When I was a child, my mother always warned me not to pick up the a envelope on the road. One day, my brother forgot my mother's warning. He picked up a red envelope in the street. My mother scolded him, because he needs to marry a ghost. That night, my mother punished him, and he could not have the dinner.

For "early dead girls,” "Ghost marriage" is a special kind of "marriage ceremony." In ancient times, when an unmarried girl was dead, her parents would put her personal information and some paper money into a red envelope. They threw the red envelope on the road. The dead girl's brother will wait. When he saw a man picked up the red envelope, he would immediately considered the man to be "his sister’s husband." The man needs to marry the dead girl. Otherwise, he would have bad luck.

According to legend, people do not worship an unmarried, dead woman. Because she didn't have husband and son. Thus, the parents of the dead woman will look for a man to marry her. After the ghost got married, the dead woman will have a social status, and someone will worship her.
