If you want to care for life, you ca n’t find the way. If there is a dead ghost on this day, you have to take care of a river lamp. " This road from the yin to the yang is very dark. If there is no light, there is no way. So it is a good thing to put on the lamp. It can be seen that the living gentlemen who are alive have not forgotten the deadly grievances. Call festival commonly known as ghost festival. Folk traditional festivals. On July 15th of the lunar calendar, there were also on July 14th. On this day, every family worshiped the ancestors, and some had to hold a family banquet to worship the ceremony. The three patrols of the wine showed that the ancestors were finished, and the family sat down again to join the holiday dinner. After breaking the black, carry gunfire, paper money, and fragrant candle, find a secluded river or pond flat, and sprinkle a circle with lime to indicate the restricted area. Then pour some water rice in the circle, burn some paper money, set off firecrackers, send ancestors on the road, and turn back to "Yin Cao Difu". In the past, the folk had to go home through a certain ceremony on the seventh day of July, and for the morning, noon, and fainting every morning, noon, and fainting, it was provided 3 times of tea, until it was returned on July 15. Now, gradually eliminate superstitions, retain the form of commemoration, and commemorate the ancestors.
The middle Yuan Festival is scheduled to be on July 15th of the lunar calendar, commonly known as July and a half. It is said that all the ghosts of the land of the Japanese house are generally carried out in the activities of worshiping ghosts. Anyone who has a new funeral, for example, must be new to the grave, and generally sacrifice the lonely soul ghost in the local area. Therefore, it is a festival centered on ghosts, which is the largest ghost festival in China. I July was originally Xiaoqiu. There are several crops mature. The people want to worship their ancestors as examples. Song Meng Lao's "Tokyo Menghua Record" Volume: "On the day before the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, buying the leafy leaves (a plant's leaves, with aroma), enjoying the desktop when enjoying the sacrifice, and buying Migu Naizer, which is also a Magua Nest. It is tied to the foot of the table, and it is the meaning of the ancestors of the ancestors. "In July, Xiaoqiu's crops were mature, and the Chinese who pay attention to filial piety should report to the ancestors and ask the ancestors to taste new. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoism made three sessions and five days. Among them, July 7th was Morallay, and the days when the Taoist people who were fixed to the middle of the Association went to the Governance to accept the school. The main content of Wula Day is the ancestor. In July, this ancestor's date of worship fixed the birthday and the corresponding sacrifice date of the Chinese Yuan Dynasty officials on July 15, and fixed on this day. This Chinese Yuan Festival is not only a Taoist religious festival, but also a folk festival. Three officials worshiped from the beginning of Taoism. The three officials of the first League of the League, namely the official, the earth official, and the water official, which later called it the Emperor of the Three Officials. They each have their own responsibility. The officials of the sky are the blessings of the Yuan Dynasty, the land official is the sin of Zhongyuan, and the water officer calls the Yuanyuan solution. In the Book of Dao, all three officials have to investigate the crime of the school on the crime of rewards and punishments. Among them, the local officials are governed by the prefecture, and of course the focus is on the ghosts of the road. So on this day, all the ghosts will leave the underworld and accept the examination. On this day, Dao Men will set up a routine day to celebrate the birthday of the official official. At the same time, the believers also contributed to set up fast to ask for the ancestors to ask for blessings. This is the main reason for the Chinese Yuan Festival to become a folk festival.
In July 15th is the Buddhist Yulan Pen Festival. "Obon" is the transliteration of Sanskrit. The original meaning is to solve the suspension. It is said that the apprentices of the Buddha are healthy and suffer from the evil before their births. Tell him that the monk of the monks (in China was July 15th) Zhai Monk, but he could save the ghosts from the suffering of hell. According to Buddhist rituals, the summer began in mid -April, that is, entered the temple to clear the repair. It was not allowed to go out during the day. It ended on July 15th. Chinese Buddhists created the "Yulan Pen Sutra" to promote the matter, and later formed the custom of setting up a ghost to set up a ghost. In this way, the characteristics of the Chinese Yuan Festival are the integration of the two religions of the Taoism. The activities of the ancestors worshiping ancestors, worshiping the lonely soul, surpassing the dead, and setting up ghosts are routine to become the largest "ghost festival" in the people. The folk activities of the Yuan Dynasty, around the ancestral worship and wild ghosts, there are city gods who have a patrolling (dead ghosts), Taoist views and Buddhist temples hold Pudu Fa conferences, surpass the undead, and the folks are more new to the new grave. As the Chinese come to Southeast Asia and other regions, they also bring the customs of the Chinese Yuan Festival to those places. The Chinese Yuan event in Penang, Malaysia has a wide range of mass foundations, well -known. Liu Zhongyu
Muragine festival The July 15th of the lunar calendar is the "Zhongyuan Festival". Folk customs, on July 15th, went to the grave to sweep the grave to sacrifice their ancestors. Some people burned paper money in front of the door or the streets. On this day, some people in the city carried the wooden house of the City God Temple Palace to three days in the summer. This is called "City Tour". People crossed the temple fair and took the Taolu opera. At that time, the Palace was located in the East: Horn, the place name was Hejiayuanzi.
Muoyuan Festival July July Ge Table It in the traditional customs of Chinese people, the Zhongyuan Festival is a major sacrifice ancestor. Fan. Whenever the lunar calendar in July, the Chinese people in our country will definitely hold a "Qingzan Zhongyuan".

The temples are also built separately, and the streets and alleys are staged a local opera or song table to help, showing a lively and extraordinary scene. The "Pu" ceremony in the middle of the Yuan Festival can be divided into several categories due to the differences in organizational forms, such as street (also known as Hongpu), Shipu, Temple Pu (or Gongtao) and so on. The so -called street Pu refers to Pudu, which is mainly based on the neighborhood; the city Pu is the market -oriented Pudu; the temple is Pu Du hosted by the temple. The is very common to celebrate Zhongyuan It local in the local area, the street is a group of houses, or the street is the middle Yuan Festival. The temple is not doubtful. If in my country is generally popular. In addition, local factories and industrial buildings generally have Pudu organization. In recent years, due to the improvement of people's living standards, it is also very common to celebrate the Yuanyuan, and the powsing is also very particular. Local is like a year. In Singapore, the general city Pu and Street will worship the big candle and the incense, and the rows are lined up. Some are more than ten or twenty feet high, which is spectacular. In in the shed, please also ask the paper shop to make a long -sighted long -sized, or Zhang Er's Pu Dugong, the blue face, the teeth, extremely afraid of people, put it in the shed. Candle, the method of sacrifice or plain, the more beautiful, the more wonderful. Wait, all of them are served, and they are inserted with the five -color flag and incense of the triangle, and it is colorful. . As for the difference between the temple Pu, there is an altar in the temple, and there is a large mirror on the "Bon Ben Club" or "Three Palace Emperor" in the center. , Statue, incense burner. There are white rice, bronze mirrors, ancient swords, small scales, scissors, ruler, umbrellas, and lit kerosene lamps in the bucket lamp. The ancients believed that this can avoid evil. The long table in front of the altar is worshiped on the animal, and the flour is used as a material to pinch the birds and beasts, fish, crab aquariums and other supply products. The bidding blessing of blessings In addition to the sacrifice, these local organizations are also indispensable for blessings. Fire charcoal, rice barrels, ingots, big lottery, hair cakes, wine, electrical appliances, and children's toys with "Ukin", which are commonly known as "Ukin", have everything. Pei sacrifice, what is inevitable is the brilliant bidding blessing, which is also one of the characteristics of the local Yuan Pudu. This most of the owner of the furnace when bidding, and shouted the price of the bidder in a loud man. He always heard the banquet. It is lively, and the bidder is also very gas, because most people believe that the "bid" one thing can bring some wealth, so everyone is very generous, especially the business people.
