Why can't I go out in July of the lunar calendar 15?

You can't go out on July 15 of the lunar calendar, because the traditional concept of China people is that you will encounter ghosts when you go out.

The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the Mid-Yuan Festival in Taoism, and it is called the Bonihara Festival in Buddhism. Now it is called Ghost Festival among the people. The traditional idea of China people is to go to the underworld after death, and their daily life is the same as that of the living. Only on this day every year can "ghosts" come out to communicate with the living.

The complex resume of July 15th makes its cultural connotation richer than other festivals. Wan Yan Shaoyuan believes that the most important cultural core of July 15th is reporting the source, that is, ancestor worship.

China formed the concept of ancestor worship as early as the pre-Qin period. Later, Confucianism refined the consciousness of filial piety and developed clan organization and social structure. China people have a weak religious concept and a strong ancestral concept. When foreign religions are introduced into China, China people must be allowed to worship their ancestors, otherwise they will not be handed down.

Buddhism finally accepted the values centered on filial piety, and saving mother with eyes is a story of filial piety. Therefore, there is a mourning activity on July 15, and food, daily necessities and money are sent to relatives regularly.
