What festival is the first day of the tenth lunar month?

The first day of October in the lunar calendar is the Cold Clothes Festival, also known as the October Dynasty, ancestor worship festival and Ghost Festival. People call it Ghost Head Festival, which is a traditional festival of sacrifice in China. It is said that it originated in the Zhou Dynasty. The Cold Clothes Festival is popular in the north, and many northerners will offer sacrifices on this day to commemorate their deceased relatives. This is called sending cold clothes.

Be especially careful when burning cold clothes on October 1st. All clothes and money for the dead must be burned. Only when it is burned clean can these papers become silks and satins, clothes for houses and gold, silver and copper coins in the underworld. As long as a thing is not burned, all the previous efforts will be in vain, and the dead will not use it. When people in China send cold clothes, they also pay attention to burning some five-color paper at the crossroads as a symbol of cloth. The original intention is to help orphans who have no ancestors to worship, so as not to be robbed of winter supplies for their loved ones.

10/day 1 day, people in China not only send warm clothes to the dead for the winter, but also the living carry out some traditional activities symbolizing winter. On this day, women will take out cotton-padded clothes and let their children and husbands change seasons. If the weather is still warm, it is not suitable to wear cotton at this time, and children and husbands should be urged to try it on for good luck.
