In Chinese culture, the seventh month in the Chinese calendar is regarded as the Ghost Month, in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm.

Activities during the Ghost Month would include preparing ritualistic food offerings, burning incense, and burning joss paper, a papier-mache form of material items such as clothes, gold and other fine goods for the visiting spirits of the ancestors.

在华人文化中，农历七月份被认为是鬼月，其中鬼神，包括那些已故的祖先，会从较低的境界出来。

在鬼月期间的活动将包括准备食物供品，烧香，烧冥镪，纸型形式物品，如衣服，黄金和其他细品给来访的祖先。
