Therefore, hipsters have many superstitious activities on this day: don't visit relatives and friends, otherwise it will bring misfortune to relatives and friends; You can't go out at night, and you can't sleep in the wild, so as not to be "caught by children"; Put peach branches and willow branches on doors and knockers to ward off evil spirits and prevent the prince from sending "people" to pick watermelons.
In Chaoshan, all family members who died before the sixth day of June of that year, on the sixth day of June, family members will do something for the deceased and transcend the soul of the deceased. If he dies in the second half of the year, he will have to "cross the bridge" on June 6 next year. But this "crossing the bridge" ceremony is only held once for the dead.
When the ceremony is held, three kinds of paper money and melons (mainly watermelons) must be prepared, and then seven "bridges" and several "piers" with a width of two or three inches and a length of seven or eight inches are steamed out with rice flour to support a "dog tongue" with a wide end and a narrow end in front of the deceased. In this way, when the deceased relatives come to Naihe Bridge after the worship, they can throw the "dog tongue" under the bridge to feed the dogs, and give three animals and paper money to the orphans on the bridge to avoid being dragged off the bridge by them. This melon is dedicated to Yan Luowang, asking him to be a better person in the afterlife. This "crossing the bridge" ceremony lasted from the evening of the fifth day of June to the early morning of the sixth day.
