History of Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-autumn Festival dates back over 3,000 years, to moon worshipping in the Shang Dynasty. Ancient Chinese emperors worshiped the moon in the autumn, as they believed that the practice would bring them another harvest year. The word “mid-autumn” first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty. During that time, worshipping the moon on the 15th night of the eighth month had spread to high officials and rich families. The practice entailed placing a large table in the middle of the yard under the moon, and they put offerings such as fruits and snacks on the table. However, not until the early Tang Dynasty was the day officially celebrated as a traditional festival. It then became an established festival during the Song Dynasty, and has become as popular as the Spring Festival since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Appreciating the moon has been a custom since the Tang Dynasty (618–907). Not only the rich merchants and officials, but also the common citizens, liked appreciating the moon together at that time. The rich merchants and officials held big parties in their big courts. They drank and appreciated the bright moon. Music and dances were also indispensable. The common citizens just prayed to the moon for a good harvest. The tradition of eating mooncakes during the festival bgan in Yuan Dynasty. At the end of Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368, a dynasty ruled by the Mongols), the Han people’s army wanted to overthrow the rule of the Mongols, so they planed an uprising, but they had no way to inform every Han who wanted to join them of the time of the uprising without being discovered by the Mongols. One day, the military counselor of the Han people’s army, Liu Bowen, thought out a stratagem related to mooncakes. Liu Bowen asked his soldiers to spread the rumor that there would be a serious disease in winter and eating mooncakes was the only way to cure the disease, then he asked soldiers to write "uprising, at the night of Mid-Autumn Festival" on papers and put them into mooncakes then sell them to common Han people. When the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival came a huge uprising broke out. From then on, people eat mooncakes every Mid-Autumn Festival to commemorate the uprising. [Click here to read full article]

Legend of Mid Autumn Festival

On the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese calendar every year, Mid-Autumn Festival (Zhong Qiu Jie) or what some called as Moon cake Festival or Lantern festival is being celebrated. On this very day, it will always be of a full moon without fail! The Moon on this very night will be always very big, bright and round. If you were looking at the moon, you will see some images.

What most people would see would be either a Maiden or a Rabbit! Very few people will see a toad! You should not see any other images than these 3 images. There is an explanation in fact to why it can only be one of those 3 images.

There are however several versions of this story and henceforth many arguments as a result. It has been said that each provinces of China has their own individual versions. The story that I know when I was a kid is as follows:

Chinese Cupid God, Yue Lao

Yue Lao

The Chinese version of the cupid would be Yue Lao. Cupid to the western is a young chap who is some sort of angel that shoots love arrows. All he needs to do is to shoot his first arrow at one person followed by the second arrow at another person. The person whom had been shot by his arrow would be connected together and fall in love with each other. Yue Lao on the other hand is an old man living in the moon. He is a matchmaker as well as the god of marriages. All humans have a piece of red string. All he needs to do is to tie a knot with the red threads as one piece. Whosoever whose strings is being tied together would fall in love and come together eventually.

Chinese Ghost Month in Brief

The Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival and holiday celebrated by Chinese in many countries. In the Chinese calendar (a lunisolar calendar), the Ghost Festival is on the 15th night of the seventh lunar month (14th in southern China).

In Chinese tradition, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is called Ghost Day and the seventh month in general is regarded as the Ghost Month (鬼月), in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm. Distinct from both the Qingming Festival (in Spring) and Chung Yeung Festival (in Autumn) in which living descendants pay homage to their deceased ancestors, on Ghost Day, the deceased are believed to visit the living.

On the fifteenth day the realms of Heaven and Hell and the realm of the living are open and both Taoists and Buddhists would perform rituals to transmute and absolve the sufferings of the deceased. Intrinsic to the Ghost Month is ancestor worship, where traditionally the filial piety of descendants extends to their ancestors even after their deaths.

Activities during the month would include preparing ritualistic food offerings, burning incense, and burning joss paper, a papier-mâché form of material items such as clothes, gold and other fine goods for the visiting spirits of the ancestors. Elaborate meals (often vegetarian meals) would be served with empty seats for each of the deceased in the family treating the deceased as if they are still living.

