ghost month

Ghost Month, primarily observed in Chinese culture, refers to a lunar month during which it is believed that the spirits of the deceased return to the living world. Traditionally, this occurs in the seventh month of the lunar calendar. People honor their ancestors by making offerings, such as food and incense, and participating in rituals to appease wandering spirits. Celebratory events are often avoided during this period, as it’s considered a time of caution. Ghost Month reflects the cultural respect for ancestors and the belief in maintaining harmony between the living and the spirit world.
