July 13

Legend has it that July 13 is this day. Every year from July 1st, the Prince of Yan ordered the gates of hell to be opened wide, so that the ghosts who have suffered and been imprisoned in hell all the year round can get out of hell, get a short wandering and enjoy human blood. Therefore, people call July a ghost month, and this month is considered an unlucky month. They neither get married nor move.

Every year, the 14th/15th day of the seventh lunar month is Magnolia Festival, also known as Mid-Autumn Festival, July 30th or Ghost Festival. In the past, people prepared some vegetables, wine, rice, gold, silver, clothes and paper at the intersection on this night to offer sacrifices to ghosts and gods.

Lunar July 14/ 15 is the biggest festival in the underworld-Ghost Festival, also known as Zhongyuan Festival or Arahara Festival, and it is one of the three important festivals in the underworld in China. There is a folk legend that the Lantern Festival is celebrated in the underworld and the Ghost Festival is celebrated in the underworld. It is said that on that day, Yan Xihui will spend the festive season with ghosts dressed in costumes. Let us living people bless them together and wish people in another world all their wishes come true and enjoy the happiness that this world has not had time to enjoy. Therefore, many local festivals in our country will hold activities such as offering sacrifices, chanting Buddha, sweeping graves, reviewing, enjoying flowers and fishing to celebrate.

Ghost Festival originated from the story of Manglietia's rescue of mother: "People with Manglietia monks have great strength. His mother fell into the hungry ghost road, and the food mouth turned into flames. Hunger was too bitter. Unable to save her mother, Manglietia asked the Buddha for advice. In order to talk about the Lanpen Sutra, he taught July 15 to be a Lanpen to save his mother. " It is said that at that time, after experiencing all kinds of hardships in the underworld, Manglietia met her dead mother Liu and found that she was tortured by a group of hungry ghosts. Manglietia tried to give her a bowl of vegetable rice, but the vegetable rice was taken away by the hungry ghost. Manglietia had to ask the Buddha for help. The Buddha was moved by Manglietia's filial piety and gave him the Lanjing. According to the instructions, Manglietia dedicated a rare fruit vegetarian meal to her mother on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. The hungry mother finally got the food. Buddhists hold a grand "bonsai" every year to commemorate the filial piety of Manglietia, which is what we now call "Ghost Festival".

According to the book, on this day in ancient times, people would set up a magician's seat and a stone drum platform in front of Jiekou Village in advance. There is a bodhisattva in front of the mage's seat, and the earth treasure king passes through the underworld. Here is a dish of peach rice. Shigu stood on the stage, holding three spiritual cards and evocative complex items in his hand. After noon, families put whole pigs, whole sheep, chickens, ducks and geese and various cakes, fruits and melons on the stone drum stage. The person in charge inserted a triangular paper flag of blue, red and green on each sacrifice, and wrote the words "Yulan Festival" and "Manna Gate Open". The ceremony began with solemn temple music. Then, the mage rang the bell and led the monks in the seat to recite various spells and mantras. Then feed, sprinkle a plate of peaches and rice in all directions and repeat three times. This ceremony is called the opening ceremony. Wang Kaitai, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote a poem: "The Dojo is full of ghosts, and the original ancient meaning of Magnolia still exists. However, it is strange that the red plaque is attached to the door, and the meat mountain wine sea celebrates the Central Plains. " It describes the Halloween customs along the southeast coast of China.

It can be seen that "Ghost Festival" is due to the filial piety of traditional virtues. Nowadays, people in northern China still burn paper money on this day to pay homage to their ancestors who died young and express their thoughts for their loved ones. Although the sacrificial way is simple, it basically retains the simple meaning of Ghost Festival. Because of the call of blood, the extension of feelings and the reminder of one's future, Ghost Festival is endowed with rich humanistic connotation. Even if the years are different and the burned gifts are different, the living will never finish reading endless grief and deep nostalgia for their distant relatives. However, "people of different ages have different feelings about this special festival, because the future festival is coming to them mercilessly, from obscurity to clarity, from missing to fear, from fear to calmness. When they miss the people of the past, they are actually thinking about their experiences, contents, ways and pursuits in today's life."

On July 14/ 15, the gate of hell opened wide. Whether it's burning paper money to send blessings, holding daisies to mourn, offering sacrifices to ancestors on the Internet, or putting out river lanterns, today's living people miss the past and send blessings to their ancestors together. This is the spontaneity of human spirit, the extension of feelings and the most basic belief. And at the same time, "the living should cherish every day, not be ashamed of society and friends, and not be ashamed of their loved ones who have left forever." Because, one day we will meet them. At that time, you can proudly say that you are a hero on earth and a ghost hero in the underworld! "...& gt& gt

What festival is the thirteenth day of the seventh lunar month? Today is the thirteenth day of the seventh lunar month. At least in our place, this is a folk festival-Ghost Festival.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is also a Ghost Festival, but it is necessary to pay homage to the grave. On July 13, you pay homage at home.

It is said that July 13 is the birthday of King Earth Treasure. The North Korean prince went to Jiuhua Mountain in China to become a monk and vowed that "the hell is not empty and will never become a Buddha", so he became the god in charge of the hell, equivalent to the president of the court. There are ten Yan kings in charge of different temples, which are equivalent to the presidents of the courts below. Emperor Dongyue is also in charge of hell. I don't know who is bigger than the earth treasure king. But there is no doubt that the earth treasure king has a high position in hell.