Ancestor worship is what distinguishes Qingming Festival from Ghost Festival because the latter includes paying respects to all deceased, including the same and younger generations, while the former only includes older generations. Other festivities may include, buying and releasing miniature paper boats and lanterns on water, which signifies giving directions to the lost ghosts and spirits of the ancestors and other deities.

Chinese Ghost at Fault for August Stocks ?

Is the “Ghost Month” to blame for the recent rollercoaster ride in stock markets around the world? During the first two weeks of August, stock markets worldwide had a freefall, went back up again, slid again, then back up once more.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), for example: plummeted 4.31% on August 4 after credit rating agency S&P downgraded the United States declined 5.5% more on August 8 bounced back 3.98% on August 9 fell another 4.6% on August 10 but rose 3.9% on August 11 And it’s probably just starting.

U.S. stocks were not the only ones in a whirlwind these first weeks of August. As seen in the chart below, stock exchanges in the UK, Korea, Hong Kong and the Philippines all went through a crazy round of market volatility.

Buyers target Hong Kong's 'haunted houses'

By Aidan Jones

HONG KONG — It may not be everyone's idea of a dream home, but for bargain hunters in Hong Kong's turbocharged property market apartments that belonged to the recently deceased are proving irresistible -- and the more gruesome the occupant's demise the better.

Popular belief in a city awash with superstition runs that the ghost of a person who dies in unnatural circumstances -- a suicide, murder or bad accident -- inhabits their home, passing misfortune onto the new occupants.

The threat carries weight in a city where feng shui consultants do brisk business; families placate the "hungry ghosts" of their ancestors with offerings and people even refrain from whistling in the street in fear of disturbing lurking spooks.

By law, buyers are entitled to details on so-called "haunted houses" -- or hongza in Cantonese -- and many rigorously check the backstory to their potential purchase.

But not everyone is afraid of ghosts, and in the cut and thrust of Hong Kong's runaway property market some investors are actively following the tragedies, aware that dark incidents push the price down.

Hong Kong's hot market in haunted houses

By Peter Shadbolt for CNN

For sale: Hong Kong apartment with sweeping sea views and three rooms, all signs of a recent grisly murder in the bathroom eliminated, will take offers between 15-20% below market value.

In Hong Kong, where superstitions can make or break a property deal, a real estate advertisement like this is not beyond the realms of the fantastic.

With the local property market showing signs of cooling, almost every angle is worked to increase yields, and a trade in so-called haunted houses is now a visible feature of the market.

"There are a group of people that go around and bid on them," explains Eric Wong, a realtor with Hong Kong's Squarefoot.com.hk. "Chinese people, especially in Hong Kong, don't like houses where something unfortunate has happened.

"This means they can sell for less, which makes the rental yields greater. The normal yields are between 3-4%, but an apartment where there's been a murder can get a yield of about 7%," he said.

The apartment is then rented to someone who does not share the same set of beliefs -- normally a foreigner -- although some realtors say there are Chinese clients who don't care and one even identifies doctors and nurses 'who are used to working around the dead' as potential tenants.

"It often depends on the circumstances of the death and what stories and rumors are attached to it," says Wong. Particularly gruesome murders or harrowing deaths can affect the market price of the whole floor of apartments; in some cases, the entire building.

"There was a bad murder in an apartment block in Quarry Bay in Hong Kong," he says. "A wife killed her husband, cut the body into pieces and placed the parts in dustbins on every floor. Even 15 years later, apartments in that block are still difficult to sell."

Fans snap ghostly image during Hacken Li concert

A fan of Hong Kong singer Hacken Li Ke Qin reported that her husband took photos of a female ghost during his concert.

The fan, Ms Tan, attended Hacken's recent concert with her husband.

Both were using their mobile phones to take photos of the concert.

When she got home, she was surprised to find that some photos from her husband's phone contained images of what looked like a female ghost.

The image is that of a very pale woman with long black hair and clothed in white. There is also blood at the corner of her mouth. She appears flittingly at different parts of the stage and only her top half seem to be "projected" on the stage.

Ms Tan said, "The image (of the female ghost) wasn't seen during the concert." (So this probably isn't deliberate special effects for the concert.)

