It is generally believed that July 14 is the day when the gates of hell are wide open, so few people go out at night. This is just a one-sided idea. In fact, the ghost gate was opened and closed before midnight on July 14, that is, before July 15 12. According to ancient records, this time should be the deadline for ghosts to return to the underworld.
The official opening date of the gate of hell should be the second day of the seventh lunar month. On this night, nine caves in all cities around the world will be opened, and all ghosts can go in and out freely and enjoy the offerings prepared by the world for them until the early morning of July 15 12. On the eighth day of the first month of the following year, there are still 14 days to wait until the gate of hell is reopened and travel around the world of three thousand flowers. Those who want to offer sacrifices should offer sacrifices on the second day of the seventh month, or their ancestors will be hungry for a few days. Maybe they will think you are unfilial when they see the offerings given to the seven fairies on the seventh day of July, and they only know how to marry and forget their ancestors.
On the eighth day of the first month of the following year, that is, the day after the festival, the gate of hell will be opened again, allowing ghosts to travel around the world again. Probably these two gates of hell are wide open, that is, the cold in hell and the summer holidays.
The 14th day of the seventh lunar month is a traditional Ghost Festival in China, also called Yulan Festival and Zhongyuan Festival. Because July belongs to Kun, it is divination in gossip, and according to past experience, this month is the month most prone to strange things, so it gradually evolved into the day when the gates of hell opened in July.

Every year, the 14th day of the seventh lunar month is the Ghost Festival in China-it is renamed "Magnolia Festival".
According to legend, the seventh month of the lunar calendar is a "ghost month". The first day of July is the day when the "Hell's Gate" opens wide. During the period from July 1 day when the gate of hell opens to the 30th day when the gate of hell closes, lonely souls in the underworld will rush to death and wander anywhere where people can find something to eat. Therefore, people hold "Purdue" in July by chanting. In order to popularize the original ghosts, I am afraid that they will bring disasters to the community, or pray for ghosts to help cure diseases and protect the safety of their homes.
Taoism says:
Taoist festivals are divided into three times throughout the year (collectively referred to as "Sanyuan"). The origin of the Orchid Festival is to express a wide range of love.
The fifteenth day of the first month is called Shangyuan.
Mainly to hold a blessing ceremony.
July 15 is called "Central Plains".
Forgive the sins of the dead.
Zhongyuan ceremony is to atone for the dead, but it can never completely alleviate the sin, just a little. I hope they can rest in peace in the dry days.
1October15th is called "Xia Yuan" to relieve bad luck for those who have made mistakes.
During the ceremony, they will not only turn over for the dead souls, but also save their friends from those who died for their country and died in battle. The sesame oil money obtained in the ceremony is mainly used to buy sacrifices.
Buddhist allusions
There is an allusion to the origin of "Yulan Festival". It is said that Buddha Sakyamuni received ten disciples when he was alive. One of them is Mulian, a yogi, whose parents died before he reached the Tao. Because Mulian was very concerned about her dead mother, he used his eyes to see how her mother lived in the underworld. It turns out that they have become hungry ghosts, have no food or drink, and are in a poor situation.
Mu Lian felt very sad after reading it, so she sent her mother something to eat with her own magic power. Unfortunately, as soon as the food was delivered to the mouth, it immediately turned into a flame. Mu Lian was very sad after seeing this situation, so he told Sakyamuni about it. The Buddha taught him that his mother planted many sins when she was alive, so she fell into the hungry ghost road after her death and was beyond redemption. This evil obstacle cannot be solved by him alone, so she must gather.
Later, this legend has been spread to later generations and gradually formed a folk custom. Every year in the middle of the seventh lunar month, people will slaughter chickens and ducks, burn incense and clothes, and worship the hungry ghosts coming out of the underworld, so as to resolve grievances and avoid harming the world. Over time, the custom of Halloween was formed.
Therefore, every year in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, people will kill chickens and ducks, burn incense and clothes, and worship the hungry ghosts who come out of the underworld to resolve grievances and avoid harming the world.
Over time, there was the Orchid Festival.
In July of the lunar calendar, China is used to calling it Ghost Moon, which means that the door of death is always open this month, and ghosts can travel around the world. Universality is a universal meaning. Degree means that all beings who have fallen into the three evil ways leave as soon as possible, surpass the three good ways, and even surpass the western paradise to enjoy great happiness. The so-called "three evil ways" refers to the early sentient beings escaping from the animal way, the hungry ghost way and the hell way. The Three Good Taoism refers to heaven, humanity and Asura.
