What Should Not Be Done on the Zhongyuan Festival?

2. Avoid Sleeping with Hair Unbound
During the ghost month, there are many wandering souls. If your hair is unbound, you might be mistaken for a companion by them, and they might try to talk to you.
3. Avoid Going Out at Night
People with weak destiny should definitely avoid going out at night, especially not go to remote or less populated places, otherwise it will only bring trouble.
4. Avoid Having Birthday Parties at Night
It's better to celebrate during the day.
5. Avoid Saying the Word "Ghost"
During the Zhongyuan Festival, it's best to be cautious in speech and action. In addition to avoiding saying the word "ghost," you should also avoid speaking carelessly, as ghosts may be right beside you!
6. Avoid Stepping on Burnt Paper
Burnt paper is an offering for ghosts. When it is burned, ghosts gather around to collect it. If you step on it while burning, you might hinder their actions. The angry ghosts will naturally cause problems for you.
7. Avoid Patting Someone's Shoulder at Night
It is believed that everyone has three fires on their body, located on their shoulders and head, which prevent ghosts from approaching. Therefore, randomly patting someone's shoulder during the Zhongyuan Festival could extinguish their fire, causing trouble for the ghost.
8. Avoid Inserting Chopsticks into a Bowl
This is the mode of worship, just like incense inserted into an incense burner. This act will only attract good ghosts to share your food.
9. Avoid Hanging Wind Chimes on the Bed Head
Because wind chimes can attract yin energy.
10. Avoid Eating Offerings
Eating offerings meant for ghosts could bring misfortune.
11. Avoid Looking Back Easily
When walking in the wilderness or sparsely populated areas, if you feel "someone" is calling you, don't look back easily, or you might have trouble.
12. Avoid Swimming in Water
Avoid swimming in dangerous waters, as it is said that "water ghosts" will find someone to replace them for rebirth.
13. Avoid Whistling
Whistling at night can attract the attention of ghosts.