The members of the responsible members of the Zhongyuan Association will use the considerable amount of the bid to be used as a charity fund or a member of the membership. Activities, make a good reserve, such as inviting a song or local opera to help.
Mu Yin Ji The annual seas of the year has the so -called "three yuan", which means that the dollar is more than fifteen of the first month, the dollar 15 and October 15th. In addition to the Zhongyuan and Yulan Pen Festival, the people also said that July 15th was the ghost festival, and it was combined with the Qingming and October as the three ghost festivals. The folk ghost festival is closely related to the Central Yuan Festival and the Bon Festival of Buddhism, and has its own unique colors. In this way, monks, Taoism, and Vulgar three -centered one constitute the rich festival activities of July 15th in the lunar calendar. The poems of the literati Wang Kaitai in the Qing Dynasty described the custom of crossing the Chinese Yuan Festival in the Fujian area. This in the middle of the Yuan Festival Puzuhun ghost, the original Yulan ancient meaning. But the head of the red note is posted, and the Ninea wine Haiqing Zhongyuan.

For example, it is held in July 15th each year. Therefore, the Zhongyuan Festival is also known as the "Bon Festival". Despite the active cosmetic and passive naturalization of more than thousands of years, the trace of Buddhism still clearly stays in the Zhongyuan festival activities of the general public. The first is the name. Yulan is the transliteration of Sanskrit, which means "inverted". Yulan and the basin are the savior, that is, "saving the suspension device"; in addition, the Bon can also be interpreted as "saving the hanging pot". Highlight its characteristics of "placing Baijiawei rice". The poetry image of the poet of the Qing Dynasty poet Pang Ye depicts the scene of the middle and Yuan night children holding the ruffled lanterns with amusement. Chang'an miscellaneous bamboo branches Wasal trees cool and frost clear, mid -January nine are bright. The child racing green lotus leaves, 10,000 silver flowers scattered fire city. It's honeypot in the Buddhist gate will look at the rules of the rules, and the lanterns in the river are just one of them, which does not seem to be much tight.

If you want to care for life, you can't find the way. If there is a dead ghost on this day, you have to support the life. "This road from the yin to the yang is very dark. If there is no light, there is no way to see the road. So it is a good thing to put on the lamp. It can be seen that the living gentlemen who are alive have not forgotten the deadly grievances.
Muragun Festival On July 15th, Taoism is called the Zhongyuan Festival, Buddhism is called the Yulan Festival, and the old folks are called ghost festivals. For Tujili, the people of Shanxi today, especially the Jinbei people, renamed it as the surface plastic festival. Cultural connotation is very rich. The source of the Middle Yuan Festival should be related to the ancestral ancestors in ancient my country. After the prevalence of Taoism, it was traditionally established and created the three official gods of heaven, earth, and water. It is said that the birthday of Tianguan is on the 15th of the first month, called the Yuan Festival. Its main responsibility is to bless the world. The birthday of the land official is on July 15th, which is called Zhongyuan Festival. Its main responsibility is for the sin for the world. The birthday of the water official is on October 15th, which is called the 10,000 yuan festival. Its main responsibility is to solve the world. This compete with Taoism, and Buddhism determines that July 15th is the Obon Festival. Buddhism advocates compassion into goodness. In the three months of the rainy season of ancient India, Buddhist rituals banned monks and nuns from going out, saying that it was easy to hurt plants, wood, insect ants, and required monks to study in the temple to study and receive support. This period is called the settlement period. After Buddhism is passed on to my country, according to the seasonal changes in our country, it is stipulated that the settlement period is from April 16th to July 15th. Later, according to the scriptures, the Buddhist legends of "Save Mother Save Mother" were produced. The idea was Mu Lian, a disciple of Buddha Shakyamuni, and saw the dead mother suffering in hell and suffered. If you make every way to save each other, you have failed, so he had to ask the Buddha. Sakyamuni explained that his mother had a great crime before his lifetime, and he could be saved by the power of one person. He told Mu Lian to the day of July 15th. The public, with the help of the monks, can relieve their mother's suffering. Mu Yan even instructed to do it, and it really worked. This kind of Buddhist activity is known as the Obon. Yulan is the transliteration of ancient Indian Sanskrit, which means to hang upside down and describe the suffering of the dead. The pot is Chinese, which refers to the vessels that are placed in the offerings. Obon refers to such Buddhist activities, which can liberate the suffering of the dead.
This Buddhism has evolved on July 15th into the "Filial Filial Day" on July 15 with the help of the Confucian tradition's "filial piety" etiquette. Not only has the recognition of traditional culture in my country, but also is generally welcomed by official folks, so it has the greatest influence on July 15th folk activities. The Buddhist world of Wutai Mountain, on July 15th, will hold the Ben Pen Penfedo meeting as usual, and read the scriptures to surpass the undead. Some of the people around them should go to the temple to set up confession, sound, pray, and pray for their ancestors. In in the folk, every family must go to the grave to commemorate the ancestors. The Jinnan area is used to using paper to make lights and burned in front of the grave, which means that the deadline is bright. The food of the ancestors is like a bun. If the ancestors died for three years, the children would take off their filial piety on this day and change to the clothes, commonly known as filial piety. It Jinbei Grave to commemorate the ancestors, prey of making ravioli, flour, round, and a red dot in the middle. After the supply, the paper is burned, and when you go home, you must pull a few valleys and numbs from the ground, wrap it with green note, stand in front of the window, and worship the noodles. After the section, the roof was moved. In the roots, the ears were exposed to the outside, called picking Ma Valley. The popularity of folk is to bless the grains. However, the rules of the noodle people seem to be the remains of early people's customs. In July 15 to memorize the dead, the most solemn is the river lamp. The people are used to using wooden boards and five -color paper to make various colored lights and make candles. Some people also show the names of the dead on the lamp. Commercial banks and other units are used to making a colorful water boat, called Dafa ship. Legend has it that all the undead can be surpassed to the ideal world. Being a person with a Zen stick on the boat symbolizes the consecutive. Some are also made into Guanyin Bodhisattva. At night, put the paper boat and paper lights in the river to let it drift in water. People judge whether the dead soul is saved based on the floating situation of the lamp. If the lights are spinning in the water, it is considered to be dragged by ghosts. If the light sinks in the water, it is considered to be saved by the dead soul, and it has been reincarnated. If the lights are drifting far or on the shore, it is considered to have reached the world of the other side, ranking heaven and immortal class. In short, everything is a good wish. The river lights, especially the lamps in the Yellow River. Hequ County in the northwest of Jin is close to the Yellow River. The river is wide and the water flows gentle. On the night of July 15th, men, women, and children in the city gathered in front of the scene in front of the Yellow River bank to watch the river lights. Various colored lights drift in the water, and children stare at their own lights. The old lady's mouth was thinking, and she kept praying. Today's river lamp has become a happy event. On July 15th, folk also prevailed to sacrifice land and crops. Sprinkle the supply into the field. After burning the paper, use the five -color paper cut into broken strips and wrap it around the crops. It is said that hail attacks can be avoided and the big autumn harvest can be obtained. In some places, they also have to go to the Houti Temple for sacrifice. Dingxiang County folklore hangs the head of hemp and valley. Prior to July 15th festival, folk women prevailed for plastic plastic activities, and the Jinbei region was the most intense. A steamed flowers, neighbors to help. First of all, according to the family's real number (including married daughters, son -in -law, grandson, another son, daughter -in -law, grandson, etc.), give everyone a big flower. The flowers for the juniors should be pinched into a flat type, called noodle sheep, and kneeling on the lambs to eat milk, hoping that the juniors will not forget the parental grace of their parents; People, which means that the children of the children are full of children, and the blessing of the blessing; the flowers to the flat generation must be pinched into a fish shape, called noodle fish, which means that it has been more than years. It is not so strict now. It is completely based on the taste of the owner. Sheep, tigers, cattle, fish, rabbits, and people have various shapes. After pinching the flowers per capita, after finishing the squeezing, you must also pinch a lot of flowers, fruits, peaches, Li, lotus, chrysanthemum, plum, etc., and embellishment with flowers, birds, butterflies, dragons, and squirrels. The head is smaller than before, as a gift for relatives and friends. After these noodles are steamed, they pass through five colors and look lifelike. Each one can be called an excellent handicraft. Looking at the face plastic on July 15, it has become a show of a dexterous craftsmanship of farm women's exhibitions.