Noah's Ark discovery in Turkey

Turkish daily news hurriyet reports that a group of Hong Kong and Turkish evangelical explorers said Monday they believe they may have found Noah's Ark at the top of Turkey’s legendary Mount Ararat.

The biblical story says God decided to flood the earth after seeing how corrupt it had become and told Noah to build an ark and fill it with two of every animal species.

After the flood waters receded, the Bible says, the ark came to rest on a mountain. Many believe Mount Ararat, the highest point in the region, is where the ark and its inhabitants came aground

What is a Chinese Vampire All About ? 华人殭屍是什麼一回事?

What is a Chinese Vampire all about? Well, the impression that most of us have is those from the movies and we would often thought that only during the Qing dynasty which was the last dynasty of china that has vampires.

In actual fact, those you see from the movies are Manchurian Vampires to be more exact.

Chinese Vampires is all about that skipping, hopping , jumping or leaping around.

There are many grades of them. The rather lower grade ones, ya , they are the jumping ones something somewhat similar to what you see in the movies. However, the higher grades ones do not.

所谓吸血僵尸是什么？
我们大家都熟习的中华式吸血僵尸，恐怕只限于清朝。
其清朝为中国最后朝代，而电影中所见的吸血僵尸，只限于清朝而已。
有人视为满洲式僵尸。

中华式吸血僵尸， 所谓行走方式为一步一步往前跳。

吸血僵尸分阶级。低级的如电影中一步一步跳。高级才非也。



The Higher grades ones have the ability of transformations in animals etc.. and some even have the ability of elemental summoning or other forms of summoning !

The only way to really have a Chinese Vampire destroyed is by the means of cremation. They are really destroyed once they have been turned into ashes.

As long as they are not turned into ashes, they are never destroyed in the first place. If you want to destroy a Chinese, Do really destroy it and do not allow it a chance to escape and recover.

The reason would that once it fully recovers from the wounds and injuries you have inflected on it, it will be become more and more powerful that before. Defeating and destroying it simply just gets harder and harder each time by then.

The Common point of Vampires of Asia regardless which race or nationality it is from, as long as they are Asians they share a common point which is that they cannot cross water!

I am talking about rivers, lakes , oceans etc.. when i am say that they cannot cross waters. The only way is unless they are being transported across the waters by other means such as boat etc... But if it just crossing of the waters by themselves on their own, they are not able to do so.

高级吸血僵尸， 具有变身成动物等等， 或者操作火水风雷。

毁灭吸血僵尸的唯一方法，只限于焚化烧尸。 化成灰为灭。

不化成灰， 非灭。要毁灭中华式吸血僵尸就要彻底。

如果被打伤而有机恢复痊愈，就成不如前之强化敌军，随着败北次数愈难攻愈不落。

亚洲吸血鬼共同点乃： 无法渡水。

所谓水为川，湖，海。渡水体唯一方式为搭船。否则，渡海不可。

Things that can be used on a Chinese Vampire when exorcising it or protecting yourself would be as follows :
1) Garlic 大蒜
2) Glutinous rice 糯米 (they must not be cooked !)
3) Salt 鹽

The rest not mentioned, leave it to the exorcist master !
The above mentioned 3 are already fundamental and basic enough.

For your information, the Western or the Caucasian way of Vampire exorcism such as Holy water, the Cross, Bible or by the means of piercing the heart of the vampire cannot defeat or exorcist a Chinese Vampire. It is defiantly not applicable and has no effects on the Chinese Vampire.

There are many ways how a Vampire can come into existence. The below would just some out of the many.

1) Victims of Premature burial
2) Improper Death
3) Suicide 自殺
4) Desires to cause trouble to the living after death
5) Coffin exposed to Moonlight
6) Improper Burial Procedures
7) Died of a Violet Death
8) An angry and restless deceased when alive
9) or angry and restless dead on the living for postponing burial
10) A Black Cat that jump over the coffin 黑貓跳過棺材

To simplify how come a person can become into a vampire, it defiantly has something to do with the soul or spirit having troubles living the body when it really had should ! Hence, it became into a vampire, half dead half alive ! A dead not able to be really dead and the living that is not able to be alive.

