In this current leap year in the lunar calendar, there have been two seventh lunar months. These "ghost months" are considered especially inauspicious by ordinary folk. This year, a variety of folk customs relating to gods and ghosts are held with particular solemnity.
今年農曆閏 7 月，一年兩個「鬼月」，被民間視為煞氣特別重，各種與神鬼相關的民俗活動也特別慎重。
