佛教的角度，七月乃源自“目连救母”之故事，主要是要为往生者“超度”
In Buddhism, It is the month of chanting as to release ancestor’s soul, the Buddhism usually will have the respected monks to do the ceremony as to relief the soul of ancestor（超眷，超冤情债主）
结下安居，也是佛教对中元节的起源之一
From Buddhism, "Buddha & monks" have completed his Practice (not to go out often in the period from 4 month - 6 month as not to kill ants & bugs ), 7th month is time complete their good practice in mountain / temples..
目犍救母的故事，很多人都知道，那其实也是佛教对“中元节盂兰盆会”的观念
Buddhism, have never mentioned the entire 7th month is ghost month but to chanting for the ancestor
最早的道教中，主要是拜地宫大帝，但后来在台湾开始拜“大士爷”其实也是观音菩萨之化身，主要是为了让“亡魂”可以早日超生。
This is the "Dashi Ye" that Taoist pray during this period, it origin from Taiwan but not Traditonal China..
拜大士爷，是后期道教演变出来的，现在都非常普遍。
盂蘭盆会愿意并不是拜“好兄弟”，但是慢慢演变至今，就变了样，真的拜久就有！
孔夫子在儒家学说里，非常注重孝道，所以七月十五乃“秋天收成”之时，必须要拜祭祖先
In Confucianism, 15th of 7th month in Lunar calender is the month of Harvest, therefore it's important to pray & offering to the Ancestor but not the month of Ghost.
不管如何，但七月的车祸是绝对比平时多的。
No matter what, 7th month is usually more accidents comparing to others mont
在七月住进“山庄”的人也比平常多以些～
There are also more people migrated to Cementery during this period
七月变成要穿少少，唱歌台？那我们也不太清楚其中的意义。
Why this month must have such Sexy show ??? no one can understand, I guess the objective is to collect more money for next year "ceremony"... personally I don't really appreciate this activity.
其实，无论是道家、佛家，还是儒家都从来都没有说过七月是鬼节，需要拜“好兄弟”保佑平安，但又为何会演变至此呢？
佛家：
...佛家以农历七月十五為“結夏安居”結束日，佛教徒會在此日供奉三寶，而僧團們亦會在法會上誦經為佛教徒們的先祖積取功德。佛教徒會在每年的農歷七月中舉行超渡法會，仿效目連救母的故事為自己的先人積取功德，祈求先人能遠離六道輪回并得以解脫。
道家：拜祭三元大帝
道家正月十五稱為“上元”，舉行賜福的儀式，为感謝天宮大帝賜福的天宮誕。七月十五稱為“中元”，祭祀地官大帝、舉行中元法事以減輕亡魂的罪 孽，并希望亡魂能早日安息。十月十五稱為“下元”，祭祀水官大帝并為有過失的人解除厄運。
儒家：秋收祭祖
儒家思想注重人必須遵守倫綱，定要做到長幼有序不得僭越。儒家提倡“秋收”即是七月十五收成的時候﹐要祭拜與感恩我們的祖先讓我們能夠五穀豐收，慎終追遠的節日。
不管是佛家、道家、儒家都没有提起七月为鬼节，那为何是鬼节呢？
鬼节真的有鬼？这都是大家的“愿力”所形成的力量啊。
中元節本應是懷戀祖先，崇尚孝道并意義深遠的日子，怎么后來會演變成鬼門大開的“鬼節”呢？其實，這與華人特有的“憐憫”心有關。
人们在中元节时超渡先灵与拜祭地官大帝的當兒本著“老吾老以及人之老”之心也“順便”為一些无主孤魂舉辦祭祀活動以慰藉他們并祈求平安。漸漸地中元節便成为祭拜与超渡亡魂的“鬼节”。
七月鬼多？其实不止是七月才有鬼，只因为七月大家拜的多，所以“他们”更为活跃一些。。。
至于为何会演变成现今的七月歌台秀，表演者越来越风骚、越穿越清凉，则不得而知了～
Lunar Calendar 7 month is the month of Ghost? Is this true? Let’s see what Buddhism, Taoism & Confucianism says :
Buddhism:
It is the month of chanting as to release ancestor’s soul, the Buddhism usually will have the respected monks to do the ceremony as to relief the soul of ancestor（超眷，超冤情债主）, at the same times also for all the souls
Taoism:
7th month they pray to the God of Earth, hope to release pitiful souls, in Traditional Taoist never mentioned that the entire month is full of ghost moving around.
Confucianism:
Confucian is emphasizing very much in filial piety, respect of the elderly and ancestor. The 7th month of Lunar calendar is the month of harvest in China, therefore it’s important to pray and offering to ancestors.
Buddhism, Taoism & Confucianism have never mentioned that this month is the month of ghost, and never said that everyone must pray to the ghost with food in order to have good luck, but why most of the Taoist Chinese doing so??
Infact, the origin of this prayer is to have offering to the ancestor from Confucianism and Prayer to Earth god in Taoism. But with the kind heart, the Chinese also provide offering to others pitiful souls, this is how all this “believed” started.
As for why Hungry Ghost month must have “Sexy Singing Show”? (歌台）That is still a question that I still Puzzle..
