▍What is Ghost Month？ Let’s learn about Taiwanese culture together
In Taiwanese folk culture “the seventh month of the lunar calendar” is popularly known as Ghost Month. This is a time when the “Good Brothers (deceased souls)” return to the world of humans, while Taiwanese prepare offerings for them and pray for peace.
Several common taboos and customs are observed during “the seventh month of the lunar calendar”:
•No patting people on the shoulder
•No random taking of photographs
•No whistling at night
•No hanging up clothes to dry at night
•No birthday celebrations
•No visiting hospitals
•No sticking chopsticks upright in bowls
•No returning home too late at night
•Offer the deceased souls ready-to-eat food, avoiding items that are strung together or in clusters
The above behavior is faith-based and not necessarily supported by science. Remember to be open minded about cultural differences as that is the best way to understand and respect other people.
