7th Month Hungry Ghost Festival
This is after all the ghostly lunar month where the Chinese calls it the Hungry Ghost Festival. Yes, the 七月 (7th Month) is here and during this time, lots of taboos and things are going round. Most traditional Chinese will tell their children to stay out of danger and places during the night and to be wary around for any wandering spirits.
Just when you thought in this modern age there are no such things as spirits, you’ll never know when and where will ‘it’ happen.
Basically this is the time where spirits of the dead gets to roam free on Earth to enjoy the pleasures and to visit their family members who are still living. So of course, you’ll get to see many family members start offering things with candles. Now that’s good? Or rather to celebrate the homecoming of their ‘family’ and also to warned other spirits that they are well protected.
