The eve of Halloween on October 31st is the busiest time of this festival. In Chinese, Halloween is often mistranslated as All Saints' Day. To celebrate the coming of Halloween, children will dress up as various cute ghosts and knock on doors from house to house, asking for candy, otherwise they will play tricks. At the same time, it is said that on this night, various ghosts will dress up as children and mingle with the crowd to celebrate the arrival of Halloween, and humans dress up as various ghosts in order to make the ghosts more harmonious. Halloween is often associated with the supernatural. Halloween is traditionally considered in Europe to be the time when the ghost world is closest to the human world. This legend is similar to the Zhongyuan Festival and Yulan Festival in East Asia. Anoka, Minnesota, USA, is known as the "Halloween Capital of the World" and holds a large parade every year to celebrate. What is the origin of Halloween?Halloween originated in Europe and originated from Christianity. It is said that more than two thousand years ago, Christianity designated November 1 as a festival for all saints in the world. Later, this festival gradually evolved into the European New Year, but it was only limited to English-speaking areas. In Ireland, people believe that Halloween is the first day of the new year. At this time, the souls of the dead will come to the places where they used to live to look for the living, and entrust their souls to the living beings in order to achieve the purpose of rebirth.For the living, the biggest worry on this day is of course that their souls will be taken away, so people will extinguish all the fires in their homes and dress themselves up as ghosts so that the dead will mistakenly think that they are the same kind, so that their souls will not be taken away. This festival was originally solemn, but now it has become very joyful. Young people especially love to celebrate this day. They will dress themselves up differently and then gather on the streets to party. Children would also dress up as clowns and carry pumpkin lanterns to ask for candy from house to house. |
