The 15th day of the seventh lunar month every year is the "Obon Festival", also known as the "Hungry Ghost Festival". In some places, it is commonly known as the "Ghost Festival" and "Shigu", also known as the Day of the Dead and the Seventh Festival. Half a month.
It is said that all the ghosts are released from the underworld on that day, and people generally carry out activities to worship ghosts. It was originally a day for people to worship their ancestors, but through various legends from later generations, it evolved into this day when the heaven and earth palace opened the door to hell. Countless ghosts flocked to the upper world for vacation, and the upper world became a place for "them" to relax. But whether it is to worship ancestors or to relax in the world of ghosts, the aura of that day is destined to be quite gloomy, and there are many taboos in doing things.
So, what can’t be done during the Hungry Ghost Festival? Let’s go and have a look with Teacher Dong Yiqi!
1. People who are guilty of Tai Sui should not go out at night
Those who are guilty of Tai Sui are bound to have misfortune, and they belong to a group of people with relatively low fortune. As the old saying goes, "If a person is unlucky, his teeth will become clogged when he drinks water." This year, in the Yiwei Year of the Sheep, those born under the zodiac signs Ox, Rat, Sheep and Dog have extremely sluggish fortunes this year and are extremely susceptible to bad auras on the Ghost Festival, so it is not advisable to travel late at night. , it is also not advisable to travel in deep mountains to avoid attracting negative magnetic fields. Even when going out, it is not advisable to wear bells, wind chimes and other items that may attract unclean auras.
2. It is not advisable to join in the fun of traffic accidents
I believe that many people like to be busy, but there are some livelies that you should not join in, especially in the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The scene of a traffic accident is regarded as an extremely unlucky place in folklore. Most of these scenes are "horrible" or "bloody", and often contain many negative and low-energy magnetic fields. On the day of the Ghost Festival, the negative energy aura is already high. If you join in the fun, it will more easily lead to bad luck and everything will go wrong for you.
3. It is not advisable to wear too gorgeous clothes on the Ghost Festival
On the day of the Ghost Festival, there will be many dark and depressed auras, and these auras are often represented by particularly bright, enchanting and gorgeous clothes. as a pointer. Therefore, during this period, especially when traveling at night, you should wear these clothes as little as possible to avoid being entangled in a dark aura, which will hinder your luck and bring bad luck. However, you can wear a "safe and sound card" when you go out on the Ghost Festival to ensure safety, peace and prosperity every year. Obsidian has always been revered as a sacred object in Buddhism. It has great anti-evil effects and can powerfully resolve negative energy. The safe and sound cards made from it are more effective and more effective.