Mu metary festival and wine
In July 15th of the lunar calendar, the Zhongyuan Festival. The fifteenth day of the ancient Chinese first month was the Yuan Festival, July 15th was the Central Yuan Festival, and on October 15th. After the emergence of Taoism, the gods worshiped include Tianguan, Earth Officer, Water Officer, and match the "three yuan" and "three officials". On the 15th, Xiayuan Water officials were October 15. Therefore, Daodu will set up altars on July 15th. Taoism and Buddhism, on this day's activities, are specific rules and practices. The people's memorial service is relatively free. The offerings are not enough for the ancestors to enjoy the ancestors and the lonely ghosts, those supplies. Because of the formation of folk festivals. "Yan's Family Training" in Northern Qi, "Jingchu" in the Southern Dynasty, "Tokyo Menghua Record", "Mengliang Record" in the Song Dynasty, "Emperor Jingshi Shi Jisheng" and so on Both are mentioned in the Zhongyuan Festival and the Obon Festival. Some books say that a few days before the Chinese Yuan Festival, there were soldiers on the market. When they were sold, they sold fresh melon fruits. There is also the custom of putting lanterns on the water, which means to recruit lonely ghosts in the water to enjoy the sacrifice. Children are playing with paper lanterns, seven or eight feet old, which is eye -catching. Those who go outside the city to sacrifice the tomb are endless, and they are better than the clear festival.
Mu metary festival I knows that there are Zhongyuan Festival, I have seen it in literary works, thinking that it is a folk custom that is popular in the Yellow River Basin. But if you want to come, it is not as authentic as the Yellow River flow. On my feelings, the night of the night should always be fog. In the dim, the ancestors of the ancestors of the ancestors were very attractive under the reflection of the candlelight and incense. , Drive to heaven. Most of the works of adults do not mention what works. I think they are mostly tie the ancestors and children and then cook for them. This is a round scene. The ghost festival should be a happy festival. The real understanding of the customs of the Chinese Yuan Festival is what happened to Singapore. Of course, what I know is only Singapore's Zhongyuan Festival, a Zhongyuan Festival that has nothing to do with the river lamp. The Yuan Festival in Singapore is commonly known as Ghost Festival. In terms of specifications, the Yuan Festival should be the July 15th of the lunar calendar. Because July 15th of the lunar calendar is the Zhongyuan of the age order, the festival on this day is called Zhongzhong Zhongzhong Zhongzhong Zhongzhong. Yuan Festival. Because of Buddhism, the Bon will also be held on July 15th of the lunar calendar, and some places are called "Bon Festival" on this day. The Buddhist attaches great importance to July 15th. On that day, a lot of events are held. "Lighting and taking lights" is a small ritual in it. This ritual is passed to the people to become a mysterious and romantic river lamp. Although the purpose of letting the river lamp is divergent, it is always a bit linked to the ghost. I am very bitter in hell, and I can't find the way to get my life! If there is a dead ghost on this day, you have to get rid of a riverside lantern, you have to get rid of the " The" Put the Lantern in the Buddhist Lantern "by the people to absorb the river lights of the people according to their simple wishes, Zhongyuan The festival crosses the underworld and the borders and comes to Singapore, which has also undergone a lot of changes. You can't find the shadow of the river lights in the Zhongyuan Festival in Singapore. This month, people try not to move as much as possible, do not buy business, and try not to travel. This month's air tickets are also low throughout the year. Some people who do not believe in evil use this opportunity to go abroad. Of course, people who believe in evil are still the majority. July in Singapore's lunar calendar is the hot summer season, but no matter how hot the weather is, people in the swimming pool are always sparse. To avoid evil, they will also pay attention to speaking and try to avoid saying unlucky words. Children are particularly miserable. It is said that children's eyes are particularly spiritual. You can see something that should not be seen. In order to prevent children from being frightened, many parents put their children at home at seven o'clock. Iaren people believe that July 1st is the day when the ghost door is opened. In the future, ghosts can be free to enter and leave the yin and yang. Insert two candles on the grass, and then insert three seven twenty -one incense next to the candle. Put the yin coins prepared in advance, the supply of Buddha spells, sugar tea in front of the candle, and then click on The candle burned incense and worshiped three worships. After worshiping, I took the coin. This burning barrel is the gasoline barrel removed the top cover, and then made a few holes in the side. It is a fresh play that only appeared in recent years. The emergence of the burning barrel is because the government believes that it is too much to clean and it is difficult to clean up the direct -burning paper in front of the candles that had been inserted like before. Therefore, the government will place some incineration buckets in front of the group from January to July for people to burn paper. Some people cannot agree with the concepts of their own burned paper with the mix of others' houses. They have to go to the grocery store to buy small paper buckets for their own use. More people seem to be able to bear the smoke of burning paper, especially the three days of the first day, fifteenth, and twenty -nine days. Essence Many people complained to the government for this, and the government had to persuade everyone to burn less, saying that it was ritual and affection. A company seized this business opportunity and researched a new type of incineration barrel for everyone to try. It is said that the response was good. Maybe next year we will use a new type of incineration barrel worth 1,500 yuan. I heard that the new product is box -shaped, so It should be called an incineration box. Me each household to celebrate the Central Yuan, some Chinese companies will collectively celebrate Zhongyuan. The company's row of the company is bigger than the small households. There are many tributes. There are rice with a whole bag, all kinds of cans, biscuits and fruits. These tributes are placed on a wooden table, and there are several bowls of mouth thick and fragrant in front of the table. What excites the employees is that the boss ordered the incense incense in addition to the ghost brothers to bless the business and ask them to buy four auspicious tickets. These four numbers are shared by the whole company. When buying, there are also knowledge. The most common thing is to buy, buy and eat. It is said that the opportunity is very large. Perhaps the ghost brothers are really a little spiritual.
