, water, rice and wine. Because ghosts are trapped on weekdays and can't wander around, they can't die until the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Therefore, human beings should burn money and gold ingots for ghosts, and prepare some basic human food for ghosts to enjoy, so that ghosts can fill their stomachs when they have money. July 15th Ghost Festival 2. Wear more yellow clothes on Halloween to avoid hitting ghosts, or you can start with clothes. During this period, try to wear less bright red clothes and more yellow clothes representing magic light, and don't let your hair cover your forehead. People with bangs had better pick them up with hairpins. It is said that there are three "lights" on the shoulders and back of the head, which represent yang. Don't pat the shoulders and back of the head during Halloween, so as not to put out the "lights" and provoke ghosts. It is appropriate to wear crystal agate to ward off evil spirits on July 15th. If you are still a little uneasy, you can consider wearing some ornaments that can ward off evil spirits, such as white crystal and agate. White crystal can keep the wearer clear-headed and not easily controlled by ghosts and gods. Agate can ward off evil spirits, make the wearer feel happy and increase self-confidence. As for the style, it doesn't matter what shape or color, of course, the bigger the better.
