What should we pay attention to on the Mid-Autumn Festival?

1, avoid going out at night

It is not recommended to go out after 1 1 on the night of Halloween, and the period from 1 1 to the early morning is the darkest time of the day. Another saying is that it is usually after 6: 30, that is, after dark. You'd better go home before dark. It is generally believed that July 15th is the day of Ghost Festival, and it is also the day when the ghost door is wide open. At this time, it is the heaviest time to be cloudy, so it is best not to go out on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

2, avoid talking indiscriminately,

We know that the power of language is great. We should remember what to say and what not to say on this day. Don't talk nonsense, lest you bring unexpected things.

3, avoid slapping your shoulders.

People often say that people have a fire on their left and right shoulders, so they can't shoot around. From a psychological point of view, a sudden pat on the shoulder will cause the other person to be frightened and have a bad influence.

4. Don't pick up money on the roadside.

This money is used to buy cattle's head and horse's face. Don't steal the sacrifice! These foods belong to ghosts, and if they are used without their consent, they will only bring themselves hard luck.

5. Avoid taking pictures at night

Things like mirrors or mobile phones are easy to catch unclean things. If you take pictures at night, you may take pictures of unclean things, which means you are contaminated with unlucky things and your fortune will decline.

6, don't trample on the paper.

On this day, there are often people burning paper on the roadside. Don't trample on the scattered paper. It is money burned to ghosts, and ghosts will often pick it up. If you step on their things, they will be unhappy, and you will be in trouble!
