The seventh lunar month is a time of release for the ghosts. All exorcistic activities such as the interrogation or expulsion of ghosts or the apotropaic opening of the temple doors are strictly forbidden. This is so that innocent ghosts are not inadvertently harmed.
農曆 7 月是鬼的暑假，一切驅鬼除煞活動如暗訪、出煞、開廟門等儀式都必需禁止，避免傷及無辜鬼魂。
