Why do we make pumpkin lanterns for Halloween?

The reason why people make pumpkin lanterns for Halloween comes from an Irish legend:
Legend has it that there was a man in Ireland named Stingy Jack. He was not only stingy, but also insidious and cunning. He was always cheating and deceiving people everywhere, and had a particularly bad reputation in the village.
One day, Jack invited the devil to drink. As he had no money to pay the bill after drinking, he persuaded the devil to turn into sixpence to pay for the drinks. However, Jack did not use it to pay. Instead, he used a piece of silver paper to suppress the devil so that it could not come out.
Later, the devil promised Jack not to scare him for a whole year, and Jack let the devil out. The devil appeared again on Halloween the following year and promised not to bother Jack for a year. However, Jack died before the year was over. After his death, heaven would not accept him because he was very stingy, and hell would not keep him either because he teased the devil. With nowhere to go, he finally had to keep walking, carrying a white turnip (white turnip in Ireland, kohlrabi in Scotland, beetroot in Scotland, and pumpkin in the United States) with charcoal given by the devil inside to light the road, looking for a place to rest.
