【Third Update】

Wang Zimu looked at Qin Jinrong with some surprise and laughed, "It's so different, it's so different! When we come to Ghost Festival here...it's really a long story, it's complicated and simple!"

Qin Jinrong nodded, the place is different, even if it is the same Hades Temple, there are front and back doors at the entrance, "Then I will listen all the time!"

Wang Zimu took a sip of his wine before saying, "About the legend about the July and a half ghost festival in Miaojiang and Xiangxi; There are ghosts... Of course, the two of us will not doubt this issue. According to legend, the three days from July [-]th to [-]th are the days when the gates of hell are wide open; within three days, all the ghosts in the underworld will be They were released into the yang world. It is said that the ghosts of the underworld are on vacation. And the ghosts that come out will naturally go home to find their relatives; but what about ghosts without relatives and homes? Naturally, they will wander around in the yang world, just like you just said In the same way, they turned into hungry ghosts and wandering ghosts. And within these three days, there was a saying that local adults coaxed children like this, or those of us who knew the facts believed that this was not coaxing children, but real During the three days from [-]th to [-]th, all children are not allowed to go to stingy places, stingy means yin. Also, children are fine no matter what, that is, it is forbidden to let children go to the river or near the water source There is also fire, and children are forbidden to use fire. Another thing is, the best taboo is to prohibit children from going out within those three days. Otherwise, they will be dragged down by lonely ghosts and hungry ghosts For this reason, there is also a ghost festival nursery rhyme in our childhood: In the middle of July, ghosts hang around... It is also said that the day of July [-]th is the day when the gates of ghosts are closed, and all the released ghosts You have to go back to the underworld on this day, so on the night of the [-]th, there will be a saying that ghosts go to the market here; that is to say...ghosts, received money in the underworld, and after eating the tribute, they have to exchange for something and return to the underworld to use. , at least it would not be too pitiful to be there in the underworld... And on the night of the ghost fair, people here are very conscious that they will not go to the streets or go out on this night...During these three days, we People here may be missing their relatives, or perhaps because they are curious, so there are various ways and methods to visit relatives in the underworld. The more famous one in our place is: Treading Yin Tong (Dialect) and the theory of picking up seven girls. Tataoyin Tong: On the three nights of [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th, a few (at least [-] or more) people with relatively high Huoyin (yang energy) went to the underworld together, and went down to visit The deceased relatives and friends. The method of stepping on Yintong: prepare one liter of rice, three sticks of incense, and some money paper before starting. After lighting the incense, one person starts to lead the way, and the person who guides the way should read "The sky is bright, the earth is bright, the land takes me everywhere." I must repeat it; I don't stop leading the way until the soul of the person going to the underworld exits the body... After the soul of the person going to the underworld exits the body, the hands are still on the ground. I kept patting my knees (like riding a horse), and kept talking about what I saw and heard... The way to the underworld is to go to the Earth Temple first. Then follow this underworld road and go straight ahead. Then we arrived at Luoyang Bridge. Under Luoyang Bridge, there were lonely souls and wild ghosts. After passing Luoyang Bridge, we arrived at Fengdu, and then passed through the cycle of life and death and before Naihe Bridge. After crossing Naihe Bridge, we can find our deceased relatives... to the underworld , you can also go to the Flower EmpressThe flower of a stranger (local legend says that a stranger has a flower in the underworld where the goddess grows flowers. My flower seemed to be a morning glory back then), and you can know the fate of the stranger by looking at the state of the flower.Or life and death... After watching everything, the people who go to the underworld will rush back to the sun, (this is the most dangerous part of the road, and there needs to be a stranger to guide the way. Legend has it that many people went to the underworld. Afterwards, I couldn’t come back, and my body forcibly woke up. Afterwards, the light ones would be seriously ill for the rest of their lives, and the severe ones would die in three to two months).After returning, the memory of the period of going to the underworld completely disappeared.If you want to know, you have to tell them through the people guarding their bodies... This is the July and a half that we in Xiangxi and Miaojiang will spend. "