The most powerful Zhongyuan Qingzan must count the community or hawker center. Essence The main purpose of the singing table is the entertainment ghost brothers. It is said that the early song table was a big drama. Now it has been changed to singing, and most of them are popular songs. Most of the singers of the Zhongyuan Festival singer are not well -known. Because of the appearance fee, the competition is fierce. In order to attract people, female singers are often exposed. , Tight pants and net eye clothes. Although the singer uses the doctrine, there are fewer and fewer people watching the song platform. It does not count the seats left to the ghost brothers in the first few rows, and the rest of the seats are dissatisfied. culture. Of course, there are also a group of songwriting enthusiasts who work hard to sing. Most of them are older. They will turn around the newspaper to check the song information every day and follow the song table. I don't know if there are ghosts running with the song platform, and they don't know if they change from big drama to popular songs, but I don't think that the entertainment ingredients of Ge Terrays are getting less and less, but more and more components of charming people are. In addition to the song table, another event worth mentioning is the Zhongyuan Festival shouting. The bidding was performed at the end of the worship ceremony and half of the Zhongyuan banquet was eaten. The organizers will try to find some small and famous people in the entertainment industry to shout. Their bids are mostly obligations, mainly doing good things, and to promote themselves by the way. Most of the blessings used to call the target are mascots with good colored heads, the most common is golden dragon and yellow pear, as well as ingenuity. For example Come'. The blessing itself is not worthy. The bidder is voted for a good color. Putting the blessing at home is equivalent to bringing good color heads home; the blessing is more lucky on the blessing. Lottery betting. As for the money obtained by the bid, some are used to serve as the cost of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, and some of them donated to welfare institutions such as Renci Hospital. In in recent years, Zhongyuan Qingzan has faced a big problem. First of all, the younger generation influenced by Western culture cannot accept this culture that is very ethnic, although it is rustic, and has no succession in Zhongyuan Qingzan. Secondly, some people suddenly couldn't stand the smoke and song table of burning paper, shouting the underlying noise, and frequently complained to the government. The government also seems to buy these people's accounts. While continuously improving the incineration barrel, this year, it is also clear that the celebration activities must end at half an hour in the previous year before 10.30. As the event ended in advance, the enthusiasts of the song table could not be enjoyed, and the money obtained by the bidding also shrinks greatly. Except for the amount necessary for the second year to celebrate Zhongyuan, there are almost few donations to welfare agencies. This makes people feel better than ghosts, but July is their festival, and the living people have to concession. I I have spent five middle Yuan Festival in Singapore. At the beginning, I was curious, and even a little scared. I gradually fell in love with this festival and learned to worship the Singaporeans. Will come to Singapore to come to this festival. Ghosts are actually not terrible. The terrible part is parting, especially the parting between yin and yang.
Mu Yin Festival Mungeon festival -July 15th of the lunar calendar on the Chinese traditional festival "Zhongyuan Festival". In the south, it is also known as the "ghost festival". However, the Zhongyuan Festival that has so far is on July 14. It is said that at the end of the Song Dynasty, when people were preparing for the festival, Yuan Bing suddenly invaded, so he had to worship his ancestors one day in advance, and the festival was so early. In the day of the holiday, people brought sacrifice and went to the grave to sacrifice their ancestors, similar to the Qingming Festival on the grave. In the feudal era, the local government also ordered the monk Taoist to set up a lonely soulway to sacrifice the death of the deaths. During the Chinese Yuan Festival, people would burn a large amount of paper money.
On July 15th of the lunar calendar, it is "Zhongyuan Festival", also known as the "Obon Festival". Some places are commonly known as "ghost festivals" and "Shi Gu", also known as the Dead Day and July half. "Ghost Festival", commonly known as "July and Half of July" (some areas are thirteen or 14). The ancestors who died of the vulgarity were released by Yan Wang for half a month in early July, so they took the ancestor in early July and sent a ancestor custom in July. When sending the ancestors, the paper money burned a lot to "enjoy the ancestors." At the same time, in the paper seal with the name of the enjoyment of the person, the money paper was burned during sacrifice, which is called "burning bag". Those who have died in the year burned new bags, how much do you do, and those who have passed away for more than one year will burn the old bag. The Yuan Festival originated from the early "July and Half of the July" farmer's bumper harvest to taste the ancestors. In ancient times, people's harvest of agriculture often pinned on the blessing of the gods. If of the Han Dynasty Dong Zhongshu in "Spring and Autumn Fan Lu · Four Festival": "The ancients of the ancients. Xia Yue, Qiu Yue tasted, winter said steaming. "Feng Xun's ancestors were all available in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but" autumn taste "is very important among them. If autumn is the harvest season. People hold a ceremony to sacrifice to the ancestors, make the seasonal good first for God, and then taste the fruits of these labor themselves, and pray for the good harvest of the coming year. Judging from the historical documents, the autumn tasted ancestors' activities have already existed in the pre -Qin era; at first, the date of "autumn taste" was not sure, and it was gradually fixed in mid -July. Hope the day, when the autumn is new. In July, the custom of worshiping ancestors is the product of local culture. The tolerance is more complicated. It is not only a folk autumn tasting ancestral festival, but also the Chinese Yuan Festival of Taoism, the Bon of Buddhism. Three streams together. The people have the tradition of caution and chasing far away. Therefore, the ancestors need to be worshiped. If of the "Puning County Chronicle" in the Qing Dynasty, "the vulgar is called the ancestral test of the soul, and the salty gods and wine are recommended, although there is no poverty." Essence Due to the summer summer, we must change clothes to prevent cold, and "in July Fire, September to be awarded clothes" with the world. In the old days, the Zhongyuan Festival not only had the significance of the dimension of faith, but also at the world of secularness. It was also a festival with high participation and clear entertainment functions.
The fifteenth day of the lunar calendar is the Obon Festival, also known as the Zhongyuan Festival, commonly known as the ghost festival and Shi Gu. The meaning of Zhongyuan is extended from the Lantern Festival. In ancient times, the first month of the first month was called Shangyuan (so the Lantern Festival is also known as the Shangyuan Festival). July was the middle of the year. The Yuan Festival is also known as the Obon Festival. It was a Buddhist ritual in India. Buddhists held the Bon Pot Meeting in order to recommend their ancestors. In the Buddhist scriptures, the "Yulan Pen Sutra" is based on the will of cultivating filial piety to encourage Buddhist disciples.
The story of "Mu Lian Jie Save Mother Er" generally circulates: "There is a lotus monk, the mana is huge. The mother's entrance to the hungry ghost road, that is, to the flames, hunger is too much too much. . Mu Lian could not save his mother, so he asked for advice to the Buddha. In order to talk about the Ben Bon Sutra, he taught the Ben Ben on July 15th to save his mother. "
The China According to this imitation, it is said that it has become the Zhongyuan Festival. However, in addition to setting fast for the monks, it also added activities such as worship and flame mouth. On this day, the mage seat and Shi Gutai were set up in front of Jiekou Village. The mage sector follows the Tibetan King Bodhisattva, who is a ghost of hell ghosts, and a plate of noodles and rice. There are three spirit cards and souls on Shi Gusai. At noon, each households put all the whole pigs, whole sheep, chickens, ducks, goose and various kinds of hair cakes, fruits, melon and fruits on the Schandang. The principal inserts a triangle flag of blue, red, and green on each sacrifice, and the words "Yulan event" and "Manson Kai" are written on the words "Yulan event". The ceremony began in a solemn temple music. Immediately after the mage rang the clock, led the monks to recite various spells and mantras. Then apply the food, sprinkle a plate of peaches and rice towards the Quartet, repeated three times. This ritual is called "Flame Port".
In the evening, each family has to burn incense at the door and insert the incense on the ground. The more, the better, it symbolizes the grain richness, which is called "Buita". In some places, there is a water lamp activity. The so -called water lamp is a lamp on a small wooden board. Most of them are made of lotus -like with colored paper, called "water and dry lamp". According to tradition, water lamps are used to attract those who died unjustly. When the lamp was destroyed, the water lamp also completed the task of leading the injustice through the soul.
The shops were also closed that day and gave the street to ghosts. In the middle of the street, there is a fragrance case every hundred steps. The incense case is provided with fresh fruits and a "ghost bun". Behind the table, there are priests who do n’t understand the ghost songs that people do n’t understand. This ritual is called “Shi Ge”.
The Yuan Festival is the Lantern Festival on earth. "Zhongyuan" came from Shangyuan. People think that the Zhongyuan Festival is a ghost festival, and it should also be opened to celebrate the festival for ghosts. However, there are differences between people and ghosts, so Zhongyuan tensor is different from the upper lamp. People are yang, ghosts are yin; The mysterious underwater is dark, making people think of the legendary ghost hell, and the ghost sinks there. Therefore, the Lantern Lantern is in the land, and the Zhongyuan tension is in the water.
