What should I do when I meet the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Don't worry too much, just be careful when you go out! The Mid-Autumn Festival should just remind us that we can't really travel or something! However, you don't have to pay attention only when you go out on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Generally, you should pay more attention to your behavior when you go out to stay in a hotel or stay out at night. There is no need to discuss the existence of the so-called another world, or the mystery and belief of supernatural problems!

Don't be too unreasonable in everything, I think everything should be safe! The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. Many friends get chills at the mention of this day and are afraid to leave at night. But "Ghost Festival" is not directly taboo and unlucky in traditional culture. Sacrificial activities in many places are not only cultural heritage, but also very interesting and worth seeing. Looking around the world, many countries regard Ghost Festival as a celebration.

I always can't tell the difference between Mid-Autumn Festival and Magnolia Festival, but I thought they were two festivals. In fact, Mid-Autumn Festival and Orchid Festival are what we usually call Ghost Festival, but one comes from Taoism and the other from Buddhism. Yulan Festival originated from the story of Mulian saving his mother in Buddhist Tripitaka, emphasizing filial piety. It happens that the Ghost Festival of Taoism, a local religion in China, also falls on this day, so the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is what we call Ghost Festival. Orchid Festival is the longest and largest festival in Hong Kong. Every year in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, many organizations hold a one-day to five-day Magnolia Victory Meeting, with a total of more than 100, among which the Magnolia Victory Meeting in chaozhou people is the largest.

Magnolia Festival is very particular, and it can be classified into Chaozhou, Helao and Guangfu. In ancient times, there were many customs. People will make evocation banners, make sacrifices with pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and other fruits, insert paper flags on the sacrifices, and write the words "Yulan Festival, Manna Gate Open". The ceremony was very solemn.
