    There is nothing wrong with this in theory, but it should be dealt with according to the customs of each place. Zhongyuan Festival is actually the only festival of the three religions in the whole year, Confucianism is called "Guifeng Tsai Rang Festival", the common people of the past dynasties have no culture, and it is falsely rumored to be "Ghost Festival" (and therefore also derives many stories of "Ghost Door Open, Ghost Gate Closed"), Taoism is called Zhongyuan Festival (January 15, that is, the Lantern Festival is called "Shangyuan Festival", October 15 Silver Bureau is called "Xia Yuan Festival", respectively, corresponding to "Shangyuan Festival Heavenly Official Blessing", "Xia Yuan Festival Local Official Forgiveness", "Zhongyuan Water Saving Official Relief Misfortune"), Buddhism is called "Bon Festival", also called "Buddha Joy Day". Therefore, those who think that the half of July is the Ghost Festival, do not dare to make offerings, worship the Buddha, offer incense, or do anything else, such as going out, visiting friends, going to the grave, etc., are ignorant of the festival.
