"April 15th is the day of the king of the Fa, and the day of the nursing of the nursing of the son. On this day, the monk and nuns will make a summer brake. On the 10th day, it is also called solution to the summer of July 15th. "
During the settlement, the communication between monks and nuns and the vulgar world was minimized. After July 15th, a new life cycle began. Therefore, July 15th symbolizes resurrection and freshmen.
In July 15th is the Bon Festival. The word "Obon Festival", the story of Mu Lian's mother -in -law from the Buddhist scriptures, is the transliteration of Sanskrit Ulambana. The original meaning was "saving the suspension", that is, the ghost who rescued the suffering in hell. According to the "Buddha Sutra" (translated by Zhu Fahu, the Emperor Wu Emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty):
Beal. That is to view the world with Dao Eyes. Seeing his dead mother in the hungry ghost. Don’t see the diet, the skin is connected. Sorrowful, the bowl Shengfan went to his mother. When the mother got a bowl of rice, she had a left -handed rice, the right hand, and the food was not imported. Mu Lian yelled the tragedy cry, and the white Buddha was returned, and Chen was so Chen. The Buddha's words of Ru's mother were deeply concluded, and the man's manpower was not the manpower. ... I should talk about the relief method today. ... The Buddha told the eyes, when the monks of the Shifang were self -proclaimed on July 15th, they were the parents of the seventh generation, and now the parents are in trouble. In the basin, Shi Gan was supported by the ten square monks.
Puly after the implementation of the law, his mother was able to get rid of the suffering of all hungry ghosts. The benevolent eyes told the Buddha that in the future, the disciples of Buddhist Buddhism should also be supported by Yulan. When the Buddha heard the words of joy, he was rumored that the disciples were the 15th day of the parents of the seventh generation. Since then, the customs of the Zhongyuan Festival have been widely circulated.
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Zong Yan (about 498-565) 's "Jing Chu Shi Ji" has been recorded: "On July 15th, monks and nuns are well known to the camps for the Buddhas." Essence The so -called "pot" should be from the misunderstanding of Buddhists at that time. They misunderstood the "Bon", which originally intentioned to be "saved" into "decorative beautiful pots", so they raced the beautiful patterns of wood, bamboo and other materials, and decorated with flowers and leaves.
The "Yan's Family Training" Volume 20 of the Northern Qi Ren Yanzhi's push (May, Three -131) also said: "In July and a half, Yulan looked at Ruye." It can be seen that the customs of the Obon will be widely circulated in the north and south of July 15th. Emperor Liang Wudi (502-549) held the Bonpi Society in the palace with the monarch of a country, which also led to the atmosphere of domestic Buddhism and made the Bonpen a fixed festival.
The religion's Zhongyuan began in the three officials of the Wudoumi religion. According to "The Biography of the Three Kingdoms", "Zhang Lu Biography" quoted "Code Strategy":
The light, ... there is Zhang Xiu in the Han Dynasty, ... ... For the ghost officials, the Lord asked for the sick. Please pray the method of prayer, the surname of the book, the meaning of persuasion. Make three links, one on the mountain, on the mountain. One of the places buried, one Shen Zhishui, which is called the three officials of the three officials.
The beliefs of the three officials have developed the theory of Sanyuan, and it has not been established in about the Six Dynasties. The "Xuandu Da Dan Sutra" in the Six Dynasties of the Six Dynasties said:
On July 15, Zhongyuan Festival also. ... It is the Japanese official school to read, searches everyone, and good and evil. In the palace of the heavens, in the palace of the palace, the ghost records of several people, the hungry ghost prisoners, all collected for a while, as the day of the day as Xuandu Dazhai, and the enemy is to Yujing. And picking flowers, all strange things in the world, playing with clothing, building treasures, solemn support, clear diet, fragrant flavor, presenting all saints, and Taoist priests. Rather than the sun and moon chanting, the Ten Fangsheng, Gao Lu Ling, the prisoner hungry ghosts. If this is not the case, it is difficult to get rid of it.
Because the Central Yuan Festival is the day of the sin of the land official, the Taoist priests recite the scriptures on this day, and the practice is the three animals, five fruits, and the lonely soul ghost.
The ultimate goal of the Bon Pills and the Middle Yuan Festival lies in Pu Du sentient beings. After a long time, the boundaries between the two are gradually blurred, forming a festival with filial piety and fraternity.
The legend of the Middle Yuan Festival
The Mu Lian's Mother Savior Story in the Buddhist Sutra has another different look in the vulgar transformation of the temple of the Tang Dynasty. Because the creation of the text is to preach the Dharma to the masses, the story in the Buddhist scriptures has undergone a certain degree of rendering in the transformation.
The vulgar names in Mulian Chaoshi are Luobu. The widow, Madam Qing Ti Madam, is babble and kills. But Luob is very kind, and he gives a good job on weekdays and respects the three treasures. One day, if he wanted to go out to do business, he told his mother to divide the money in the family into three points, take away one point, support his mother, and stay at home to give poverty. Unexpectedly, since Luo Bu left home, Mrs. Blue Ti slaughtered chickens and killed goose every day. As soon as the monk came to the door, he ordered the boy's stick to fight, and even put a dog to bite the beggar.
Due to her evil deeds, after death, she was punished to fall into Aki Hell and suffered day and night. After the death of his mother, Luoba was very sad. He thought that only a monk could repay his mother's deep grace one way, and he worshiped as a teacher, and he was a big man. A few years later, he was the first to cultivate his magical powers and superior to Han. Mu Lian wanted to know where his parents died, but found that his mother fell into Aki Hell. In order to understand his mother, he went to hell in person, and saw the hell scene:
Either the sword tree tree, or the iron plow tongue, or the juice copper, or swallow the iron fire pill. Or hold the copper column, the body is rotten. Niutou Ling Chi every day, the jailer finally tortured. The soup is fried and painful.