It is only by the means of cremation that it can in peace finally once it has been turned into ashes. You can keep the ashes if you want to, but keep it properly this time and be very careful of it.

In any event that this ash is stolen, people who knows witchcraft and black magic can have this Vampire brought back to life again from the ashes. However if the ashes is being blown away by the wind and already scattered then this possibility is zero in the first place.

打退僵尸护身法，只唯有以下三点。

1) 大蒜
2) 糯米 (勿煮)
3) 盐

其他方式，由除魔高手处理。
以上三点为基。

西洋吸血鬼打退护身法例如：圣水，十字架，圣书，刺穿心脏，都无法打退中华僵尸 （下文省略成‘’中僵‘）。

中僵产生理由可多：例子如下

1) 过早埋葬
2）死法非自然
3）自杀
4）死后欲复生而在人间捣乱
5）棺材嗮月光
6) 不适合埋葬手续
7）暴力性死亡
8）死者生时持有执着
9）因埋葬日延期，走不下黄泉路
10）黑猫跳过棺材

人成中僵，有关人死后就魂无法脱尸。
结果，成为了半生半死的中僵。

只有焚化烧尸才能够让亡魂安息。
诺欲保管骨灰，要严管，要万分注意。

如果骨灰被夺走，黑魔术及亚述高手能够利用骨灰，让僵尸死而复生。

但如果骨灰被风吹散，死而复生可能性一切归零。

The Child's Eye (童眼)

Synopsis
Stranded in Thailand by the political uprising and airport closure, Rainie and her friends were unable to return home. Reluctantly, they decide to stay in an aged and shabby hotel. Among them is Rainie’s almost-breakup boyfriend, Lok, Ling and her brother, Rex, and Ciwi with her beloved boyfriend, Hei. The moment they check into the hotel, they come across three weird children and a puppy that seems slightly odd. As strange and sinister things start to happen, they begin disappearing one after another ...



Based on Asian believes and sayings, Dogs, Children and Females have a higher chance then Humans, grown up adults and Males to see ghosts.

Typically in most Asian horror films, ghosts are usually children or woman. This is very much unlike western movies in many cases.

For this Movie, it touches on Females , Children and Puppy.

One of the Countries in Asia popular and very well known for horror related movies and real life happenings , would be Thailand. Hence this movie will be base on Thailand.

根据亚洲国家说法和信念，狗，儿童和女性见鬼的可能性比人类，长大了成人和男性看到鬼的可能性高的多。
一般来说，在大多数亚洲恐怖电影，鬼通常是儿童或女子。这是在许多情况下很不像西方电影了。
对于这部电影，它说讲的就是女生，儿童和小狗。
泰国是其中之一的亚洲国家以恐怖片和真实恐怖经验脱离不了关系。应此这个恐怖片， 童眼将在泰国



The Leading actress for this movie will be Rainie Yang and this is her frist time in such movies.

This Movie will be in 3D and many people in South East Asia are very excited about it

对于这部电影的女主角杨丞琳，这是她第一次在些类事电影。

这部电影将会是部3D! 许多东南亚人都感到非常兴奋



The three of them ( Oxide Pang ,Rainie Yang and Elanne Kwong)  recently visited the 67th Venice Film Festival in Italy, where they screened The Child’s Eye 3D for the first time. I, for one have always wanted to see a 3D horror film, it seems like it would be very exciting, and even more intense. A release date has yet to be confirmed, but it is rumored to come out on October 14th.

Although it sounds very typical, I am still very interested in seeing it. Basically it is about a group of friends that are stranded in Thailand. They end up staying at a shabby hotel that is…dun, dun, dun…haunted! There are mysterious kids and a unusually dog that they come across, and things start to go wrong. People begin disappearing and it is up to Rainie to uncover the truth of it all.

Probably to many, it is expected that this movie will be a good hit in Asia.

Based on Asian Sayings ,
Man are of Yang element and Woman are of Yin element !
Humans are Yang element and Ghosts etc... are of Yin Element !

Since both ghosts etc.. and woman are of Yin, woman hence have a higher chance of being able to see ghosts. futher more females have very thin and small eyebrows , typically which increases the chance of being able to see ghosts. Man on the other hand typically have broad , thick and big eye brows which makes it less of a chance to see ghosts and to some point of extend frighten ghosts.  To make things worst, females have mensuration whereseles man don't. Woman are at their weakest during this point and it even further increases their chance to see ghosts.

