This is also a folk saying. There are other taboos in the midyear.

    There are three fires in the body, one on the head and one on the two shoulders. If you casually pat someone on the shoulder during the Midyear Festival, wouldn't you want to extinguish the fire on him? If the fire is extinguished, it is easy to provoke unclean things and so on.

    In short, if you believe, you will have something, and if you don't believe it, you will not.

    It is not suitable to dry clothes at night during the Midyear Festival, especially wet clothes, because the water is yin, so wet clothes are easy to be possessed by yin spirits, and once they are stained with clothes, it is difficult to get out, so they may hate the owner of the clothes and even retaliate.

    There is a folk saying that the midyear festival is when the ghost door is wide open, and many ghosts will wander outside on this day, and they will try it when they see good-looking clothes.

    The clothes that are taboo to wear on Halloween are black, which has an ominous and catastrophic meaning in the traditional social concept of Taiwan, so for some people who can see the light on people's bodies, color makes them the most uneasy and frightened. Therefore, if on Halloween, especially at night, if the underwear and pants are black from head to toe, there is a chance that you will be stained with cathode energy on the street, and you will have bad luck or even a serious illness.