Peng Lian for the sake of Rulai Buddha, Fang had to save his mother from hell, reached the king city as a dog, and then paved his 49 days of dojo, and his mother was ascended to heaven.
The legend of another Zhongyuan Festival is related to paper money. It is said that after Cai Lun invented the paper in the Eastern Han Dynasty (2.0th to 220th), the business was booming and made a lot of money for him. His brother Cai Mo and Xun Hui Niang watched very envious. Hui Niang wants Cai Mo to go to learn paper with Cai Lun. But Cai Mo's perseverance was not enough. Before he arrived at home, he hurriedly opened a paper shop. As a result, the quality of the paper created was inferior, and the lack of people asked, and the two couples worried about the paper in a house.
Finally, Hui Niang came up with a wonderful plan and attached to Cai Mo's ear, so he taught it.
On this night, the neighbors suddenly heard the cry of Cai Mo's family crying. Everyone rushed over and asked, so she knew that Hui Niang died violently last night. In the early morning of the next day, Cai Mo cried and lived in front of Hui Niang's coffin in front of his neighbor. Crying, burning paper. Burning and burning, suddenly hearing a sound in the coffin. After a while, I heard Hui Niang's voice crying in it again: "Open the door, open the door, I am back." Everyone stayed, and finally died the courage to open the coffin. Hui Niang jumped out and told her neighbors that after she died, she went to the Yin, and the King Yan asked her to push her suffering. Because Cai Mo burned her a lot of paper money, the ghosts scrambled to grind her. She gave the money to Yan Wang again, and King Yan put her back. Cai Mo deliberately asked: "I didn't give you money?" Hui Niang pointed at the burning fire and said, "That is money! The yin is used as paper." As soon as Cai Mo heard it, he immediately hugged two bundles of paper to burn, saying that the father and mother in the underworld suffered less. When the neighbors saw this, they found that the paper money was so great, so they all paid for Cai Mo's paper. After the news spread, less than a few days, Cai Mo's paper was all sold out.
This day when Hui Niang returned to the sun was July 15th in the lunar calendar, so every day, people burned the ancestors to burn incense. This custom has been circulating to this day.
The custom of Zhongyuan Festival
According to the "Tang Liu Dian" records: "The Central Administration of the Central Office entered the Bon on July 15", it can be seen that at that time, the Bon of the Chinese Yuan Festival had become the palace Example. In the Song Dynasty, there were products sold in cooperation with Obon. According to the "Tokyo Menghua Record" (sequence in 147) Volume 8 records: "(Zhongyuan) for several days, the market sells underworld boots, gold rhinoceros, colorful clothes ... and seal" "Zun Shengmian Lian Jing". The bamboo pole is cut into three feet, which is about three or five feet high. Hang the clothes on it, and burn it after worship. This kind of utensils are nothing more than the use of ancestors to sacrifice their ancestors.
The Song people sacrifice their ancestors with vegetarian food, for example, new rice and new sauce, rice rice, and fruits. On the table of the sacrifice, the leaves should be paved, and the table foot should be tied to Migu. This is because the Chinese Yuan Festival is the season of harvest. When worshiping the ancestor, the chicken crown flower is called "hand washing flowers". If there is a new dead in the family, they will also go to the graveyard to sacrifice at the Central Yuan Festival.
The Southern Song Dynasty Palace went to the Emperor's Mausoleum to worship, and he was in the worship of 10,000 lanterns. It is the day of the day of the Dao Tao, and the monk Temple built the pimple. The palace set up a doctrine of lonely souls for the sergeant of the war dead. When the temple celebrates the festival, it will definitely invite the play team to perform a performance of God. Most of the dramas requested by the temples during the Zhongyuan Festival are the show. According to the "Tokyo Menghua Record" Volume 8, just about Qixi Festival, the musicians in the hookrack began to perform the "Mu Lian Save Mother" miscellaneous drama. This is the earliest drama performance recorded in Chinese history.
The local officials in the Ming Dynasty worshiped the local altar in the Central Yuan Festival, symbolizing the government's "Jun Hui You Ming and Renzheng." There was a legend in the Ming Dynasty. The ancestors who died returned home on the night of July 12th and left on the night of the 17th. Therefore, the folks worship their ancestors from 14 to 16. On the fifteenth day, there was a custom of promoting weaving. Liu Yan and Yu Yizheng's "Emperor Jing Scenes" (1635) Volume 2:
"On the fifteenth day, the temples are built in the waters, and the lights are set on the water. River lights. The most better water pass, the second bubbles also. When the grave is clear, or the small bag was made. n
The Qing Dynasty in the West Lake, the Culture of the Central Yuan Festival has the custom of loading the French boat. The French vessels are made of brocade paper, and there are those who grow to seven or eight feet. On the boat, the ghost king, judge, soldier, and monk chanted the scriptures on the boat. After the chanting ceremony, it was delivered to the water to incinerate, and the intention of burning the paper boat was in "Cihang Purdue". In addition, you have to invite the statue of the capital to patrol to sacrifice the ghosts. According to Pan Rong's "Emperor Jing's age Ji Sheng" (1758), the Zhang Lantern in the Qing Dynasty was too old:
"From 13th to 15th Put the river lights every day, so that the small internal supervisor holds lotus leaves, burns the candle, lists the two sides of the strait, with thousands of memories. And with the glazed lotus lamps with thousands of cups, with the waves up and down ... ... The lotus leaves are burning in the inside, and the blue light is shining, such as the phosphorus. It also binds hundreds of embers with green crickets, and it is burned as a star lantern. The carpempoo leather, the lotus puff, can be a light, each with its own quality. "
The yuan to place various lamps, the main purpose is "the suffering of the ghost". Especially the water lamps placed by the temple, on the black water surface, drift downstream of a cup downstream, like a star, symbolizing the boundless Dharma, thousands of lotus lanterns, and the meaning of over crossing the lonely soul.