Dogs and Cats always have been said to have abilities to see ghosts. In this movie it perfectly fits the bill with this saying.

Lastly children especially the just born as they are innocent, pure, simple and new to this world , they have a very high chance to be able to see ghosts.

especially the just born until somewhere before they are able to talk, they are thought to new to this world from their previous lives as they have been reincarnated recently and many things have not been fully tunned yet.

but once they are able to talk and understand what is going on around them, they will gradually slowly lose this ability.

There are many places in the world which has a past history and which some may not be a good one. some chinese would bring a fengshui master along with them when buying , renting or staying in somewhere totally new.

especially for those place which murder, suisides etc... took place before it is very unadvicable to stay in such places.

If you were to stay in such places, things can just happen !
So the Next time when you rent or buy or stay any places new to you , do dig up some history of what has happen in the past if you do not want have "unexpected and uneccessay experiences. "

The Chinese Month of the Hungry Ghost Festival ( 7th Month) part 2

The Hungry Ghost Festival is a traditional festival that is taken quite seriously by Chinese all over the world particularly in Asia. Just like the many myths and superstitions surrounding Halloween, the Hungry Ghost Festival has its fair share of ceremonial rituals. But unlike Halloween, the festival lasts for the entire 7th month of the lunar calendar (30 days).

During this time (typically somewhere between August and September), it is believed that the Gates of Hell are open, freeing ghosts and spirits to roam our world, away from their sufferings in the underworld where they had been banished to. It is believed that these spirits will be hungry for comfort and food, while some may seek out revenge or settlement for unfinished business.

As such, Chinese people usually line up a whole month of activities ranging from offerings of food to entertainment to appease these hungry ghosts. Here are some of the things you might want to look out for on your next trip to Asia

DO & Don't During The Chinese Ghost Month (extreme version)

The below list are the Do & Don't of the Chinese Ghost month ! Some of which are already very extreme. Just Perhaps only, some of them are being practiced by certain people but to follow or not follow is really up to you.

Generally, the Don't are more than the DO(s). Not to worry it is just one month of their annual public holiday which is only 30 days out of 365days & it will be all over. Just remember one thing ! They are already around us, whether you believe it or not, like it or not!

Not all of them I know the reasons to it and some of them are pretty straight forward which I personally don't see a need to explain why. To the best of my knowledge are the reasons of some, in the following


1)  NO Party Time !

During this month, It is really a NO NO for Parties, Celebrations, Opening ceremonies, Weddings and Chalets. These spirits are bound to join in the fun with the humans at the sight of such since it is their public holiday and they really very much want to enjoy themselves to their fullest during this month.

2) Work Place, Owners of Property and houses

During this month seriously speaking,

• No Buying and Selling of houses & properties

• No Moving in or out of houses & properties

• No Renovations

• No first day of business

• Highly unadvisable to work OT ( Overtime)

3)   NO Sex & Romance !

These are very much Prohibited during this month. Such activities will lure them to join you, watch you or better still, satisfy you. Don't you forget, they were human once as well. They too have needs and desires, whatsoever as well......

• No Watching of Pornography & porn activities

• No Sex / Love Making session

• No Visiting of Red Light Districts

• No Masturbating

• No Dating & Romance activities

4)   NO Happy Hour

During this month , it is not good to stay up late! Go home early, sleep early and not late, and definitely no late night activities which is inclusive of disco, clubbing, pubs, KTV etc...... Most probably very self explanatory on all these points.


5)   Bad month for adventures and Fun

Do not do the following during this month

• Extreme Sports and activities

• Adventures and explorations

• Camping , Hiking , Trekking, Rock Climbing etc...

• Water sports and related activities

• entering of the jungles and forests

• entering of isolated and dark places

• entering of remote and deserted places

• visiting of haunted places

Some of the points does not need any explanations at all. Accidents are prone to happen and death may result. Some of the places in the above points are prone to where ghosts will be lurking around and you are endangering yourself when you go to such places.

