Ghosts might be restricted on Chinese screens, but there are plenty of monster films to watch this Zhongyuan Festival
Today, the door of the underworld opens and its residents can visit the world of the living. At least, that’s the traditional belief that underpins Zhongyuan Festival, or Ghost Festival, which occurs on the fifth day of the seventh lunar month in China. Chinese people traditionally burn “ghost money (冥币),” paper clothes, and even paper gadgets like iPhones to offer to their ancestors (though celebrations may vary from place to place).