The Zhongyuan Festival in Taiwan
The Zhongyuan Festival in Taiwan also has the custom of worshiping ancestors. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the customs of the Yuan Dynasty, according to the records of Gao Gonggan's "Taiwan Mansion" (one 696), Volume 7, when worshiping the ancestors, "burned it by the five -color embroidery, and the clouds were done under the spring. clothes". At the same time, the Obon Association was held to extend a monk to host it. After dusk, he would go to the altar and throw food to the altar.
During the Daoguang year, the scale of the Zhongyuan sacrifice is greater than the past. Chen Peigui's "Freshwater Hall" (1846) Volume 11 records the following grand occasion:
The on the fifteenth day of Chengzhuang Chen Jin Bao's banner, welcome God into the incense, or move the characters. The male woman had a prayer, and she followed the paper. Between January, every family Pudu, that is, Yulan Pen also. Not alone in the middle of the ear. The vulgarity of July is the opening of hell on the first day of July, and the hell is closed on the 30th. The temples are also built for two or three days. However, the first day of the water lanterns, each giving the small lamp, the surname is the team, the string song is filled, the candlelight is like day, the furnishings are shining, and the show is not empty. One of the examples, the animals, the accumulation of mountain tombs, and planting bamboo. …
In addition to the water lanterns and Pudu, some places also prevail in the custom of "grab the lonely". All kinds of offerings. After Pudu, the organizer ordered that all the people rushed up the sacrifice. "Penghu Hall" (1893) Volume 9 describes this custom: "Those who are strong, every time, even fight, even fight each other, fall on the stage, there are casualties, it is a bad wind." Due to the ghost cluster in July, in order to fear that they were lingering, some people invented the solitary way. It is said that when ghosts see a group of fierce people who are more fierce than themselves, they will be scared to leave. However, the scene of loneness was too fierce and caused casualties. Therefore, when Liu Mingchuan served as governor (1884), he ordered the ban, but the results were not good. It wasn't until the period of the Japanese rule that it was occasionally smelled, and it gradually disappeared in the future.
In 1981 (1991), Yilan Head City held a lonely event again after 40 years. The organizer still follows the old racks to set up double sheds. The big one is called "lone shed". And pure gold medal. The small one is called the "rice shed", and in the past, the beggar was specialized in grabbing food, so he was less than half of the height of the shed. The team participated in five people as the group. Each team was based on one pillar. After the organizer ordered, the players climbed to the shed disregard. Because this is a game rules, there is no chaos to snatch, it is a folk sports worthy of advocating.
The people attach importance to Pudu, and reached the level of "Money Giant and Non -Break" (Lian Heng, "History of Taiwan" (1988), Volume 23). Even during the Japanese rule, under the pressure of official suppression of folklore activities, Pudu was held every year. Suzuki Kiyoshiro's "Taiwan's Old Crown Crown Wedding Ceremony" (1934) The third editor recorded the customs of Taiwan's Zhongyuan Pudu during the Japanese rule during the Japanese rule.
This, commonly known as lonely ghosts as "good brothers". In the Zhongyuan Festival, Pudu's lonely soul is called "worship brothers". The type of Pudu is also divided into two types: public and private.
The private Pu is the prevailing units such as streets, Zhuang and other residential units. From the first to 30th of July, everyone discussed together, which day is the village, and the day of the village B is held in accordance with the prescribed days. Essence In previous years, Lugang has also been popular in Lugu, which is enough to prove the grand occasion of this Pudu:
The first water lamp, the second day of the Pu Palace, the third meter city street, the fourth Wenwu Temple, the fifth day of the fifth day, the fifth day Chenghuang Palace, Sixth Sixth Tucheng, Seventh Seventh Seventh Mother, New Palace of the Eighth Palace, Mazu Palace of Mazu in the early Nine of the Nine, Eleven Vegetable Gardens, Twelve Longshan Temple, Shisanmenmen, Fourteen Ghost Ghosts The fifteen old palaces, the sixteen east stone, the seventeen Guoyu, the eighteen battalions, the nineteen Shanxing Street, the Two Houzai, the Ganhou Auto Road, the Two Boat Tau After the fourth house, the fifth Xuyu Pu, the Twenty -six Niu Ruusou, the Twenty -Qi'an Ping Town, the Two Eight Yiza, the Eight -nine Tong Hong Kong Pu, the Turtle Turtle Store, the first meter powder, the first second begging to eat boring.
The afternoon on the day of Pudu, every family has placed rich meals at the door, commonly known as "worship door". A fragrant fragrance is inserted on each dish. Careful people will also prepare cigarettes, betel nuts, rouge, white powder, etc. After worship, burn the paper money, and then sprinkle. It is said that if there are too few offerings or the dish and rice they are too bad, they will be retaliated by the good brothers, or let the family members get sick, or the poultry and livestock that they raised. Food.
The Buddhists quit killing, so the Bon Peng Pen will use vegetarian food, unlike folk sacrifice worship, big fish and meat. Nonetheless, the starting point of the two is to set up all beings and exactly apply man -dew.
The so -called "Gongtian", also known as "Temple Pu", is generally held in July 15th. The saying goes "worship in July and Half". Master. On the eve of the Gongtan, to inform the lone soul to come and receive Pudu, you must "tree lamps" in front of the temple to recruit souls. The so -called lanterns are a few feet tall wooden rods or bamboo poles, lifting the lantern at the top, and lit after the night. The folk believes that the higher the lantern trees, the more ghosts they gather. In order to avoid too much hungry ghost, you can't cope with it. Usually only the lamps of two or three feet highs are erected. Only when Dapu is in Dapu, the lights of more than five feet. In addition, during the Pudu period, the people in the central and southern parts will hang the "Pu Du public light" at the door of the house, with the purpose of taking the road for the lonely soul wild ghost.