One of the three major ghosts in China in China, The three major ghost festivals in China: 1, Qingming Festival Qingming wants to go to the grave, and at the same time there is a custom of greening. In the past, Qingming was also called the Cold Food Festival. It was a hundred days long. Cao Cao changed to one day. Tang was changed to Qingming three days before Qingming. All fires had to be destroyed. After the cold food, a new fire came out from the palace. [1] Most of the 108th day after the winter solstice [2] (that is, around the first day of March). The willow branches in Qingming, wearing willow caps, kites, swinging thousands, banning fires, grave sweeping, and stepping green, Cuju, Polo Polo, Shooting Willow, Silkworm Flower (a unique folklore of silkworm township (a unique folklore Culture is mainly in the south).
2, Zhongyuan Festival Zhongyuan (July 15th) was originally a day of ancestor worship, and then it was set to Christmas of the Palace, and the Gate of the Earth Palace was in charge of the door of hell. The door of the government is also the day of the opening of the government. The late ancestor can go home to reunite. Therefore, it is the most important one of the three major underworlds in China. To worship the ancestors, go to the grave, and light the lamp as the road to go home. The Taoist View held a grand Dafa Prayer for the auspicious dojo, which is the soul of the deceased. The day of Buddhism is the day of the Ben Bon Conference, and the content is also for the undead. Yulan originally intended to liberate the upside down and from Mulian to save his mother. Izhong Yuan Festival is the Christmas Day of the three officials of the three officials, and Taoism will be oversupply on this day to pull out the soul. Oh.
3, Cold Clothing Festival The first day of the lunar calendar every year, which is called "October", also known as "ancestor festival". For the cold clothes festival. Also known as the Yinyin Festival, this day, pay special attention to the people who died first, saying to send cold clothes. With the Qingming Festival in spring, the mid -to -mid -festival in autumn, and the three "ghost festivals" of the year. In order to avoid being frozen in Yin Cao Difu, this day, people have to burn five -color paper, send them to the cold, and bring warmth to the lonely ghost. On the first day of October, the cold clothes were burned, and the nostalgia of the people of the people today carried the compassion of the deceased. At the same time, this day also marks the arrival of Yan Dong, so it is also the day when parents and lovers are concerned about giving cold clothes for those who care about them.
Zhongyuan Festival is also known as Dead Day and Month. July 15th of the lunar calendar is the Central Yuan Festival. The folks generally launch ancestral ancestral activities. Regardless of the rich and the poor, prepare wine and vegetables and paper money to commemorate the deceased to show the nostalgia for the dead ancestors. The Chinese Yuan Festival is generally seven days, and there are new dead and old dead. The death of the new dead within three years, and the death of the dead three years ago. Superstitious said that the new and old dead had to go home during this time, and also said that the time for the new and old dead to return was different. Therefore, we must pay for it separately. The time to burn paper money was selected to be quiet at night, and sprinkled a few laps in the yard with lime first, saying that the paper money was burned in the lonely ghost in the circle, and then burned a bunch of ground. You can't stop thinking: "Someone came to receive money." In the end, he had to burn a bunch of bunch of them, saying that it was burned to the lonely soul ghost. On the day when the dead people go back, regardless of the rich and poor, they must cook a good meal to respect the dead, also known as "sending the dead".

If you want to care for life, you ca n’t find the way. If there is a dead ghost on this day, you have to take care of a river lamp. " This road from the yin to the yang is very dark.

Call festival
commonly known as ghost festival. Folk traditional festivals. On July 15th of the lunar calendar, there were also on July 14th. On this day, every family worshiped the ancestors, and some had to hold a family banquet to worship the ceremony. The three patrols of the wine showed that the ancestors were finished, and the family sat down again to join the holiday dinner. After breaking the black, carry gunfire, paper money, and fragrant candle, find a secluded river or pond flat, and sprinkle a circle with lime to indicate the restricted area. Then pour some water rice in the circle, burn some paper money, set off firecrackers, send ancestors on the road, and turn back to "Yin Cao Difu". In the past, the folk had to go home through a certain ceremony on the seventh day of July, and for the morning, noon, and fainting every morning, noon, and fainting, it was provided 3 times of tea, until it was returned on July 15. Now, gradually eliminate superstitions, retain the form of commemoration, and commemorate the ancestors.
The middle Yuan Festival is scheduled to be on July 15th of the lunar calendar, commonly known as July and a half. It is said that all the ghosts of the land of the Japanese house are generally carried out in the activities of worshiping ghosts. Anyone who has a new funeral, for example, must be new to the grave, and generally sacrifice the lonely soul ghost in the local area. Therefore, it is a festival centered on ghosts, which is the largest ghost festival in China.
I July was originally Xiaoqiu. There are several crops mature. The people want to worship their ancestors as examples. Song Meng Lao's "Tokyo Menghua Record" Volume: "On the day before the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, buying the leafy leaves (a plant's leaves, with aroma), enjoying the desktop when enjoying the sacrifice, and buying Migu Naizer, which is also a Magua Nest. It is tied to the foot of the table, and it is the meaning of the ancestors of the ancestors. "In July, Xiaoqiu's crops were mature, and the Chinese who pay attention to filial piety should report to the ancestors and ask the ancestors to taste new. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoism made three sessions and five days. Among them, July 7th was Morallay, and the days when the Taoist people who were fixed to the middle of the Association went to the Governance to accept the school. The main content of Wula Day is the ancestor. In July, this ancestor's date of worship fixed the birthday and the corresponding sacrifice date of the Chinese Yuan Dynasty officials on July 15, and fixed on this day.
This Chinese Yuan Festival is not only a Taoist religious festival, but also a folk festival. Three officials worshiped from the beginning of Taoism. The three officials of the first League of the League, namely the official, the earth official, and the water official, which later called it the Emperor of the Three Officials. They each have their own responsibility. The officials of the sky are the blessings of the Yuan Dynasty, the land official is the sin of Zhongyuan, and the water officer calls the Yuanyuan solution. In the Book of Dao, all three officials have to investigate the crime of the school on the crime of rewards and punishments. Among them, the local officials are governed by the prefecture, and of course the focus is on the ghosts of the road. So on this day, all the ghosts will leave the underworld and accept the examination. On this day, Dao Men will set up a routine day to celebrate the birthday of the official official. At the same time, the believers also contributed to set up fast to ask for the ancestors to ask for blessings. This is the main reason for the Chinese Yuan Festival to become a folk festival.
In July 15th is the Buddhist Yulan Pen Festival. "Obon" is the transliteration of Sanskrit. The original meaning is to solve the suspension. It is said that the apprentices of the Buddha are healthy and suffer from the evil before their births. Tell him that the monk of the monks (in China was July 15th) Zhai Monk, but he could save the ghosts from the suffering of hell. According to Buddhist rituals, the summer began in mid -April, that is, entered the temple to clear the repair. It was not allowed to go out during the day. It ended on July 15th. Chinese Buddhists created the "Yulan Pen Sutra" to promote the matter, and later formed the custom of setting up a ghost to set up a ghost. In this way, the characteristics of the Chinese Yuan Festival are the integration of the two religions of the Taoism. The activities of the ancestors worshiping ancestors, worshiping the lonely soul, surpassing the dead, and setting up ghosts are routine to become the largest "ghost festival" in the people.
