Mid-Autumn Festival is the cloudiest day in the ghost month. Legend has it that at midnight on this day, if you stay in the wild, you will see the wonders of ghosts walking at night. Hundreds of ghosts came to Naihe Bridge, and the ghost department led them with red lanterns and came to Yang's long-lost world. So this night is not suitable for going out.

Every July and a half is the day when the gate of hell opens. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the gates of hell are opened, and all ghosts can come to the world to enjoy human blood. Living relatives will prepare some dishes, fruits and vegetables, and gold paper clothes to sacrifice to ghosts at the intersection on this day, also in order to accumulate virtue for the dead relatives, hoping that they will complete their merits as soon as possible and be reborn as immortals.

July 30th was originally a folk festival to worship ancestors in ancient times, but it was called Zhongyuan Festival, which originated from Taoism after the Eastern Han Dynasty. Buddhism calls July and a half the "Kasahara Festival". In a sense, the ancestor worship festival in July and a half belongs to folk customs, the Mid-Autumn Festival belongs to Taoism, and the Arahara Festival belongs to Buddhism.

Sacrificing ancestors on July 14/ 15 is a traditional cultural festival popular in Chinese character cultural circles of various countries and overseas Chinese areas, and it is also a traditional festival to worship ancestors on the same footing as New Year's Eve, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Chung Yeung Festival.
