The Ghost Festival : 中元节
old people used to say " Don't roam around at night, stay home! after you accidently step on dirty thing~" The earliest memories I have is probrably growing up with my aunt, planting joss stick and candle by the roadside.. tossing 'shit candy' (colourful poo shaped candy on a button biscuit) around the pavement, not sure if i'm supposed to pick those up to eat~ but i kinda remember doing so.
Anyway it the thing of the past, since my family doesn't pray but nevertheless there no harm trying to observe this ancient tradition even when one is not pious~
