How to change the "Ghost Festival" in July 14 in Hainan?

Have a meaningful Ghost Festival: Lanpen/Zhongyuan/July and a Half Moon Ghost Festival program. On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, Taoism calls it the Mid-Yuan Festival, Buddhism calls it the Orchid Festival, and folk customs call it the Ghost Festival (commonly known as July and a half). The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the belief in the dead and ancestor worship. "Everything is based on heaven and people are based on ancestors", and worshipping heaven and ancestors became two major tasks in ancient religious life. For ordinary people, ancestors are closely related to themselves and have the same feelings, so ancestor worship is particularly meaningful. Mid-Autumn Festival is developed on the basis of ancient Mid-Autumn Festival customs. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism flourished, and the story of "Mulian Saving Mother" was widely circulated, and finally evolved into Yulan Society. Taoism also has the theory of "three officials and three elements". May 15, July 15, and 10/5 are respectively designated as the birthdays of the celestial officials, the local officials and the local officials, and become the gods to bless the people and the local officials. As a result, the Mid-Autumn Festival has become the same festival for monks, Taoists and mediocrities. This festival is also related to Confucianism. Confucianism emphasizes filial piety, and when parents are alive, children should be obedient; When your parents die, you should also "pay homage to them", just like when your parents were alive. Therefore, Confucianism advocates that in addition to ancestor worship in spring and autumn, ancestor worship can also be held on the Mid-Yuan Festival. In this way, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the confluence of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. In the concept of the ancients in China, there is not absolute opposition between heaven and earth, and there are people and many other animals and plants between heaven and earth. So there should be some ghosts who have not found a home for various reasons.
