Ghost Festival night points have ghosts

As the saying goes: midnight ghosts knocking on the door, this hour is the ghost out of the time. The third watch of the night is the period from eleven to one o'clock in the middle of the night, and by the time the rooster crows at about 4:00 in the morning, the ghosts will go back.

During the time from eleven to one o'clock, the ghosts hiding in the netherworld also start to become active. The Yin Qi will gradually increase, reaching its peak at 00:00 AM, and then gradually decreasing, and at 4:00 AM, the ghosts will slowly retreat, because the sun will rise. Knowing what time the ghosts come out and what time they go back, we must be careful not to walk at night.

The origin of the Ghost Festival

The Chinese Ghost Festival is July 15 on the lunar calendar, and the Ghost Festival originates from the Buddhist Bon Festival. According to legend, Shakyamuni's disciple, Venerable Meilian, lost both his parents before he attained enlightenment, and he missed his mother very much. After he had attained enlightenment, he looked into the hells with his celestial eyes to find his mother, and found that she had fallen into the path of the hungry ghosts, and when she entered the mouth, her food was turned into a blazing fire and she suffered terribly. The mother's food was turned into fire when she entered the mouth, and her suffering was so great that she went to her master, Shakyamuni, to ask for a way to free herself.