Is for drowning ghosts, use "water lamps" to notify. Water lamps are divided into two types: water lamp head and water lamp. One of the water lanterns is a circular lantern, and the book "A certain temple celebrates the middle Yuan", and there is another water lamp made of a house -shaped, commonly known as "paper". The water lamp rows use wood as raw materials, growing four or five feet, and the raft shape of the wide bang, divided into thousands or hundreds of grids, and a lamp is hanging per grid. The parade of the water lamp is also the band as the front guide. There are also men and girls dressed as fish, shrimp and aquariums to participate in the parade, and arrived in the river bank a week after the tour of the city. There is a table on the river bank with three sacrifices on top of the river. Please recite the scriptures to the sacrifice, and then put the house -shaped water lamp into the water. The water lanterns are confeired by the major surnames, which indicate its surname. According to legend, the water lanterns are farther and farther, which means that the name of the name of the name, the better.
The cost of the Gong President, the "Owner" of the party who is responsible for the festival is sent to raise donations according to the household, commonly known as "donation of the question". Praise the Yuan.
The day of Temple Pu set up altars in the temple court, called "Pudu Altar", and the four characters or hanging three officials of the three official emperors were hung on the book "Ben Bon Society". There are three fighting lights on the altar. The bucket lamp is put on white rice in the rice bucket, and then puts in mirrors, ancient swords, small scales, scissors, ruler, paper umbrella, oil lamp and other evil items. In front of the altar, there is a long table for the people to set up saisters. A portrait of paper tie in front of the temple, a mountain god ride on the left, and the land on the right is a land -shaped tiger. The grandfather is commonly known as the "ghost king". It is said that he was a very evil leader. He often led his hands to endanger the world. Fortunately, the Guanyin Bodhisattva was closed, so he was on his head with a Guanyin.
The ghosts during Pudu, I am afraid they are weird, so please come to Shan Shen, Land and Grandpa a little restraint. In addition, there are two types of lone sheds that are tied into a house. One is the Cold Forest Institute (Hanlin Academy). Package. Some people also use gender as a distinction to set up lone sheds such as "men's halls" and "women's rooms".
In addition to the Puju altar, a lone shed is needed to set up sacrifices such as sacrifice such as animal gifts, crickets, and rice. Each sacrifice must be inserted with a triangle flag, which says "Qingzan Zhongyuan" or "worshiping the murmuries" on it. There must be whole pigs and sheep in the supply. The owners believe that the more fattened the pigs are raised, and the more pious, so everyone must compete with each other. The sacrifice pigs need to be sweet fruits such as pineapple and citrus. It is said to be afraid that it will shout the grievance in front of the gods.
The also "watching animals", the purpose is only to watch. The patterns of chicken, duck, fish and flour are placed into the patterns of birds and beasts and even historical figures. There are mostly chickens and ducks in the sacrifice, so the saying goes: "July and half ducks, I don't know how to die." It is also used to build a altar with wooden boards, and layered furnishings, called "Ker Mountain". Although the sacrifice is very rich, everyone is still afraid of not being lonely and wild ghosts, so they have to increase the monk to "meal food" and increase these supplies several times by chanting. You have to build a theater, and show a good brother. There are more people and friends from this day for relatives and friends.
In Pudu, the temple must also ask Taoist priests, mage or people in the play class to "jump bell". Cover the local lonely ghost with Zhong Yan's Fa knife. When jumping bells, the general public was afraid of being rushed to be rushed, and he did not dare to stay at the scene. After the jumping bell, the temple Pu was successfully achieved. However, because the ghost door was closed on the afternoon of August, the ghost gate was closed, so in the second half of July, there were still various industries continued to make private Pu.
The Zhongyuan Festival in Taiwan is the most distinctive with Keelung Middle Yuan Festival. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, immigrants from Zhang and Quan poured into Taiwan. Due to the strong concept of early immigrants, different settlements were formed. Due to the conflict between the boundaries and irrigation problems, there are often fighting between the two sides. In the Keelung area, there were more than a hundred deceased in a fierce fighting in the Xianfeng period. Later, the powerful people of the two parties came forward to mediate, dealt with burial matters, and agreed to hold Pudu in July of the lunar calendar. Due to this special historical factors, coupled with local people's conscious promotion, the Yuan Dynasty festival in the chicken cage has become a considerable scale and characteristic tourism activity.
The Zhongyuan Festival of Hsinchu is stationed because of the highest status in Taiwan's status in Taiwan. Every year, the city grandfather of the Zhongyuan Festival is a great event in the middle of the year. Due to the opening of the ghost gate in July, for the fear of the ghosts in the sun, you must ask the city grandfather to move around to care for peace. When the city patrols, as usual, the gods of the nearby temples are invited to the grand event. The protagonist of the parade is the god sedan of the city grandfather. Accompanying also includes the heads and arts of each children's group, and the Seven Lords, Eighth Lords (that is, Fan, Xie), who are scared. A series of "lone cakes" hanging between Qiye and Ba Ye. Women will be begged back to eat for young children. It is said that eating can make children grow up safely.
The route of the city of the city also includes the Zheng's Temple of Hsinchu. The Zheng's Temple is the temple of the Zhengyuxi family of the jinshi. In the early years, when the city god was renovated and rebuilt, it relying on Zheng's donations. Therefore, every year, the grandfather of Zhongyuan Festival will go to the Zheng family temple to express the gratitude.
