The 14th/15th of July in the lunar calendar is called Yulan Festival, also known as Yulan Festival. In the past, people prepared some dishes, wine, rice, gold, silver, clothes and paper to worship ghosts and gods at the intersection on this night.
The 14th/15th of July in the lunar calendar is the biggest festival in the underworld-Ghost Festival, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival or the Orchid Festival, which is one of the three important festivals in the underworld in China. There is a legend among the people that the Lantern Festival is celebrated in the dead and the Ghost Festival is celebrated in the underworld. It is said that on that day, Yan will also spend the festive season with ghosts in costumes, and let us living people bless them together, wishing people in another world all their wishes come true and enjoy the happiness that the world has not had time to enjoy. Therefore, many local festivals in our country will hold activities such as offering sacrifices, attending Buddha, cleaning tombs, reviewing, enjoying flowers and fishing to celebrate.
Ghost Festival originated from the story of Mulian saving his mother: "Those who have Mulian monks have great powers. His mother fell into the hungry ghost road, and the food entrance turned into flames, and the hunger was too bitter. Mu Lian couldn't save his mother, so he asked the Buddha for advice. In order to talk about the scriptures of the orchid basin, he taught to make an orchid basin on July 15 to save his mother. " It is said that at that time, after going through all kinds of hardships in the underworld, Mulian met his dead mother, Liu, and found that she was tortured by a group of hungry ghosts. Mulian wanted to give her vegetable rice in a bowl, but the vegetable rice was taken away by the hungry ghosts. Mu Lian had to ask the Buddha for help, and the Buddha was moved by Mu Lian's filial piety and awarded him the Orchid Sutra. According to the instructions, Mulian dedicated a rare fruit vegetarian diet to his mother on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. The hungry mother finally got the food. In order to commemorate Mulian's filial piety, Buddhists hold a grand "Bonsai" every year, which is what we now call "Ghost Festival".
It is said in the book that on this day in ancient times, people would set up the Magician's Seat and shi gu Terrace in front of Jiekou Village in advance. In front of the mage's seat, there is a bodhisattva, the earth treasure king who crosses the hell, and below it is a plate of peaches and rice. Shi gu stands on the stage with three spiritual tablets and evocative complications. After noon, families put whole pigs, whole sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and all kinds of cakes, fruits, melons and fruits on the shi gu stage. The person in charge inserted a triangular paper flag in blue, red and green on each sacrifice, and wrote the words "Yulan Festival" and "Ganlu Gate Open". The ceremony began with a solemn temple music. Then, the mage rang the bell and led the monks in the seat to recite various spells and mantras. Then feed, sprinkle a plate of peaches and rice in all directions, and repeat it three times. This kind of ceremony is called the flame opening. Wang Kaitai, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote a poem: "The Dojo is full of ghosts, and the original ancient meaning of Yulan exists. However, it is strange that the red plaque is attached to the door, and the meat mountain wine sea celebrates Zhongyuan. " It describes the custom of Halloween in the southeast coast of China.
It can be seen that "Ghost Festival" is due to the filial piety of traditional virtues. Nowadays, people in northern China still burn paper money on this day to pay homage to their ancestors who left early and express their feelings for their loved ones. Although the way of sacrifice is simple, it basically preserves the simple meaning of Ghost Festival. Because of the call of blood, the extension of feelings and the reminder of one's future, Ghost Festival is endowed with rich humanistic connotation. Even if the years are different, the gifts burned are different, but the living people will never be able to finish the endless grief and deep nostalgia for their distant relatives. However, "people of different ages have different feelings about this special festival, because the future festival is coming to them mercilessly, from obscurity to clarity, from missing to fear, from fear to calmness. When I miss people in the past, I am actually thinking about my experience, content, way and pursuit of living today."
July 14th/15th is the day when the gates of hell are wide open. Whether it's burning paper money to send blessings, holding daisies to mourn, offering sacrifices to ancestors on the Internet, or putting out river lanterns, people alive today miss the past together and send blessings to their ancestors together, which is the spontaneity of human spirit, the extension of feelings and the most basic belief. And at the same time, "the living should cherish every day alive, don't be ashamed of society and friends, and don't be ashamed of relatives who have left forever." Because, one day we will meet them. At that time, you can proudly say that you are a hero on earth and a ghost hero in the underworld! " ...> >
What's the festival on the 13th day of the seventh lunar month? Today is the 13th day of the seventh lunar month. At least in our place, it's a folk festival-Ghost Festival.
Qingming Festival is also a ghost festival, but you have to go to the tomb to pay homage. On July 13th, you pay homage at home.
It is said that July 13th is the birthday of King Earth Treasure, who is a Korean prince. He went to Jiuhua Mountain in China and became a monk, swearing that "Hell is not empty, and he will never become a Buddha", so he became the god in charge of hell, equivalent to the president of the court. There are ten Yan kings who are in charge of different temples, equivalent to the presidents of the courts below. Emperor Dongyue was also in charge of hell, and I don't know who was bigger than the earth treasure king. But there is no doubt that the earth treasure king has a high position in hell.
Because of the birthday of the earth treasure king, ghosts in the underworld can have a holiday for three days, and there is also a festival in July, which is also in these three days anyway. The desk calendar is marked as July 15th of the lunar calendar, with July 14th in Guangdong and Guangxi, and July 13th in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
according to the old custom in our country, on July 13th, we should invite ancestors at home, as if we should invite them three times a year, Qingming at home, and Lunar New Year's Eve before the Chinese New Year, together with July 13th. Just set the food on the table, put two rows of small wine cups, each with a little drop of wine, and then kowtow. My grandparents were very particular about it, but my parents were particular about it. On the 13th of July, incense will be planted on the ground, which is said to be a memorial to the king of Tibet, which is not found in other festivals.
Another rule on July 13th is to eat wonton. It seems that every festival has something to do with eating, such as rice cakes on the first day, dumplings on the fifteenth day, Qingming dumplings, zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and laba porridge, all the way to the New Year's Eve ... But there is no custom of eating jiaozi in Jiangnan for the New Year.
I don't know what there is to say about Wonton, but it seems that July 13th has nothing to do with Pangu.
I wonder if it is also on July 13th. It is also said to have something to do with calming the soul.

Are you born on the 13th day of the seventh lunar month? You were born on the same day as me! The dates are all right
Why do some people say that the 13th of July is Ghost Festival, others say that the 14th is, and there are fifteen? On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, it is the Orchid Festival, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, commonly known as Ghost Festival and shi gu. The meaning of Zhongyuan is extended from Lantern Festival. In ancient times, the first full moon in the first month was called Shangyuan (so the Lantern Festival was also called Shangyuan Festival), July was the middle of the year, and the first full moon in July was called Zhongyuan, because it was the festival name.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also
