The seventh month of the lunar calendar is commonly known as the "ghost month". It is said that the lonely and wild ghosts of the underworld will return to the mortal world to enjoy sacrifices during this period.
The ghost month must be deliberately avoided for major civil affairs, so this period is an off-season for real estate, automobile, wedding, and decoration businesses.
Folks respectfully refer to these lonely ghosts as "elder princes" or "good brothers", which implies awe and kindness but is also mixed with pity and terror.
People are afraid of ghosts and hold ghost sacrifice ceremonies to appease the dead, and at the same time, based on sympathy for the lonely souls without owners, they cast flames to save all ghosts.
On the first day of the seventh lunar month, it is commonly believed that the gates of the underworld will be opened, and the "Yin temples" dedicated to ghosts, such as the ancestral halls of Minmingong, Wanshangong, Youyinggong, and Shuiliugong, will symbolically open the gates from the early morning of the first day of the lunar month. On the evening of the same day, the folks worshiped at the gate with offerings of wine and sutras and papers to "clean up the wind and cleanse the dust" for the old man.
July is the summer vacation for ghosts. All activities to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, such as unannounced visits, exorcism, and opening temple gates, must be prohibited to avoid harming innocent people.
In the past, since the beginning of July, each village held Pudu in turn every day. Its purpose was to make lonely ghosts enjoy the offerings of the people every day, and the
people also took this opportunity to entertain their relatives and friends in turn. The Lantern Festival is a folk belief that is a fusion of the Buddhist Yulan Basin and the Taoist Zhongyuan Festival.