The Hakka settlement in Taiwan is represented by the Temple of Yimin Temple in Xinpu. The origin of the Yimin Temple can be traced back to the rebellion of Zhu Yigui in the 1960s (1722) of Kangxi, and Lin Shuangwen, the Lin Shuangwen of Qianlong (1782).

The local township gentry was buried in the current Yimin Temple, and the Pudu was held on July 2nd every year.
one of the characteristics of the Pudu of Yimin Temple is that since the Qing Dynasty, the pigs and sheep competitions held every year. The weight of the top five must exceed 1,000 pounds. The selection of God sheep is to play with the length of the horns. In 1976, there were two eight -meter -eight -meter -eight -meter sheep. In order to make the pigs and sheep more eye -catching, the owners will also set up a beautiful display shed for them, and wear glasses and hats for the pigs and sheep, and dress up as a gentleman, which is very cute.
The ceremony of Pudu kicked off from July 18th of the lunar calendar. On the 19th, he welcomed the people of Yinmin to go around, and at night, there were water lamps, heads, flags, gongs and drum performances. At 10 am on July 2nd, at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, it was applied in the afternoon. At seventeenth o'clock, the lonely, and the lonely.

Call festival
commonly known as ghost festival. Folk traditional festivals. On July 15th of the lunar calendar, there were also on July 14th. On this day, every family worshiped the ancestors, and some had to hold a family banquet to worship the ceremony. The three patrols of the wine showed that the ancestors were finished, and the family sat down again to join the holiday dinner. After breaking the black, carry gunfire, paper money, and fragrant candle, find a secluded river or pond flat, and sprinkle a circle with lime to indicate the restricted area. Then pour some water rice in the circle, burn some paper money, set off firecrackers, send ancestors on the road, and turn back to "Yin Cao Difu". In the past, the folk had to go home through a certain ceremony on the seventh day of July, and for the morning, noon, and fainting every morning, noon, and fainting, it was provided 3 times of tea, until it was returned on July 15. Now, gradually eliminate superstitions, retain the form of commemoration, and commemorate the ancestors.
The middle Yuan Festival is scheduled to be on July 15th of the lunar calendar, commonly known as July and a half. It is said that all the ghosts of the land of the Japanese house are generally carried out in the activities of worshiping ghosts. Anyone who has a new funeral, for example, must be new to the grave, and generally sacrifice the lonely soul ghost in the local area. Therefore, it is a festival centered on ghosts, which is the largest ghost festival in China.
I July was originally Xiaoqiu. There are several crops mature. The people want to worship their ancestors as examples. Song Meng Lao's "Tokyo Menghua Record" Volume: "On the day before the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, buying the leafy leaves (a plant's leaves, with aroma), enjoying the desktop when enjoying the sacrifice, and buying Migu Naizer, which is also a Magua Nest. It is tied to the foot of the table, and it is the meaning of the ancestors of the ancestors. "In July, Xiaoqiu's crops were mature, and the Chinese who pay attention to filial piety should report to the ancestors and ask the ancestors to taste new. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoism made three sessions and five days. Among them, July 7th was Morallay, and the days when the Taoist people who were fixed to the middle of the Association went to the Governance to accept the school. The main content of Wula Day is the ancestor. In July, this ancestor's date of worship fixed the birthday and the corresponding sacrifice date of the Chinese Yuan Dynasty officials on July 15, and fixed on this day.
This Chinese Yuan Festival is not only a Taoist religious festival, but also a folk festival. Three officials worshiped from the beginning of Taoism. The three officials of the first League of the League, namely the official, the earth official, and the water official, which later called it the Emperor of the Three Officials. They each have their own responsibility. The officials of the sky are the blessings of the Yuan Dynasty, the land official is the sin of Zhongyuan, and the water officer calls the Yuanyuan solution. In the Book of Dao, all three officials have to investigate the crime of the school on the crime of rewards and punishments. Among them, the local officials are governed by the prefecture, and of course the focus is on the ghosts of the road. So on this day, all the ghosts will leave the underworld and accept the examination. On this day, Dao Men will set up a routine day to celebrate the birthday of the official official. At the same time, the believers also contributed to set up fast to ask for the ancestors to ask for blessings. This is the main reason for the Chinese Yuan Festival to become a folk festival.
In July 15th is the Buddhist Yulan Pen Festival. "Obon" is the transliteration of Sanskrit. The original meaning is to solve the suspension. It is said that the apprentices of the Buddha are healthy and suffer from the evil before their births. Tell him that the monk of the monks (in China was July 15th) Zhai Monk, but he could save the ghosts from the suffering of hell. According to Buddhist rituals, the summer began in mid -April, that is, entered the temple to clear the repair. It was not allowed to go out during the day. It ended on July 15th. Chinese Buddhists created the "Yulan Pen Sutra" to promote the matter, and later formed the custom of setting up a ghost to set up a ghost. In this way, the characteristics of the Chinese Yuan Festival are the integration of the two religions of the Taoism. The activities of the ancestors worshiping ancestors, worshiping the lonely soul, surpassing the dead, and setting up ghosts are routine to become the largest "ghost festival" in the people.
The folk activities of the Yuan Dynasty, around the ancestral worship and wild ghosts, there are city gods who have a patrolling (dead ghosts), Taoist views and Buddhist temples hold Pudu Fa conferences, surpass the undead, and the folks are more new to the new grave. As the Chinese come to Southeast Asia and other regions, they also bring the customs of the Chinese Yuan Festival to those places. The Chinese Yuan event in Penang, Malaysia has a wide range of mass foundations, well -known. Liu Zhongyu

The "Pu" ceremony in the middle of the Yuan Festival can be divided into several categories due to the differences in organizational forms, such as street (also known as Hongpu), Shipu, Temple Pu (or Gongtao) and so on. The so -called street Pu refers to Pudu, which is mainly based on the neighborhood; the city Pu is the market -oriented Pudu; the temple is Pu Du hosted by the temple.
