origin

The fifteenth of July is also the Buddhist Yulanpen Festival. Yulan basin is a transliteration of Sanskrit. "Yulan" in Sanskrit means hanging upside down, describing the state of misery, basin refers to utensils for offerings. Buddhism believes that offering this device can relieve the upside-down suffering of the deceased parents and relatives. The peony basin is the meaning of "unhanging upside down". The ceremony of Buddhist celebration of Zhongyuan Festival is called "the peony pot meeting". The celebration of Zhongyuan Festival is not only to worship the deceased relatives, but also to commemorate the eyedrops who saved their mother from hell in Buddhist scriptures in order to praise his filial piety.

Taoism's Zhongyuan Festival and Buddhism's Yulan Festival gradually merged with folk customs and beliefs of ghosts and moons, and became a grand traditional folk festival with rich connotations and customs, which integrates sacrifice, sacrifice, relief and forgiveness. In Chaoshan, Fujian and Hong Kong, people attach great importance to it. Especially in Hong Kong, Chao Ren Yulansheng will have unprecedented grandeur.
