[quote=RAINDROP,475822]According to Chinese tradition, the seventh month in lunar calendar is regarded as the Ghost Month, in which ghosts come out from the nether world into this world for food. July 15th (Aug. 31st this year) is their most important day during the month and even in a whole year, which is called Ghost Day or Zhong Yuan Festival. On that day, the king of the nether world and ghosts wear their best for celebration. People in this world also celebrate the day to express their yearnings toward their deceased ancestors, by sacrificing food, sweeping ancestors' tombs, burning spirit money and floating river lanterns, etc.[/quote]