The folk activities of the Yuan Dynasty, around the ancestral worship and wild ghosts, there are city gods who have a patrolling (dead ghosts), Taoist views and Buddhist temples hold Pudu Fa conferences, surpass the undead, and the folks are more new to the new grave. As the Chinese come to Southeast Asia and other regions, they also bring the customs of the Chinese Yuan Festival to those places. The Chinese Yuan event in Penang, Malaysia has a wide range of mass foundations, well -known. Liu Zhongyu

Muragun Festival
On July 15th, Taoism is called the Zhongyuan Festival, Buddhism is called the Yulan Festival, and the old folks are called ghost festivals. For Tujili, the people of Shanxi today, especially the Jinbei people, renamed it as the surface plastic festival. Cultural connotation is very rich.
The source of the Middle Yuan Festival should be related to the ancestral ancestors in ancient my country. After the prevalence of Taoism, it was traditionally established and created the three official gods of heaven, earth, and water. It is said that the birthday of Tianguan is on the 15th of the first month, called the Yuan Festival. Its main responsibility is to bless the world. The birthday of the land official is on July 15th, which is called Zhongyuan Festival. Its main responsibility is for the sin for the world. The birthday of the water official is on October 15th, which is called the 10,000 yuan festival. Its main responsibility is to solve the world.
This compete with Taoism, and Buddhism determines that July 15th is the Obon Festival. Buddhism advocates compassion into goodness. In the three months of the rainy season of ancient India, Buddhist rituals banned monks and nuns from going out, saying that it was easy to hurt plants, wood, insect ants, and required monks to study in the temple to study and receive support. This period is called the settlement period. After Buddhism is passed on to my country, according to the seasonal changes in our country, it is stipulated that the settlement period is from April 16th to July 15th. Later, according to the scriptures, the Buddhist legends of "Save Mother Save Mother" were produced. The idea was Mu Lian, a disciple of Buddha Shakyamuni, and saw the dead mother suffering in hell and suffered. If you make every way to save each other, you have failed, so he had to ask the Buddha. Sakyamuni explained that his mother had a great crime before his lifetime, and he could be saved by the power of one person. He told Mu Lian to the day of July 15th. The public, with the help of the monks, can relieve their mother's suffering. Mu Yan even instructed to do it, and it really worked. This kind of Buddhist activity is known as the Obon. Yulan is the transliteration of ancient Indian Sanskrit, which means to hang upside down and describe the suffering of the dead. The pot is Chinese, which refers to the vessels that are placed in the offerings. Obon refers to such Buddhist activities, which can liberate the suffering of the dead.
This Buddhism has evolved on July 15th into the "Filial Filial Day" on July 15 with the help of the Confucian tradition's "filial piety" etiquette. Not only has the recognition of traditional culture in my country, but also is generally welcomed by official folks, so it has the greatest influence on July 15th folk activities.
The Buddhist world of Wutai Mountain, on July 15th, will hold the Ben Pen Penfedo meeting as usual, and read the scriptures to surpass the undead. Some of the people around them should go to the temple to set up confession, sound, pray, and pray for their ancestors.
In in the folk, every family must go to the grave to commemorate the ancestors.
The Jinnan area is used to using paper to make lights and burned in front of the grave, which means that the deadline is bright. The food of the ancestors is like a bun. If the ancestors died for three years, the children would take off their filial piety on this day and change to the clothes, commonly known as filial piety.
It Jinbei Grave to commemorate the ancestors, prey of making ravioli, flour, round, and a red dot in the middle. After the supply, the paper is burned, and when you go home, you must pull a few valleys and numbs from the ground, wrap it with green note, stand in front of the window, and worship the noodles. After the section, the roof was moved. In the roots, the ears were exposed to the outside, called picking Ma Valley. The popularity of folk is to bless the grains. However, the rules of the noodle people seem to be the remains of early people's customs.
In July 15 to memorize the dead, the most solemn is the river lamp. The people are used to using wooden boards and five -color paper to make various colored lights and make candles. Some people also show the names of the dead on the lamp. Commercial banks and other units are used to making a colorful water boat, called Dafa ship. Legend has it that all the undead can be surpassed to the ideal world. Being a person with a Zen stick on the boat symbolizes the consecutive. Some are also made into Guanyin Bodhisattva. At night, put the paper boat and paper lights in the river to let it drift in water. People judge whether the dead soul is saved based on the floating situation of the lamp. If the lights are spinning in the water, it is considered to be dragged by ghosts. If the light sinks in the water, it is considered to be saved by the dead soul, and it has been reincarnated. If the lights are drifting far or on the shore, it is considered to have reached the world of the other side, ranking heaven and immortal class. In short, everything is a good wish.
The river lights, especially the lamps in the Yellow River. Hequ County in the northwest of Jin is close to the Yellow River. The river is wide and the water flows gentle. On the night of July 15th, men, women, and children in the city gathered in front of the scene in front of the Yellow River bank to watch the river lights. Various colored lights drift in the water, and children stare at their own lights. The old lady's mouth was thinking, and she kept praying. Today's river lamp has become a happy event.
On July 15th, folk also prevailed to sacrifice land and crops. Sprinkle the supply into the field. After burning the paper, use the five -color paper cut into broken strips and wrap it around the crops. It is said that hail attacks can be avoided and the big autumn harvest can be obtained. In some places, they also have to go to the Houti Temple for sacrifice. Dingxiang County folklore hangs the head of hemp and valley.
Prior to July 15th festival, folk women prevailed for plastic plastic activities, and the Jinbei region was the most intense. A steamed flowers, neighbors to help. First of all, according to the family's real number (including married daughters, son -in -law, grandson, another son, daughter -in -law, grandson, etc.), give everyone a big flower. The flowers for the juniors should be pinched into a flat type, called noodle sheep, and kneeling on the lambs to eat milk, hoping that the juniors will not forget the parental grace of their parents; People, which means that the children of the children are full of children, and the blessing of the blessing; the flowers to the flat generation must be pinched into a fish shape, called noodle fish, which means that it has been more than years. It is not so strict now. It is completely based on the taste of the owner. Sheep, tigers, cattle, fish, rabbits, and people have various shapes. After pinching the flowers per capita, after finishing the squeezing, you must also pinch a lot of flowers, fruits, peaches, Li, lotus, chrysanthemum, plum, etc., and embellishment with flowers, birds, butterflies, dragons, and squirrels. The head is smaller than before, as a gift for relatives and friends. After these noodles are steamed, they pass through five colors and look lifelike. Each one can be called an excellent handicraft. Looking at the face plastic on July 15, it has become a show of a dexterous craftsmanship of farm women's exhibitions.

In July 15th of the lunar calendar, the Zhongyuan Festival. The fifteenth day of the ancient Chinese first month was the Yuan Festival, July 15th was the Central Yuan Festival, and on October 15th.

On the 15th, Xiayuan Water officials were October 15. Therefore, Daodu will set up altars on July 15th. Taoism and Buddhism, on this day's activities, are specific rules and practices. The people's memorial service is relatively free. The offerings are not enough for the ancestors to enjoy the ancestors and the lonely ghosts, those supplies. Because of the formation of folk festivals. "Yan's Family Training" in Northern Qi, "Jingchu" in the Southern Dynasty, "Tokyo Menghua Record", "Mengliang Record" in the Song Dynasty, "Emperor Jingshi Shi Jisheng" and so on Both are mentioned in the Zhongyuan Festival and the Obon Festival. Some books say that a few days before the Chinese Yuan Festival, there were soldiers on the market. When they were sold, they sold fresh melon fruits. There is also the custom of putting lanterns on the water, which means to recruit lonely ghosts in the water to enjoy the sacrifice. Children are playing with paper lanterns, seven or eight feet old, which is eye -catching. Those who go outside the city to sacrifice the tomb are endless, and they are better than the clear festival.
