中国人敬天祭祖的传统
中元节,是道教名称,民间世俗称为七月半,佛教则称为盂兰盆节。节日习俗主要有祭祖、放河灯、祀亡魂、焚纸锭、祭祀土地等。它的诞生可追溯到上古时代的祖灵崇拜以及相关时祭。七月乃吉祥月、孝亲月,七月半是民间初秋庆贺丰收、酬谢大地的节日,有若干农作物成熟,民间按例要祀祖,用新稻米等祭供,向祖先报告秋成。它是追怀先人的一种文化传统节日,其文化核心是敬祖尽孝。
“七月半”原本是上古时代民间的祭祖节,而被称为“中元节”,则是源于东汉后道教的说法。佛教则称七月半为“盂兰盆节”。一定意义上,七月半祭祖节归属民间世俗,中元节归属道教,盂兰盆节归属佛教。
七月十四/十五祭祖是流行于汉字文化圈诸国以及海外华人地区的传统文化节日,这天通过虔诚的祭祀活动,表达慎终追远的情怀。 [39] 与除夕、清明节、重阳节均是中华民族传统的祭祖大节。2010年5月,文化部将香港特区申报的“中元节(潮人盂兰胜会)”入选,列入国家级非物质文化遗产名录。

Hope everyone's ready for a spooky weekend! 万圣节快乐!
I would bet good money on the fact that even a lot of the Western world isn't familiar with "All Saints Day" (Or All-Hallows day), which actually is November 1st, so how did China adopt this Christian name for Halloween?
I know what you're thinking - "Ghost day" would be the obvious option.
Well, "Ghost day" or 鬼节 (guǐ jiē) is already an existing concept in Chinese culture. 鬼节 is the umbrella term for the three main lunar holidays that are dedicated to honouring the dead, one being tomb-sweeping.
