Da Xia Winter Festival Day.
This is a traditional festival in Da Xia, signaling the arrival of winter.
And in folklore, this day is especially significant as the gates of the Underworld are wide open, and it is the ghost festival where lost spirits and wandering ghosts roam the human world!
"Ha ha... Finally, we can go out and play for a night."
Chen Xiaoxia was walking with her best friend, Wu Lei.
They were both middle school students. Middle school in Da Xia had a heavy workload with few holidays and nightly self-study.
However, there were concessions on some traditionally recognized festivals.
For example, on Da Xia Winter Festival Day, although it was not an official public holiday, the school would announce that there was no need to attend the evening self-study.
This was considered a slight compromise to traditional customs and also gave the students a break.
Most students didn't believe in this, and many took the opportunity to openly go out and have fun.
