Try not to go outdoors in July of the lunar calendar, especially at night. After all, the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the month of the Ghost Festival parade.

You can't pat your shoulders in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, which is etiquette and custom. As the saying goes, people have three fires, one on their heads and the other on their shoulders. When playing with others, slapping these places at will weaken his aura.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional folk festival in China, commonly known as Ghost Festival and July 30th, and also known as Orchid Festival in Buddhism. The name of the Central Plains originated from the Northern Wei Dynasty. At the beginning of autumn and the end of summer, crops began to mature gradually, and people had the custom of offering sacrifices to their ancestors for a long time. Everyone used new grain as an offering to announce a good harvest in autumn to their ancestors.