Mu metary festival
I knows that there are Zhongyuan Festival, I have seen it in literary works, thinking that it is a folk custom that is popular in the Yellow River Basin. But if you want to come, it is not as authentic as the Yellow River flow. On my feelings, the night of the night should always be fog. In the dim, the ancestors of the ancestors of the ancestors were very attractive under the reflection of the candlelight and incense. , Drive to heaven. Most of the works of adults do not mention what works. I think they are mostly tie the ancestors and children and then cook for them. This is a round scene. The ghost festival should be a happy festival.
The real understanding of the customs of the Chinese Yuan Festival is what happened to Singapore. Of course, what I know is only Singapore's Zhongyuan Festival, a Zhongyuan Festival that has nothing to do with the river lamp.
The Yuan Festival in Singapore is commonly known as Ghost Festival. In terms of specifications, the Yuan Festival should be the July 15th of the lunar calendar. Because July 15th of the lunar calendar is the Zhongyuan of the age order, the festival on this day is called Zhongzhong Zhongzhong Zhongzhong Zhongzhong. Yuan Festival. Because of Buddhism, the Bon will also be held on July 15th of the lunar calendar, and some places are called "Bon Festival" on this day. The Buddhist attaches great importance to July 15th. On that day, a lot of events are held. "Lighting and taking lights" is a small ritual in it. This ritual is passed to the people to become a mysterious and romantic river lamp. Although the purpose of letting the river lamp is divergent, it is always a bit linked to the ghost. I am very bitter in hell, and I can't find the way to get my life! If there is a dead ghost on this day, you have to get rid of a riverside lantern, you have to get rid of the "
The" Put the Lantern in the Buddhist Lantern "by the people to absorb the river lights of the people according to their simple wishes, Zhongyuan The festival crosses the underworld and the borders and comes to Singapore, which has also undergone a lot of changes. You can't find the shadow of the river lights in the Zhongyuan Festival in Singapore. This month, people try not to move as much as possible, do not buy business, and try not to travel. This month's air tickets are also low throughout the year. Some people who do not believe in evil use this opportunity to go abroad. Of course, people who believe in evil are still the majority. July in Singapore's lunar calendar is the hot summer season, but no matter how hot the weather is, people in the swimming pool are always sparse. To avoid evil, they will also pay attention to speaking and try to avoid saying unlucky words. Children are particularly miserable. It is said that children's eyes are particularly spiritual. You can see something that should not be seen. In order to prevent children from being frightened, many parents put their children at home at seven o'clock.
Iaren people believe that July 1st is the day when the ghost door is opened. In the future, ghosts can be free to enter and leave the yin and yang. Insert two candles on the grass, and then insert three seven twenty -one incense next to the candle. Put the yin coins prepared in advance, the supply of Buddha spells, sugar tea in front of the candle, and then click on The candle burned incense and worshiped three worships. After worshiping, I took the coin. This burning barrel is the gasoline barrel removed the top cover, and then made a few holes in the side. It is a fresh play that only appeared in recent years. The emergence of the burning barrel is because the government believes that it is too much to clean and it is difficult to clean up the direct -burning paper in front of the candles that had been inserted like before. Therefore, the government will place some incineration buckets in front of the group from January to July for people to burn paper. Some people cannot agree with the concepts of their own burned paper with the mix of others' houses. They have to go to the grocery store to buy small paper buckets for their own use. More people seem to be able to bear the smoke of burning paper, especially the three days of the first day, fifteenth, and twenty -nine days. Essence Many people complained to the government for this, and the government had to persuade everyone to burn less, saying that it was ritual and affection. A company seized this business opportunity and researched a new type of incineration barrel for everyone to try. It is said that the response was good. Maybe next year we will use a new type of incineration barrel worth 1,500 yuan. I heard that the new product is box -shaped, so It should be called an incineration box.
Me each household to celebrate the Central Yuan, some Chinese companies will collectively celebrate Zhongyuan. The company's row of the company is bigger than the small households. There are many tributes. There are rice with a whole bag, all kinds of cans, biscuits and fruits. These tributes are placed on a wooden table, and there are several bowls of mouth thick and fragrant in front of the table. What excites the employees is that the boss ordered the incense incense in addition to the ghost brothers to bless the business and ask them to buy four auspicious tickets. These four numbers are shared by the whole company. When buying, there are also knowledge. The most common thing is to buy, buy and eat. It is said that the opportunity is very large. Perhaps the ghost brothers are really a little spiritual.
The most powerful Zhongyuan Qingzan must count the community or hawker center. Essence The main purpose of the singing table is the entertainment ghost brothers. It is said that the early song table was a big drama. Now it has been changed to singing, and most of them are popular songs. Most of the singers of the Zhongyuan Festival singer are not well -known. Because of the appearance fee, the competition is fierce. In order to attract people, female singers are often exposed. , Tight pants and net eye clothes. Although the singer uses the doctrine, there are fewer and fewer people watching the song platform. It does not count the seats left to the ghost brothers in the first few rows, and the rest of the seats are dissatisfied. culture. Of course, there are also a group of songwriting enthusiasts who work hard to sing. Most of them are older. They will turn around the newspaper to check the song information every day and follow the song table. I don't know if there are ghosts running with the song platform, and they don't know if they change from big drama to popular songs, but I don't think that the entertainment ingredients of Ge Terrays are getting less and less, but more and more components of charming people are.
In addition to the song table, another event worth mentioning is the Zhongyuan Festival shouting. The bidding was performed at the end of the worship ceremony and half of the Zhongyuan banquet was eaten. The organizers will try to find some small and famous people in the entertainment industry to shout. Their bids are mostly obligations, mainly doing good things, and to promote themselves by the way. Most of the blessings used to call the target are mascots with good colored heads, the most common is golden dragon and yellow pear, as well as ingenuity. For example Come'. The blessing itself is not worthy. The bidder is voted for a good color. Putting the blessing at home is equivalent to bringing good color heads home; the blessing is more lucky on the blessing. Lottery betting. As for the money obtained by the bid, some are used to serve as the cost of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, and some of them donated to welfare institutions such as Renci Hospital.
In in recent years, Zhongyuan Qingzan has faced a big problem. First of all, the younger generation influenced by Western culture cannot accept this culture that is very ethnic, although it is rustic, and has no succession in Zhongyuan Qingzan. Secondly, some people suddenly couldn't stand the smoke and song table of burning paper, shouting the underlying noise, and frequently complained to the government. The government also seems to buy these people's accounts. While continuously improving the incineration barrel, this year, it is also clear that the celebration activities must end at half an hour in the previous year before 10.30. As the event ended in advance, the enthusiasts of the song table could not be enjoyed, and the money obtained by the bidding also shrinks greatly. Except for the amount necessary for the second year to celebrate Zhongyuan, there are almost few donations to welfare agencies. This makes people feel better than ghosts, but July is their festival, and the living people have to concession.
I I have spent five middle Yuan Festival in Singapore. At the beginning, I was curious, and even a little scared. I gradually fell in love with this festival and learned to worship the Singaporeans. Will come to Singapore to come to this festival. Ghosts are actually not terrible. The terrible part is parting, especially the parting between yin and yang.
Mu Yin Festival
Mungeon festival -July 15th of the lunar calendar on the Chinese traditional festival "Zhongyuan Festival". In the south, it is also known as the "ghost festival". However, the Zhongyuan Festival that has so far is on July 14. It is said that at the end of the Song Dynasty, when people were preparing for the festival, Yuan Bing suddenly invaded, so he had to worship his ancestors one day in advance, and the festival was so early.
In the day of the holiday, people brought sacrifice and went to the grave to sacrifice their ancestors, similar to the Qingming Festival on the grave. In the feudal era, the local government also ordered the monk Taoist to set up a lonely soulway to sacrifice the death of the deaths. During the Chinese Yuan Festival, people would burn a large amount of paper money.