Doing of extreme sports and activities , adventures and explorations have higher chances of serious injuries and death. Water ghosts will be looking replacements so as to redeem themselves a chance to be reincarnated. Water sports and activities will provide such chance for them.

6)  Try not to if you but can't then cannot be help also

During this month, the following are not very nice to have such events, encounters and experiences.

It is best not to have but if it really cannot be helped, then there is nothing that can be done.

•  Avoid Hospital & clinic if possible

• Bad time to give birth to babies but it is something cannot be helped

• Try not to have injuries during this month

• Try not to fall sick and and stay in the pink of health

• Try not to attend funerals if you can

7)  Toilet and Bathroom

There are several different types of ghosts. Among the various types, there are also lecherous, perverted, cheeky, peeping, & flirtatious ones too! One of the favorite places of such, will be the toilet and bathrooms. It applies for the 2 genders. If lucky, they will just only watch. But if some may not be as lucky and have experiences being disturbed by them when in such places.

Hence, keep the lights switched on when you in such places and try not take too long doing your urinating, shitting or bathing as there are bigger risks of experiences and encounters with them if you have the lights off or if you take long during in such places.

8)  Beware !

Very seriously speaking, Watch your tongue in your daily life during month cause you will not never know if you have offended them unknowingly with your words. Exercise good and strong self discipline and behaviors. Monitor your own actions and conducts properly! Ill conducts, behaviors etc..... might lead to the spirits teaching you how to behave !

Be very careful with your thoughts, daily as it has been often said that ghosts can read your mind. Do stay in groups when you are outside and try not to be alone by your own, yourself. It can be very dangerous. At the same time, never ever address them as ghost as they very seriously dislike being called by that word! Instead call them as GOOD BROTHERS ! They like to be addressed by this term. Finally, Avoid saying the word ghost and do not use this word frequently, it might really led them coming to you.

9) Never ! Don't ! NO !

It is really best not watch horror movies or shows as well as reading or telling of ghost and haunted stories. They might be attracted to have some fun with you. Do not frighten or scare humans and animals/insects as it will be a matter of time the real “thing” will come to scare and frighten out of fun!

Don't do the obvious like playing plate spirit or pen spirit etc.. and DO not visit graveyards and cemetery unless really necessary! I should believe that no elaborations is necessary for this 2 points. Next, DO NOT EVER reply if you were hear a very familiar voice which sounds like someone that you know of, calling when you unsure if there is really someone calling you.

Don't Pee or shit in dark places such as bushes or trees without saying excuse me and sorry to these GOOD Brothers ! ( it is in particularly for soldiers as many soldier have encounters when they fail to do so and resulted in deep shit !)

Finally , NEVER EVER sit on the first row of seats of the Getais ! Those are not meant for human to sit ! You are definitely inviting trouble for yourself if you ever do !

10 ) Offerings and Prayers

There are a few this to observe when doing your offering and prayers.

1. Offerings or prayers should be done outside your house or work place and NEVER EVER inside. It should also be facing outside as well.
2. Offerings on the Altar must NEVER EVER be taken for own consumptions

11)   Avoid !

Next, there can be many times in which animals and insects can just suddenly and mysteriously appear unexpectedly and unknowingly ! Avoid disturbing or killing them! Leave them alone! They will disappear and leave on their own. They could have been someone related to you in some way under a transformation of insects and animals. Even if they are not some one somehow or what related to you they might be the transformation of the other GOOD BROTHERS or that the GOOD BROTHERS has processed these creatures. Killing , harming or disturbing them has severe consequences.

Also, where your dress code is of concern, wear a mix of colours ! Avoid being completely and plainly in 1 type of colour from head toe in your clothes , accessories etc... of the following colours

• BLACK ( it attracts them and you have higher chance of being processed)
• White ( you can be easily mistaken for a ghost)
• Grey ( a very funeral colour)
• Sliver ( GETAI colour they might think you are their performer)
• Green ( A colour associated with Chinese hell)
• RED ! ( high chance of injury or death ! Ghosts seeking vengeance but are weak will make you their victim to make themselves powerful so as to seek revenge on someone they are seeking revenge on)

12)    DO !

Finally, it is on the DO(s) points. The following are some of them.