Because the earth treasure king's birthday, ghosts in the underworld can have a holiday for three days, and there is also a festival in July, which is also in these three days anyway. The desk calendar is marked as July 15th of the lunar calendar, July 14th in Guangdong and Guangxi, and July 13th in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

According to the old custom in our country, we should confess our ancestors at home on July 13, as if we should invite them three times a year, and Tomb-Sweeping Day should also invite them at home, once before the Chinese New Year, and three times together on July 13. Just put the food on the table, put two rows of small wine glasses, each with a little wine, and then kowtow. My grandparents are very picky about it, but my parents are also very picky about it. On July 13, incense will be planted on the ground, which is said to commemorate the king of Tibet, which is not available in other festivals.

Another rule on July 13 is to eat wonton. It seems that every festival has something to do with eating, such as rice cakes on the first day, jiaozi on the 10th Five-Year Plan, Qingming jiaozi, Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival and Laba porridge until New Year's Eve ... But there is no custom of eating jiaozi in Jiangnan during the New Year.

Wonton doesn't know what to say. Some people say it is to commemorate Pangu's epoch-making chaos, but it seems that July 13 has nothing to do with Pangu.

Put on the river lantern, I wonder if it is also July 13? It is said that this is also related to calming the soul.

Is July 13th of the lunar calendar the same day as Ghost Festival? What are the taboos? No, July 15 is Halloween.

July 13 is the birthday of the earth treasure king. The earth treasure king is the prince of Korea. He became a monk in Jiuhua Mountain, China, and swore that "hell is not empty, and it will not become a Buddha", so he became the god in charge of hell, equivalent to the president of the court. There are ten Yan kings in charge of different temples, which are equivalent to the presidents of the courts below. Emperor Dongyue is also in charge of hell. I don't know who is bigger than the earth treasure king. But there is no doubt that the position of the earth treasure king in hell is very good.

Because the earth treasure king's birthday, ghosts in the underworld can have a holiday for three days, and there is also a festival in July, which is also in these three days anyway. The desk calendar is marked as July 15th of the lunar calendar, July 14th in Guangdong and Guangxi, and July 13th in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Another rule on July 13 is to eat wonton. Wonton doesn't know what to say. Some people say it is to commemorate Pangu's epoch-making chaos, but it seems that July 13 has nothing to do with Pangu.

How about being born on the thirteenth day of the seventh lunar month? It was born on the same day as me! The date is fine.

Why do some people say that the 13th of July is Ghost Festival, others say that the 14th is, and there are fifteen? The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the Orchid Festival, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, commonly known as Ghost Festival and Shigu. The meaning of the Central Plains is derived from the Lantern Festival. In ancient times, the first full moon in the first month was called Shangyuan (so the Lantern Festival was also called Shangyuan Festival), and July was a year. The first full moon in July was called Zhongyuan, because it was the name of the festival.

Zhongyuan Festival, also known as Kasahara Festival, was originally a Buddhist ceremony in India. Buddhists held Kasahara Festival to commend their ancestors. The Orchid Sutra, a Buddhist scripture, is aimed at filial piety and enlightenment, which is in line with the belief of Chinese people that seeking before going far and mourning is greater than dying, so it is becoming increasingly popular.

China followed this practice from the Liang Dynasty, and it is said that it became the Mid-Autumn Festival. On this day, the master platform and the stone drum platform were set up in front of Jiekou Village in advance. There is a bodhisattva in front of the mage's seat, and the earth treasure king passes through the underworld. Here is a dish of peach rice. Shigu stood on the stage, holding three spiritual cards and evocative complex items in his hand. After noon, families put whole pigs, whole sheep, chickens, ducks and geese and various cakes, fruits and melons on the stone drum stage. This ceremony is called "the opening of the flame".

At night, every household should burn incense at home and plant incense on the ground. The more, the better, symbolizing a bumper harvest. This is the so-called "field expansion". In some places, there are water lanterns. The so-called water lamp, tied to a small wooden board, is mostly made of colored paper in the shape of lotus, which is called "flood and drought lamp". According to tradition, water lanterns are used to guide those who are unjust and dead. When the lights went out, the water lights had completed the task of attracting ghosts to cross the Naihe Bridge. The shops were closed that day and the streets were haunted. In the middle of the street, there is an incense table every hundred steps. There are fresh fruits and a kind of "ghost steamed stuffed bun" on the incense table. There is a Taoist behind the desk singing a ghost song that people can't understand. This ceremony is called "singing". The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Day of the Dead and the Half Moon Festival. The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the Mid-Autumn Festival. People generally carry out ancestor worship activities. No matter rich or poor, we should prepare food, wine and paper money to pay homage to the deceased to show our memory of the deceased ancestors. The Mid-Autumn Festival is usually seven days, and there are old and new people. Those who die within three years are called new deaths, and those who died three years ago are called old deaths. Superstition is that the old and the new will go home to visit during this period, and the old and the new will come back at different times. The new one will come back first, and the old one will come back after the meeting. So it is necessary to visit the shrine alone. The time to burn paper money is in the dead of night. Sprinkle a few circles of lime in the yard first, saying that the paper money is burned in the circle and the ghosts dare not rob it, and then burn it in piles. When burning, I kept chanting: "So-and-so will get the money." Finally, we have to burn a pile outside the circle, saying it is for ghosts. On the day when the deceased goes back, both rich and poor people should cook a good meal to commemorate the deceased, which is also called "seeing the deceased off".