On July 15th of the lunar calendar, it is "Zhongyuan Festival", also known as the "Obon Festival". Some places are commonly known as "ghost festivals" and "Shi Gu", also known as the Dead Day and July half.
"Ghost Festival", commonly known as "July and Half of July" (some areas are thirteen or 14). The ancestors who died of the vulgarity were released by Yan Wang for half a month in early July, so they took the ancestor in early July and sent a ancestor custom in July. When sending the ancestors, the paper money burned a lot to "enjoy the ancestors." At the same time, in the paper seal with the name of the enjoyment of the person, the money paper was burned during sacrifice, which is called "burning bag". Those who have died in the year burned new bags, how much do you do, and those who have passed away for more than one year will burn the old bag.
The Yuan Festival originated from the early "July and Half of the July" farmer's bumper harvest to taste the ancestors. In ancient times, people's harvest of agriculture often pinned on the blessing of the gods.
If of the Han Dynasty Dong Zhongshu in "Spring and Autumn Fan Lu · Four Festival": "The ancients of the ancients. Xia Yue, Qiu Yue tasted, winter said steaming. "Feng Xun's ancestors were all available in spring, summer, autumn and winter, but" autumn taste "is very important among them.
If autumn is the harvest season. People hold a ceremony to sacrifice to the ancestors, make the seasonal good first for God, and then taste the fruits of these labor themselves, and pray for the good harvest of the coming year. Judging from the historical documents, the autumn tasted ancestors' activities have already existed in the pre -Qin era; at first, the date of "autumn taste" was not sure, and it was gradually fixed in mid -July. Hope the day, when the autumn is new.
In July, the custom of worshiping ancestors is the product of local culture. The tolerance is more complicated. It is not only a folk autumn tasting ancestral festival, but also the Chinese Yuan Festival of Taoism, the Bon of Buddhism. Three streams together. The people have the tradition of caution and chasing far away. Therefore, the ancestors need to be worshiped.
If of the "Puning County Chronicle" in the Qing Dynasty, "the vulgar is called the ancestral test of the soul, and the salty gods and wine are recommended, although there is no poverty." Essence Due to the summer summer, we must change clothes to prevent cold, and "in July Fire, September to be awarded clothes" with the world. In the old days, the Zhongyuan Festival not only had the significance of the dimension of faith, but also at the world of secularness. It was also a festival with high participation and clear entertainment functions.
The fifteenth day of the lunar calendar is the Obon Festival, also known as the Zhongyuan Festival, commonly known as the ghost festival and Shi Gu. The meaning of Zhongyuan is extended from the Lantern Festival. In ancient times, the first month of the first month was called Shangyuan (so the Lantern Festival is also known as the Shangyuan Festival). July was the middle of the year.
The Yuan Festival is also known as the Obon Festival. It was a Buddhist ritual in India. Buddhists held the Bon Pot Meeting in order to recommend their ancestors. In the Buddhist scriptures, the "Yulan Pen Sutra" is based on the will of cultivating filial piety to encourage Buddhist disciples.
The story of "Mu Lian Jie Save Mother Er" generally circulates: "There is a lotus monk, the mana is huge. The mother's entrance to the hungry ghost road, that is, to the flames, hunger is too much too much. . Mu Lian could not save his mother, so he asked for advice to the Buddha. In order to talk about the Ben Bon Sutra, he taught the Ben Ben on July 15th to save his mother. "
The China According to this imitation, it is said that it has become the Zhongyuan Festival. However, in addition to setting fast for the monks, it also added activities such as worship and flame mouth. On this day, the mage seat and Shi Gutai were set up in front of Jiekou Village. The mage sector follows the Tibetan King Bodhisattva, who is a ghost of hell ghosts, and a plate of noodles and rice. There are three spirit cards and souls on Shi Gusai. At noon, each households put all the whole pigs, whole sheep, chickens, ducks, goose and various kinds of hair cakes, fruits, melon and fruits on the Schandang. The principal inserts a triangle flag of blue, red, and green on each sacrifice, and the words "Yulan event" and "Manson Kai" are written on the words "Yulan event". The ceremony began in a solemn temple music. Immediately after the mage rang the clock, led the monks to recite various spells and mantras. Then apply the food, sprinkle a plate of peaches and rice towards the Quartet, repeated three times. This ritual is called "Flame Port".
In the evening, each family has to burn incense at the door and insert the incense on the ground. The more, the better, it symbolizes the grain richness, which is called "Buita". In some places, there is a water lamp activity. The so -called water lamp is a lamp on a small wooden board. Most of them are made of lotus -like with colored paper, called "water and dry lamp". According to tradition, water lamps are used to attract those who died unjustly. When the lamp was destroyed, the water lamp also completed the task of leading the injustice through the soul.
The shops were also closed that day and gave the street to ghosts. In the middle of the street, there is a fragrance case every hundred steps. The incense case is provided with fresh fruits and a "ghost bun". Behind the table, there are priests who do n’t understand the ghost songs that people do n’t understand. This ritual is called “Shi Ge”.
The Yuan Festival is the Lantern Festival on earth. "Zhongyuan" came from Shangyuan. People think that the Zhongyuan Festival is a ghost festival, and it should also be opened to celebrate the festival for ghosts. However, there are differences between people and ghosts, so Zhongyuan tensor is different from the upper lamp. People are yang, ghosts are yin; The mysterious underwater is dark, making people think of the legendary ghost hell, and the ghost sinks there. Therefore, the Lantern Lantern is in the land, and the Zhongyuan tension is in the water.
One of the three major ghosts in China in China,
The three major ghost festivals in China:
1, Qingming Festival
Qingming wants to go to the grave, and at the same time there is a custom of greening. In the past, Qingming was also called the Cold Food Festival. It was a hundred days long.

The door of the government is also the day of the opening of the government. The late ancestor can go home to reunite. Therefore, it is the most important one of the three major underworlds in China. To worship the ancestors, go to the grave, and light the lamp as the road to go home. The Taoist View held a grand Dafa Prayer for the auspicious dojo, which is the soul of the deceased.
The day of Buddhism is the day of the Ben Bon Conference, and the content is also for the undead. Yulan originally intended to liberate the upside down and from Mulian to save his mother.

The first day of the lunar calendar every year, which is called "October", also known as "ancestor festival". For the cold clothes festival. Also known as the Yinyin Festival, this day, pay special attention to the people who died first, saying to send cold clothes. With the Qingming Festival in spring, the mid -to -mid -festival in autumn, and the three "ghost festivals" of the year. In order to avoid being frozen in Yin Cao Difu, this day, people have to burn five -color paper, send them to the cold, and bring warmth to the lonely ghost. On the first day of October, the cold clothes were burned, and the nostalgia of the people of the people today carried the compassion of the deceased. At the same time, this day also marks the arrival of Yan Dong, so it is also the day when parents and lovers are concerned about giving cold clothes for those who care about them.
Zhongyuan Festival is also known as Dead Day and Month. July 15th of the lunar calendar is the Central Yuan Festival. The folks generally launch ancestral ancestral activities. Regardless of the rich and the poor, prepare wine and vegetables and paper money to commemorate the deceased to show the nostalgia for the dead ancestors. The Chinese Yuan Festival is generally seven days, and there are new dead and old dead. The death of the new dead within three years, and the death of the dead three years ago. Superstitious said that the new and old dead had to go home during this time, and also said that the time for the new and old dead to return was different. Therefore, we must pay for it separately. The time to burn paper money was selected to be quiet at night, and sprinkled a few laps in the yard with lime first, saying that the paper money was burned in the lonely ghost in the circle, and then burned a bunch of ground. You can't stop thinking: "Someone came to receive money." In the end, he had to burn a bunch of bunch of them, saying that it was burned to the lonely soul ghost.