The is very common to celebrate Zhongyuan
It local in the local area, the street is a group of houses, or the street is the middle Yuan Festival. The temple is not doubtful.
If in my country is generally popular. In addition, local factories and industrial buildings generally have Pudu organization.
In recent years, due to the improvement of people's living standards, it is also very common to celebrate the Yuanyuan, and the powsing is also very particular. Local is like a year.
In Singapore, the general city Pu and Street will worship the big candle and the incense, and the rows are lined up. Some are more than ten or twenty feet high, which is spectacular.

There are white rice, bronze mirrors, ancient swords, small scales, scissors, ruler, umbrellas, and lit kerosene lamps in the bucket lamp. The ancients believed that this can avoid evil.
The long table in front of the altar is worshiped on the animal, and the flour is used as a material to pinch the birds and beasts, fish, crab aquariums and other supply products.
The bidding blessing of blessings
In addition to the sacrifice, these local organizations are also indispensable for blessings. Fire charcoal, rice barrels, ingots, big lottery, hair cakes, wine, electrical appliances, and children's toys with "Ukin", which are commonly known as "Ukin", have everything.
Pei sacrifice, what is inevitable is the brilliant bidding blessing, which is also one of the characteristics of the local Yuan Pudu.
This most of the owner of the furnace when bidding, and shouted the price of the bidder in a loud man. He always heard the banquet. It is lively, and the bidder is also very gas, because most people believe that the "bid" one thing can bring some wealth, so everyone is very generous, especially the business people.
The members of the responsible members of the Zhongyuan Association will use the considerable amount of the bid to be used as a charity fund or a member of the membership. Activities, make a good reserve, such as inviting a song or local opera to help.

Muragun Festival
On July 15th, Taoism is called the Zhongyuan Festival, Buddhism is called the Yulan Festival, and the old folks are called ghost festivals. For Tujili, the people of Shanxi today, especially the Jinbei people, renamed it as the surface plastic festival. Cultural connotation is very rich.
The source of the Middle Yuan Festival should be related to the ancestral ancestors in ancient my country. After the prevalence of Taoism, it was traditionally established and created the three official gods of heaven, earth, and water. It is said that the birthday of Tianguan is on the 15th of the first month, called the Yuan Festival. Its main responsibility is to bless the world. The birthday of the land official is on July 15th, which is called Zhongyuan Festival. Its main responsibility is for the sin for the world. The birthday of the water official is on October 15th, which is called the 10,000 yuan festival. Its main responsibility is to solve the world.
This compete with Taoism, and Buddhism determines that July 15th is the Obon Festival. Buddhism advocates compassion into goodness. In the three months of the rainy season of ancient India, Buddhist rituals banned monks and nuns from going out, saying that it was easy to hurt plants, wood, insect ants, and required monks to study in the temple to study and receive support. This period is called the settlement period. After Buddhism is passed on to my country, according to the seasonal changes in our country, it is stipulated that the settlement period is from April 16th to July 15th. Later, according to the scriptures, the Buddhist legends of "Save Mother Save Mother" were produced. The idea was Mu Lian, a disciple of Buddha Shakyamuni, and saw the dead mother suffering in hell and suffered. If you make every way to save each other, you have failed, so he had to ask the Buddha. Sakyamuni explained that his mother had a great crime before his lifetime, and he could be saved by the power of one person. He told Mu Lian to the day of July 15th. The public, with the help of the monks, can relieve their mother's suffering. Mu Yan even instructed to do it, and it really worked. This kind of Buddhist activity is known as the Obon. Yulan is the transliteration of ancient Indian Sanskrit, which means to hang upside down and describe the suffering of the dead. The pot is Chinese, which refers to the vessels that are placed in the offerings. Obon refers to such Buddhist activities, which can liberate the suffering of the dead.
This Buddhism has evolved on July 15th into the "Filial Filial Day" on July 15 with the help of the Confucian tradition's "filial piety" etiquette. Not only has the recognition of traditional culture in my country, but also is generally welcomed by official folks, so it has the greatest influence on July 15th folk activities.
The Buddhist world of Wutai Mountain, on July 15th, will hold the Ben Pen Penfedo meeting as usual, and read the scriptures to surpass the undead. Some of the people around them should go to the temple to set up confession, sound, pray, and pray for their ancestors.
In in the folk, every family must go to the grave to commemorate the ancestors.
The Jinnan area is used to using paper to make lights and burned in front of the grave, which means that the deadline is bright. The food of the ancestors is like a bun. If the ancestors died for three years, the children would take off their filial piety on this day and change to the clothes, commonly known as filial piety.
It Jinbei Grave to commemorate the ancestors, prey of making ravioli, flour, round, and a red dot in the middle. After the supply, the paper is burned, and when you go home, you must pull a few valleys and numbs from the ground, wrap it with green note, stand in front of the window, and worship the noodles. After the section, the roof was moved. In the roots, the ears were exposed to the outside, called picking Ma Valley. The popularity of folk is to bless the grains. However, the rules of the noodle people seem to be the remains of early people's customs.
In July 15 to memorize the dead, the most solemn is the river lamp. The people are used to using wooden boards and five -color paper to make various colored lights and make candles. Some people also show the names of the dead on the lamp. Commercial banks and other units are used to making a colorful water boat, called Dafa ship. Legend has it that all the undead can be surpassed to the ideal world. Being a person with a Zen stick on the boat symbolizes the consecutive. Some are also made into Guanyin Bodhisattva. At night, put the paper boat and paper lights in the river to let it drift in water. People judge whether the dead soul is saved based on the floating situation of the lamp. If the lights are spinning in the water, it is considered to be dragged by ghosts. If the light sinks in the water, it is considered to be saved by the dead soul, and it has been reincarnated. If the lights are drifting far or on the shore, it is considered to have reached the world of the other side, ranking heaven and immortal class. In short, everything is a good wish.
