First statement:

Every year, July 14th of the lunar calendar is the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Ghost Festival, or the Yulan Festival, which is a big festival for worshipping ghosts and ghosts.

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from Taoism, and later Buddhism changed to the now commonly known Ghost Festival. In Indian, Yulan Festival means "hanging upside down". "Hanging upside down" means that after the death of the mother of the top ten sons of Sakyamuni, she suffered from a hungry ghost and could not eat. Later, I got help from Sakyamuni. Support the ten gods and buddhas with hundreds of flavors and five fruits and save the mother through merits. So now, in order to sacrifice the lonely souls, Purdue Festival is held in July in the lunar calendar, which is now called Ghost Festival.

Generally speaking, in ancient times, people were reluctant to do important things such as getting married this month.

The second statement:

About the origin of Ghost Festival, it is said that Bodhisattva Diksitigarbha, who is often called [Lord Yan], came to the underworld of Yin Dynasty after his mother died and was imprisoned in a prison cell. As a filial son, Bodhisattva Diksitigarbha could not bear to see his mother suffer, and on July 15th, he was unfaithful and let the kid guarding the prison cell secretly beat the prison door. Those ghosts who ran back to their hometown asked their families for money so that they could go back to live and get through their joints, hoping to support their lives as soon as possible. Later, people designated this day as [Ghost Festival ].

On Ghost Festival, people burn paper money and offer offerings to pay homage to the dead.
