What are the taboos for setting off firecrackers on August 15th?

When setting off firecrackers at home, you must be careful not to put firecrackers near valuables such as bedside and room, which will destroy the integrity of the items.

From the perspective of geomantic omen, some directional problems need to be considered when setting off firecrackers. For example, the direction of setting off firecrackers cannot be your own direction. It's also unlucky to face north. Only facing the southeast can bring good luck. In addition, when you go out to set off firecrackers, you should also consider the travel route. Starting from home, Feng Shui should consider avoiding dead ends. You'd better go straight ahead.

In traditional culture, going out to set off firecrackers is called "good news", which expresses people's joy and celebration of happy times. Setting off firecrackers can also appear at weddings to express the happiness of newlyweds. Among monks and nuns, setting off firecrackers is also called the "big Lama" to express blessings, which is why some local traditions set off firecrackers on the day of the big Lama to show respect.

Other taboos of Mid-Autumn Festival:

1, it is forbidden to hang clothes

In traditional culture, ghosts are thought to return to the world on the Mid-Autumn Festival. People believe that ghosts will wander around looking for something to borrow. Hanging clothes is considered as one of the easiest objects for ghosts to borrow.

It is said that ghosts will put on borrowed clothes and leave a special smell on them. If people wear these clothes without knowing it, they may be possessed by ghosts or influenced by them, leading to diseases or other unfortunate events.

2. Traditionally, traveling at night is forbidden.

The night of Mid-Autumn Festival is considered to be the most vigorous time of Yin qi, and the dead are more active. Therefore, people should try to avoid going out at night, especially traveling alone. This is to avoid the intersection with the dead, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. In addition, the night can leave more space and time for the dead to move freely and feel the warmth of the world.
