Chinese Ghost

Festival.

Dong-men Primary School, Taipei, Taiwan

Danny Yang

The Chinese believes that the dead will become ghosts roaming between Heaven and earth.

In July on the Chinese calendar, we celebrate this festival because of thetraditional Chinese ethic of “universal love” . Ghost Gate opened at July 1st. In the special month,we worship the ghosts, until July 30th.

In Taiwan,we will kill pigs and goats

in Ghost Festival .We offer wine and

meat to ancestors and ghosts with a

large table. Chinese Ghost activities

are also held at this time around the

island, crowned by the grand

Keelung Ghost Day Ceremony.

We will use fruits to worship their ancestors and ghosts, some fruits can worship, but some fruits can’t.For example: 1.bananas 2.tomatos 3.Pineappl
