The slippers are neatly placed beside the bed.
When traveling abroad, placing slippers neatly beside the bed will arouse the curiosity of friends in the spiritual world, causing them to make trouble in bed. Regarding the direction of the toes of the slippers towards the bed, good brothers will look at the toes of the slippers to determine where strangers are. If you put your toes toward the head of the bed, then your best friend will go to bed and sleep with you.
The Ghost Festival is a traditional ghost festival in China, also known as the "Lan Pen Festival". It is one of the three major ghost festivals in China. The Ghost Festival is a Taoist proverb in China. The custom of the Hungry Ghost Festival has been around since ancient times. This is a festival to worship ancestors. In the past, people had many taboos during the Hungry Ghost Festival because they were afraid of provoking ghosts and gods and were cautious when going out. Let’s take a look at the taboos of the Hungry Ghost Festival.
1. Hang wind chimes by the bedside.
Wind chimes can easily attract ghosts, and sleeping is the most vulnerable time to be violated.
2. Night travel
People with a light personality must not travel at night, otherwise they will only ask for trouble. 3. Burn ghost paper on non-specific occasions
Burn paper to ghosts and gold paper to gods. Burning paper will only attract more ghosts.
4. Stealing sacrifices
These foods belong to ghosts. If you use them without their consent, you will only bring bad luck that is difficult to deal with.
5. Whistle
Whistle at night to beware of a ghost liking you.
6. Call your name
Never call your name when walking at night. Try to match the code name to avoid being remembered by ghosts.
7. Swimming
At this time, the ghost will play a foot-lifting game with you. If you are not careful, your life will be lost.
8. Look around.
Ghosts like to hide and scare people. If they look around and get scared, that's the perfect time for them to violate you.
9. Put a banyan tree at home.
Because the banyan tree is a shade plant, it is also a favorite of ghosts, unless you want your good friends to come to your home. 10. Stay up late.
The busiest time is midnight, and the most haunted time is also midnight. Who will win in comparison?
11. Against the wall
Ghosts generally like to rest on cold walls, which can easily lead to ghost possession.
Many places in China have different views on the Ghost Festival, but the basic meaning is the same. Ancestor worship during the Hungry Ghost Festival is an important part of social formation and occupies an important position in the study of Hungry Ghost Festival culture.
