Don't you usually go out in July of the lunar calendar?

The Mid-Autumn Festival in July of the lunar calendar is forbidden to travel, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is on July 15th, which was originally a festival to sacrifice the souls of ancestors and forgive the sins of local officials. However, there is a saying among the people that July is a ghost month. Yin qi is heavier at night and in the wild, especially around the Mid-Autumn Festival, especially on the night of July 14.

According to legend, from July 1st every year, the King of Yan ordered the gates of hell to be opened wide, so that the ghosts who suffered and were imprisoned in hell all the year round could walk out of hell, enjoy human blood and food for a short time, and didn't close the gates of ghosts until July 30th. This month is considered unlucky, neither getting married nor moving.
