What are the taboos of Ghost Festival on July 15th?
On July 15, it is forbidden to hang wind chimes at the bedside, have a night outing, burn paper on non-specific occasions, steal sacrifices at night, and dry clothes.

First, wind chimes hang on the bedside. Wind chimes are easy to attract good brothers, and sleeping is the easiest time to be "violated".

Second, night trips. People with lighter personalities should never travel at night, otherwise they will only ask for trouble.

Third, burning paper on non-specific occasions. Ghost paper is burned for good brothers, and gold paper is burned for god. Burning ghost paper will only attract more good brothers.

Fourth, stealing sacrifices. These foods belong to good brothers. If you use them without their consent, it will only bring you bad luck.

Fifth, hang clothes at night. When a good brother thinks your clothes look good, he will borrow them and leave his taste on them.
