How to sacrifice in July and a half?

In different parts of China, the Ghost Festival in July and a half is combined with other ancient sacrificial activities and festivals, and some peculiar manifestations have evolved. For example, in the northeast corner of the northern Shaanxi Plateau, people sacrifice in July and a half, which is like a primitive totem and an alien with a long neck.

On the first day of the seventh lunar month, women began to make noodles. On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, these noodles are divided into men and women, and they are all eaten by people. Some folklorists believe that the peculiar ghost festival sacrifice in this area is actually related to the ancient agricultural sacrifice-Gu Mu Festival.

On the other hand, Weihai, the tip of Liaodong Peninsula in the north, and Lingshui, the southwest corner of Hainan Island in the south, adopt different ways to appease the lost souls. From the first day of July to the fifteenth day of July, Lingshui people raise huge sky lanterns every night, because they think that the soul is in the sky and needs to be illuminated. Weihai people, also facing the sea, use sea lanterns to pay homage to the souls of fishermen at sea.

In China, which has a vast territory and rich products, the origin of Ghost Festival in July and 30th is complicated, and the customs and forms in different places are also different. However, whatever the form, the simple concept of retribution in China people's thinking is reflected in it: how I treat the dead now, how I will treat them after I die-how I treat my ancestors, and how future generations will treat me. Imagination of the unknown and conjecture of the state of the soul have developed different forms of romanticism according to different regions.
