Why is July 15 called "Central Plains Congress" and "Ghost Festival"?
July 15th is called Mid-Autumn Festival. July 15 is the so-called Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also the Ghost Festival. Legend has it that in the middle of the night, the gate of hell will open. All the ghosts will come out of the ground and accept the paper money burned for them later.

When I was a child, I didn't understand the origin of the China dollar. I remember when July 15 approaches every year, I see my father preparing to burn laminated iron cores for his deceased ancestors (this thing seems to be one of the three major specialties in Wanzai County, commonly known as "toilet paper". People in my hometown always use it as paper money when offering sacrifices to the dead. However, with the progress of the times, it seems that there are many large bills with face value of 1 100 million or even1100 million issued by the bank of hades in the incense shop in my hometown. When I put a piece of red paper on the bread and respectfully wrote the words "Central Plains Club", I was still muttering in my heart that my father was really uneducated and would spell "Central Plains Club" wrong. Well, now that I think about it, I'm too cultured.
