农历七月 /中元节

每年的农历七月，有华人的地区就会有中元节普渡的活动。这是民间信仰和道教祭祀无主孤魂的月份。七月十五是中元节的正日，也是三官大帝的地官大帝赦罪的日子。

在农历七月民间会在路边用简单的祭品和焚化冥纸来布施没有人祭拜的无主孤魂。比较正确的是把冥纸焚化掉。把金银纸丢向天，撒进水或撒在地面，这样做，这些无主孤魂是拿不到的。

Every year during the lunar seventh month, Chinese folk culture and Taoism believers will make offering for the wandering souls whom don’t have any descendants. During this month, simple prayer with food and paper money known as kimzua will be used when doing offering.

For education purposes majority of the believers will burn the kimzua after making food offering. According to most practitioners , throwing the kimzua into the air, land or water, the wandering soul will not be able to receive it. Furthermore, using the standard burner provided by the authority, due to its size and design, please burn the paper in smaller quantity each time, do not throw in large quantity so that it will not generate too much smoke.
