    1.Pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't slander ghosts and gods. Although many people do not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, in ancient times, they believed in ghosts and gods.

    Around New Year's Day, you can't say some strange things casually, which is easy to cause panic in others and seriously affect the atmosphere.

    Don't steal the sacrifices, don't pick up the money. In my family's custom, every time in July and a half, that is, the Chinese New Year's Day, the first few days of the money will be divided, such as dead paper, ingots, etc. , then put it in a paper bag, write the names of the deceased ancestors on the paper bag, and then take it to their respective graves to be burned.

    The money was for ancestral relatives. We can't pick up that money at the grave, or the ancestors will come to you with resentment.

    3.Don't go out at night and don't look back when walking. The atmosphere on Chinese New Year's Day is rather strange.

    It feels like the souls of the dead are on the road at night. It is better not to walk at night on this day. If there's any trouble, it scares yourself, especially someone who doesn't have a very good birthday.

    If you have something to do to travel at night, it is best to bring a few people with you to give yourself a little security. After all, there are many people, and there is great power.

    4.Don't look in the mirror in the middle of the night and stay up late. Around New Year's Day in China, Yin Qi in the world is relatively heavy.

    What if when you look in the mirror, the ghost suddenly appears in the mirror like in a horror movie, and then stretches out your hand to strangle you? It's scary. The middle of the night is when the human body is weak and the energy is weak.

    What if the ghost gets on the body? It also tells us to rest as soon as possible. So, taboo before and after the midyear festival!

    Remember never to look in the mirror.

    When the Midyear Festival arrives, ghosts come to harass: happy ghosts chase you and run, good luck ghosts hug you tightly, rich ghosts are not separated from you, and healthy ghosts laugh with you. May you be sorrowful and have good luck in the Midyear Festival, and good health with money.

    The following are the taboos of the midyear festival that I have brought, I hope it will be helpful to you.

    1. Don't call your name directly, don't wear clothes embroidered with your name at night, so as not to be possessed by the original spirit, and it is best to avoid calling other people's names with their surnames, otherwise once they are heard by a good brother, they will take the opportunity to take away his three souls and six spirits, and if you hear someone shouting your name, don't turn back or respond immediately.

    2. Don't pat on the shoulderFrom a spiritual point of view, there are three fires on a person's body, one on the head and two shoulders, so it is best not to pat someone else's head and shoulders casually during the ghost month, so as not to extinguish the fire on his body and let the good brother have a chance.

    3. Don't whistle, beware of good brothers like you; As you pass by the cemetery, keep chanting "Sorry for the interruption!" "And remain solemn and do not whistle as a sign of respect for good brothers.

    4. Do not go to dangerous waters to play in the water, the legend says that the "water ghost" will find someone to be a substitute for the dead ghost, so as to be reincarnated;

    5. Do not steal the sacrifices of worship, compete with the demons for food, for fear of bad luck;

    6. There is no wind chime hanging at the head of the bed, because the wind chime will attract yin; I don't play Saucer Immortal either. Don't plant a banyan tree that is easy to get stuck in the shade in front of the house, and don't hang wind chimes in the house, don't play with the saucer fairy, and don't go to the Yin Temple, which can reduce the possibility of the yin spirit.

    7. At night, don't go to the wilderness or remote places, people who are light are afraid that they will bump into good brothers;

    8. On the ground. Change and red envelopes, don't pick them up randomly; Don't pick up the money on the side of the road, because it may be a good brother's, or it will be used for marriage.

    9. When passing through the funeral place, there should be no disrespectful thoughts or words in the mouth and heart;

    10. Do not step on the paper or burn the paper;

    11. Don't rest against the wall, don't lean against the wall, because good brothers usually like to rest on the wall, and this move is easy to attract ghosts.

    12. Put away your clothes to prevent ghosts from "borrowing" before you go to bed at night or before it gets dark, you should take back the clothes that are dried outside, so as not to be borrowed by ghosts to wear. Do not dry clothes in the middle of the night; (The shadow of the clothes in the middle of the night, very scary).

    13. Don't take pictures indiscriminately, it's best not to take pictures indiscriminately during the night tour, otherwise the good brothers will take pictures with you in the mirror, and don't take pictures of the flashlights on the trees, so as not to alarm the good brothers who like to attach to the treetops.

    14. When eating, you can't stick chopsticks on the rice bowl, its shape is like incense on the incense burner, which will attract good brothers to share food with you; There are many taboos, and the family is too busy to prepare. In fact, as long as it does not affect the normal life and rest, it is better to believe it than to believe it. For many people, whether it works or not, they can at least find peace of mind.

    Some people are accustomed to carrying good luck and evil spirits, such as amulets, Buddhist beads, or coarse salt, glutinous rice and other things to ward off evil spirits; Crosses or ores with special powers, etc.

    Of course, these are just legends and have no scientific basis.
