Chinese Ghost Month is from August 14, 2015 to September 12, 2015
Chinese Ghost Festival is on August 28, 2015



The Chinese said the gate of the Chinese Hell will be opened on the first day of Chinese 7th Lunar month at early midnight every year. The suffering spirits from the Hell are able to return their homes to see their descendants and enjoy grand feasts. But they have only one month vacation and have to return the Hell on the last day of the 7th lunar month. Therefore, Chinese call 7th lunar month is the Ghost Month.

The major event of the Ghost Month is Chung-Yuan Festival,UpperYuanFestival, which is the 15th lunar day. On the night of 14th lunar day, floating Water Lanterns will be put down to the river. Chinese think the legendary hell is under the ocean. Water Lanterns light up a road to welcome ghosts and spirits to our world for a dinner feast. The 15th day of Ghost Month is also the birthday of the Hell Officer who has right to pardon ghosts. All the ghosts have his permission to leave the hell for the Chung-Yuan Festival. Therefore, Chinese will prepare lots of food to treat their ascendant's spirits and homeless ghosts. Some people call the Chung-Yuan Festival as the Ghost Festival



According to Taoism, Shan-Yuan UpperYuan (first period of the year) Festival is on the 15th lunar day of the fist lunar month, which is the Lantern Festival. Chung-Yuan MiddleYuan (middle period of the year) Festival is on the 15th lunar day of the 7th lunar month. Xia-Yaun LowerYuan (last period of the year) Festival. is on the 15th lunar day of the 10th lunar month.

The 7th lunar day of the 7th lunar month is the Chinese Valentine Day, which ends up a sad story. There are many inauspicious signs in the 7th lunar month. many Chinese don't want to get married in the Ghost month.



Chinese have some taboos during the Chinese Ghost Month.

oh, it's that time of the year again.

I am a devout Chinese folk religion practitioner, and can tell you that most of these taboos are bullshit.

i always wonder hell also got timezone, different timezone hell open at different month

I did, when I was younger, with friends too, twice.

You have any evidence of people harmed from doing so?

Go home early

So if other race wont see them, separate dimension only chinese see and experience it?

i think the ghost making our KLSE go down

yup..

his chance to meet 'amoi' this month is high..

and u don't selfie hand picture also.. later 1 hand become 3 hand
yes. time flies

Lunar month most chigek is to take those rice that people pray for ghost
Take it to a cross junction, knock the bowl on every corner and eat it.
They say its a fun game, anyone wanna try with me

So if other race wont see them, separate dimension only chinese see and experience it?

Know already la since then

And what do you suppose will happen if you stick the chopsticks upright into your rice?

You'll die on the spot?

A ghost will appear and scare the hell out of you?

why would anyone want to stick chopsticks into the bowel?

People of different races see ghosts of different races all the time.

me copy pasta only.. wait.. edit now

so i need to use chinese method to shoo away chinese ghost
and christian method to shoo away christian ghost

jangan persoal tradisi org cina !

TBH and Altantuya will visit najibs this month .

Ghosts are ghosts.

The religions they adhered to while alive do not determine what religious rites one should use to exorcise them after they are dead.

A Christian exorcism, if performed correctly, should be more than capable of exorcising, say, the ghost of a Hindu person.

Tonight 12am hell gate open dy..
