月令廣義。二十四卷。明萬曆三十年。馮應京纂
南國風俗中元夜。家戶各具羹飯齌。供羅於門外或垌衢之處。祝祀傷亡野鬼。畢隨捧水燈三十六。向流水泛去。名曰孤謂無祀亡鬼。三十六類燈帋燈也。
During the hungry ghost festival month, which is the seventh month of the year, apart from leaving food and rice bowl on the side of the street to feed the hungry ghost, some people will float seasonal lanterns for blessings to those ghosts.