The river lights, especially the lamps in the Yellow River. Hequ County in the northwest of Jin is close to the Yellow River. The river is wide and the water flows gentle. On the night of July 15th, men, women, and children in the city gathered in front of the scene in front of the Yellow River bank to watch the river lights. Various colored lights drift in the water, and children stare at their own lights. The old lady's mouth was thinking, and she kept praying. Today's river lamp has become a happy event.
On July 15th, folk also prevailed to sacrifice land and crops. Sprinkle the supply into the field. After burning the paper, use the five -color paper cut into broken strips and wrap it around the crops. It is said that hail attacks can be avoided and the big autumn harvest can be obtained. In some places, they also have to go to the Houti Temple for sacrifice. Dingxiang County folklore hangs the head of hemp and valley.
Prior to July 15th festival, folk women prevailed for plastic plastic activities, and the Jinbei region was the most intense. A steamed flowers, neighbors to help. First of all, according to the family's real number (including married daughters, son -in -law, grandson, another son, daughter -in -law, grandson, etc.), give everyone a big flower. The flowers for the juniors should be pinched into a flat type, called noodle sheep, and kneeling on the lambs to eat milk, hoping that the juniors will not forget the parental grace of their parents; People, which means that the children of the children are full of children, and the blessing of the blessing; the flowers to the flat generation must be pinched into a fish shape, called noodle fish, which means that it has been more than years. It is not so strict now. It is completely based on the taste of the owner. Sheep, tigers, cattle, fish, rabbits, and people have various shapes. After pinching the flowers per capita, after finishing the squeezing, you must also pinch a lot of flowers, fruits, peaches, Li, lotus, chrysanthemum, plum, etc., and embellishment with flowers, birds, butterflies, dragons, and squirrels. The head is smaller than before, as a gift for relatives and friends. After these noodles are steamed, they pass through five colors and look lifelike. Each one can be called an excellent handicraft. Looking at the face plastic on July 15, it has become a show of a dexterous craftsmanship of farm women's exhibitions.
Mu metary festival and wine
In July 15th of the lunar calendar, the Zhongyuan Festival. The fifteenth day of the ancient Chinese first month was the Yuan Festival, July 15th was the Central Yuan Festival, and on October 15th. After the emergence of Taoism, the gods worshiped include Tianguan, Earth Officer, Water Officer, and match the "three yuan" and "three officials". On the 15th, Xiayuan Water officials were October 15. Therefore, Daodu will set up altars on July 15th. Taoism and Buddhism, on this day's activities, are specific rules and practices. The people's memorial service is relatively free. The offerings are not enough for the ancestors to enjoy the ancestors and the lonely ghosts, those supplies. Because of the formation of folk festivals. "Yan's Family Training" in Northern Qi, "Jingchu" in the Southern Dynasty, "Tokyo Menghua Record", "Mengliang Record" in the Song Dynasty, "Emperor Jingshi Shi Jisheng" and so on Both are mentioned in the Zhongyuan Festival and the Obon Festival. Some books say that a few days before the Chinese Yuan Festival, there were soldiers on the market. When they were sold, they sold fresh melon fruits. There is also the custom of putting lanterns on the water, which means to recruit lonely ghosts in the water to enjoy the sacrifice. Children are playing with paper lanterns, seven or eight feet old, which is eye -catching. Those who go outside the city to sacrifice the tomb are endless, and they are better than the clear festival.
Mu metary festival
I knows that there are Zhongyuan Festival, I have seen it in literary works, thinking that it is a folk custom that is popular in the Yellow River Basin. But if you want to come, it is not as authentic as the Yellow River flow. On my feelings, the night of the night should always be fog. In the dim, the ancestors of the ancestors of the ancestors were very attractive under the reflection of the candlelight and incense. , Drive to heaven. Most of the works of adults do not mention what works. I think they are mostly tie the ancestors and children and then cook for them. This is a round scene. The ghost festival should be a happy festival.
The real understanding of the customs of the Chinese Yuan Festival is what happened to Singapore. Of course, what I know is only Singapore's Zhongyuan Festival, a Zhongyuan Festival that has nothing to do with the river lamp.
The Yuan Festival in Singapore is commonly known as Ghost Festival. In terms of specifications, the Yuan Festival should be the July 15th of the lunar calendar. Because July 15th of the lunar calendar is the Zhongyuan of the age order, the festival on this day is called Zhongzhong Zhongzhong Zhongzhong Zhongzhong. Yuan Festival. Because of Buddhism, the Bon will also be held on July 15th of the lunar calendar, and some places are called "Bon Festival" on this day. The Buddhist attaches great importance to July 15th. On that day, a lot of events are held. "Lighting and taking lights" is a small ritual in it. This ritual is passed to the people to become a mysterious and romantic river lamp. Although the purpose of letting the river lamp is divergent, it is always a bit linked to the ghost. I am very bitter in hell, and I can't find the way to get my life! If there is a dead ghost on this day, you have to get rid of a riverside lantern, you have to get rid of the "
The" Put the Lantern in the Buddhist Lantern "by the people to absorb the river lights of the people according to their simple wishes, Zhongyuan The festival crosses the underworld and the borders and comes to Singapore, which has also undergone a lot of changes. You can't find the shadow of the river lights in the Zhongyuan Festival in Singapore. This month, people try not to move as much as possible, do not buy business, and try not to travel. This month's air tickets are also low throughout the year. Some people who do not believe in evil use this opportunity to go abroad. Of course, people who believe in evil are still the majority. July in Singapore's lunar calendar is the hot summer season, but no matter how hot the weather is, people in the swimming pool are always sparse. To avoid evil, they will also pay attention to speaking and try to avoid saying unlucky words. Children are particularly miserable. It is said that children's eyes are particularly spiritual. You can see something that should not be seen. In order to prevent children from being frightened, many parents put their children at home at seven o'clock.
