Daily Proverb - A duck in July doesn't know it's going to die.
A duck in mid-July doesn't know it's going to die. Mid-July refers to the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, which is the 'Zhongyuan Pudu' (Ghost Festival), a day for Taiwanese folk beliefs to offer sacrifices to wandering ghosts. In folk beliefs, chicken is an offering for deities, while only ducks can be used for ghosts, hence this saying. It describes someone who lacks awareness of impending danger and doesn't know they are facing doom.

The religious sacrificial logic behind this proverb accurately outlines humanity's attitude when facing the unknown. A lack of awareness of potential dangers often leads people to fall into difficult situations without realizing it, a lesson that remains highly applicable in any era.
