The name "Central Plains" originated from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Central Plains Festival is also called "Ghost Festival" or "Orchid Festival". On this day, Buddhism also held a meeting to transcend the Dharma, called "Ulanmana" (Hindi, ULLAMBANA), that is, the Yulan Meeting. The meaning of the basin is hanging upside down. The pain of life is like a bat hanging upside down from a tree, which is very miserable. In order to save all living beings from the suffering of hanging upside down, we must recite scriptures and give ghosts food. This coincides with the worship of ghost moon in China, so the Mid-Autumn Festival and Orchid Festival are handed down at the same time.
"Zhongyuan" is a Taoist saying: According to Five Magazine, the fifteenth day of the first month is "Shangyuan", and the day when God blessed the people is a Taoist scripture; July 15 is the "Central Plains", which is the day when local officials forgive sins. 10 15 is the "Xia Yuan", which is the day when the officials of the water department help Eritrea. The Book of Practice says: "On the Mid-Yuan Day in July, the local officials fell, and the good and evil on earth were decided, so the Taoist priests chanted scriptures at night and the prisoners were free from hunger. Therefore, on July 15, people will prepare rich sacrificial ceremonies to worship the emperor and his ancestors.
The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is an important folk festival in China.
