HUNGRY GHOST FESTIVAL
About Hungry Ghost Festival :
Well, Hungry Ghost Festival is the celebration that had been celebrated by Chinese people beside celebration of the year, Chinese New Year. This celebration was made because Chinese believed that during the seventh month, the Gates of Hell are opened. Ghost are free to wander in search for food.
Why Chinese believe this? :
There are two main reason to answer this question. First, they fear that the revengeful spirit may come back again to take revenge toward them. The spirit may take the revenge for those who had wronged them in theirs lives. Second, they felt the spirit is one of the part who can helping them to own a successful business.
How was the celebration? :
They would first offer food to their ancestors as they believes and hopes that ancestors being the first to be offered food won't be hungry ghost. As ancestors spirit are being taken by the descendants, they are not called hungry ghost. Most Chinese descendants does take care of their ancestors by inaugurating name tablets in their homes or associations.
