Closed the door of ghost

Today, July 29th of the lunar calendar is the day closed the door of ghost. In Chinese tradition, the door of ghost is opened July, 1st of the lunar calendar. Ghosts that people call “good-brother” go out to find food for eating. Ksitigarbha give good-brother one month, so people or temple will provide much sacrificial offering for avoiding good-brother’s interference. The door of ghost is closed in the end of July of the lunar calendar, so the good-brother will go back their place before the door closed. People and good-brother live in different place but we have to respect each other.
