What an interesting way to remember the dead. For the Chinese they remember the dead around the month of April, we follow the lunar calendar. People would go to the tombstone and do tombsweeping. But there's also another month that is similar to what Halloween is, which we call it the ghost month that falls on the seventh month of the lunar calendar, but we don't have costumes lol. According to legend it says that on the seventh month the gates of hell will open and the dead will come to visit the living. So you'll see tents set up along assigned streets with idols and Chinese opera stages and the things used for worshipping the dead are being laid out. All of this are being done to appease the dead so that they will not 'terrorise' the living. Some would also burn paper money, joss sticks and offer food near their living compound too. However, there's a recent revelation that some researchers found from the artifacts and scribes when the tradition started that apparently back in the olden days in China, one of the top officials of their days who practiced astronomy knew the seventh month was a good month that brings blessings, but he had a covetous heart and wanted all the blessings to himself, so he told his underlings to put out a fake news to the peasants across the kingdom to be mindful that the seventh month is a ghost month and that they should stay indoors. So the peasants who were mostly uneducated were very fearful and hence, they were not fruitful that month. This lie has come down for many generations and is still widely practiced to this day.
