The original intention of Hungry Ghost Festival
Lantern Festival, Hungry Ghost Festival, Cold Food Festival collectively known as "Sanyuan", is a traditional festival in China. The fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar is called Lantern Festival, which celebrates the Lantern Festival, which has existed since ancient times.
Hungry Ghost Festival begins with the love and care for the deceased ancestors, and it is the kindness of the world.
1. Ancestor Worship
The Ancestor Worship Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, so it is referred to as "July and a half" ancestor worship. Folks believe that ancestors will also return home to visit their descendants at this time, so it is necessary to worship ancestors. The ritual of worship is generally held in the evening before the end of July and is not limited to a specific day.

4. Pray For A Good Harvest
Offering sacrifices at the Hungry Ghost Festival is often associated with praying for a good harvest. On the night of Shigu, every household should burn incense at their door to pray for a bumper harvest of rice, and put the incense sticks on the ground. This is called "butian" (planting rice seedlings). The more you plant, the better.
