On the Mid-Autumn Festival, old people often remind children not to bathe in the water.
It is said that "water ghosts" often appear in rivers, lakes and ponds on this day. On this day, people are asked to be whipping boys so that they can be reincarnated. Some people are prone to drowning accidents. Others say that the water is haunted, and they come out for activities on this day to prevent being met and getting into trouble.
2. It is forbidden to rest at the roots of trees at night.
Old people often say that ghosts prefer dark places to bright ones. At night, they like to wander under the wall and gather under the big tree.
Therefore, on the evening of July 15, the old man reminded not to play under the big tree or under the wall to avoid some evil things affecting his health.
It is forbidden to play alone in the middle of the night.
It is said that this night is the peak of ghost activity, and all the ghosts are running around outside.
Especially at night, when you walk alone in the dead of night, you will inevitably be scared. If you are weak and sick, you will often be attacked by evil spirits, causing unnecessary trouble.
It is forbidden to call your partner at night.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, we often hear that it is easy to find a person by calling his name and saying that he heard it from a ghost.
Others say that this is a ghost trick, which makes people hear mistakes, as if they heard someone calling their name. Don't look back at this time. If you can't find anyone back, you will inevitably be scared! Even attacked by evil spirits.
5. It is forbidden to pat others on the shoulder.
Old people often say that people have three fires, one on their heads and the other on their shoulders. Ordinary people can hardly see them, but ghosts can see them. When a person is healthy, the fire will flourish, and the yang fire on his body will burn, so the evil things of ghosts will not dare to approach him.
However, patting others on the shoulder can easily cause the yang fire on them to suddenly go out, giving ghosts an opportunity, especially those with strong yang or weak body, which often brings unnecessary influence.
6. It is forbidden to hang clothes at night without taking them back.
In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, especially on the Mid-Autumn Festival, family members ask for clothes back in time and don't hang them on the drying rack. So that's it.
It is said that on the night of July 15, there are ghosts wandering around, and they like clothes with human body odor very much. They like to cling to clothes, so they often bring unnecessary trouble! Provoke some ghosts and evil spirits.
7. It is forbidden to respect ancestors in graves.
On July 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, people still worship their ancestors. People miss the kindness of their ancestors, thank them for their blessings, and often go to worship.
Of course, there are relative taboos everywhere. For example, don't trample, don't burn too much paper money, and prevent paper money from being taken away from your feet. This is money for your ancestors. And don't defecate casually, disrespect your ancestors and so on.
8. It is forbidden to talk nonsense in the cemetery.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also a day to inherit the culture of filial piety and thank the ancestors for their blessings. Don't say something disrespectful in case they are unhappy.
Also, don't take pictures in the cemetery. It is said that the ancestors also like to take photos with everyone to prevent the same frame from appearing. It's best not to take pictures.
9. It is forbidden to steal sacrifices or pick flowers and plants.
When offering sacrifices to ancestors, it is natural to prepare rich sacrifices, such as chicken, fish, meat and eggs, as well as various snacks and fruits. Some children don't pay much attention and often steal sacrifices while adults are not paying attention. Pay attention to this.
Others like natural scenery and picking wild flowers and fruits around the cemetery. This belongs to our ancestors. Don't make him angry. Go back with them.
10. It is forbidden to pick up paper money on the ground.

Therefore, there is money on the ground, don't pick it up at will, it is often to let others take away things that are not easy. Some say it's a ghost's money, so don't pick it up at will. If you accidentally find it, spend it immediately.