Iaren people believe that July 1st is the day when the ghost door is opened. In the future, ghosts can be free to enter and leave the yin and yang. Insert two candles on the grass, and then insert three seven twenty -one incense next to the candle. Put the yin coins prepared in advance, the supply of Buddha spells, sugar tea in front of the candle, and then click on The candle burned incense and worshiped three worships. After worshiping, I took the coin. This burning barrel is the gasoline barrel removed the top cover, and then made a few holes in the side. It is a fresh play that only appeared in recent years. The emergence of the burning barrel is because the government believes that it is too much to clean and it is difficult to clean up the direct -burning paper in front of the candles that had been inserted like before. Therefore, the government will place some incineration buckets in front of the group from January to July for people to burn paper. Some people cannot agree with the concepts of their own burned paper with the mix of others' houses. They have to go to the grocery store to buy small paper buckets for their own use. More people seem to be able to bear the smoke of burning paper, especially the three days of the first day, fifteenth, and twenty -nine days. Essence Many people complained to the government for this, and the government had to persuade everyone to burn less, saying that it was ritual and affection. A company seized this business opportunity and researched a new type of incineration barrel for everyone to try. It is said that the response was good. Maybe next year we will use a new type of incineration barrel worth 1,500 yuan. I heard that the new product is box -shaped, so It should be called an incineration box.
Me each household to celebrate the Central Yuan, some Chinese companies will collectively celebrate Zhongyuan. The company's row of the company is bigger than the small households. There are many tributes. There are rice with a whole bag, all kinds of cans, biscuits and fruits. These tributes are placed on a wooden table, and there are several bowls of mouth thick and fragrant in front of the table. What excites the employees is that the boss ordered the incense incense in addition to the ghost brothers to bless the business and ask them to buy four auspicious tickets. These four numbers are shared by the whole company. When buying, there are also knowledge. The most common thing is to buy, buy and eat. It is said that the opportunity is very large. Perhaps the ghost brothers are really a little spiritual.
The most powerful Zhongyuan Qingzan must count the community or hawker center. Essence The main purpose of the singing table is the entertainment ghost brothers. It is said that the early song table was a big drama. Now it has been changed to singing, and most of them are popular songs. Most of the singers of the Zhongyuan Festival singer are not well -known. Because of the appearance fee, the competition is fierce. In order to attract people, female singers are often exposed. , Tight pants and net eye clothes. Although the singer uses the doctrine, there are fewer and fewer people watching the song platform. It does not count the seats left to the ghost brothers in the first few rows, and the rest of the seats are dissatisfied. culture. Of course, there are also a group of songwriting enthusiasts who work hard to sing. Most of them are older. They will turn around the newspaper to check the song information every day and follow the song table. I don't know if there are ghosts running with the song platform, and they don't know if they change from big drama to popular songs, but I don't think that the entertainment ingredients of Ge Terrays are getting less and less, but more and more components of charming people are.
In addition to the song table, another event worth mentioning is the Zhongyuan Festival shouting. The bidding was performed at the end of the worship ceremony and half of the Zhongyuan banquet was eaten. The organizers will try to find some small and famous people in the entertainment industry to shout. Their bids are mostly obligations, mainly doing good things, and to promote themselves by the way. Most of the blessings used to call the target are mascots with good colored heads, the most common is golden dragon and yellow pear, as well as ingenuity. For example Come'. The blessing itself is not worthy. The bidder is voted for a good color. Putting the blessing at home is equivalent to bringing good color heads home; the blessing is more lucky on the blessing. Lottery betting. As for the money obtained by the bid, some are used to serve as the cost of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, and some of them donated to welfare institutions such as Renci Hospital.
In in recent years, Zhongyuan Qingzan has faced a big problem. First of all, the younger generation influenced by Western culture cannot accept this culture that is very ethnic, although it is rustic, and has no succession in Zhongyuan Qingzan. Secondly, some people suddenly couldn't stand the smoke and song table of burning paper, shouting the underlying noise, and frequently complained to the government. The government also seems to buy these people's accounts. While continuously improving the incineration barrel, this year, it is also clear that the celebration activities must end at half an hour in the previous year before 10.30. As the event ended in advance, the enthusiasts of the song table could not be enjoyed, and the money obtained by the bidding also shrinks greatly. Except for the amount necessary for the second year to celebrate Zhongyuan, there are almost few donations to welfare agencies. This makes people feel better than ghosts, but July is their festival, and the living people have to concession.
I I have spent five middle Yuan Festival in Singapore. At the beginning, I was curious, and even a little scared. I gradually fell in love with this festival and learned to worship the Singaporeans. Will come to Singapore to come to this festival. Ghosts are actually not terrible. The terrible part is parting, especially the parting between yin and yang.
Mu Yin Festival
Mungeon festival -July 15th of the lunar calendar on the Chinese traditional festival "Zhongyuan Festival". In the south, it is also known as the "ghost festival". However, the Zhongyuan Festival that has so far is on July 14. It is said that at the end of the Song Dynasty, when people were preparing for the festival, Yuan Bing suddenly invaded, so he had to worship his ancestors one day in advance, and the festival was so early.
In the day of the holiday, people brought sacrifice and went to the grave to sacrifice their ancestors, similar to the Qingming Festival on the grave. In the feudal era, the local government also ordered the monk Taoist to set up a lonely soulway to sacrifice the death of the deaths. During the Chinese Yuan Festival, people would burn a large amount of paper money.
