A Spooky and Delicious Halloween
A Spooky and Delicious Halloween
Are you as excited for Halloween as we are? We love getting into the spirit and are so excited to decorate the restaurant. Bring on all the orange, pumpkins, skulls, and creepy spooking decor!!
While China doesn’t tend to celebrate Halloween like we do in the United States, the Chinese do celebrate the Hungry Ghost Festival (or Yulan Festival as it’s traditionally called). This takes place on the 14th night of the 7th Lunar month.
While China doesn’t tend to celebrate Halloween like we do in the United States, the Chinese do celebrate the Hungry Ghost Festival (or Yulan Festival as it’s traditionally called). This takes place on the 14th night of the 7th Lunar month.
This festival signifies the opening of the gates of the spirit realm, permitting spirits to walk the earth. It’s been celebrated for over 100 years; many Chinese people believe that spirits need to be appeased in order for them to pass in peace. Because of this, food and drink are left out for the ghosts. Some believe that their ancestors and passed loved ones come back to check on their family.
