The 15th day of the seventh lunar month is a traditional festival in China, also called Ghost Festival. According to legend, from July 1st every year, the King of Yan ordered to open the gates of hell, so that those ghosts who have suffered and been imprisoned in hell all the year round can get out of hell, get a short wandering and enjoy human blood food. Therefore, people call July a ghost month, and this month is considered an unlucky month. They neither get married nor move.

According to legend, on this day, Yan Luowang will open the gates of hell and let the imprisoned ghosts come out to move freely, and will not return to the underworld until the end of July. Therefore, during this period, it was popular among the people to worship their dead relatives, burn gold ingots, paper candles and set off river lanterns, so as to pray for ancestors' blessing, eliminate disasters and increase happiness, or turn over the dead and resolve grievances.
