Follow the editor to Shuimoxiansheng.com to learn more about the ninth month of the lunar calendar.Why do we do tricks on Halloween?The night before Halloween, also known as All Saints' Eve, is a tradition among children of playing tricks or treating.Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic New Year festival. It is also a time to worship the dead. While avoiding interference from evil spirits, people also offer food to their ancestors and good spirits in order to pray for a safe winter. That is why people dress up as evil spirits and go from house to house begging for food. Generous people will be blessed, while stingy people will be threatened. That’s why on Halloween, children dress up as ghosts, go to people’s houses that have turned on lights to collect candies, and shout “Trick or treat”. There are also claims that this custom did not originate from the Celtic people, but began in the European Christian Church in the 9th century AD. At that time, November 2nd was called "ALL SOUL'S DAY" by Christians. On this day, believers trek through remote countryside, begging for "soul cakes" made of flour and raisins from village to village. It is said that those who donate cakes believe in the prayers of the church monks and hope to receive God's protection and allow their deceased relatives to enter heaven as soon as possible. This tradition of begging from door to door has been passed down to the present day and has evolved into a game in which children carry pumpkin lanterns and go from door to door asking for candy. If the children get candy, they will say thank you and leave, but if the other party does not give candy, the children can play pranks on the family. However, the families who get candy will light up the lights at the door, so trick-or-treating rarely happens. What can you eat on Halloween?1. CandyOn Halloween night, children will dress up as ghosts and ask for candy on the streets, so candy can be said to be the most popular food on Halloween. Because of Halloween regulations that children cannot be given homemade food, every Halloween, major candy brands will launch candies with a Halloween atmosphere, such as various ghost-shaped candies, or printing various representative Halloween pictures on the candy packaging. 2. Pumpkin Pie There is a custom of making pumpkin lanterns on Halloween. Although the pumpkins used to make pumpkin lanterns are not suitable for eating, people still like to make pumpkin-flavored foods on Halloween, among which pumpkin pie is the most popular. Pumpkin pie is a festive food for Halloween in the United States, and is also a traditional home-cooked dessert in the southern United States from late autumn to early winter. In addition, dried pumpkin seeds are also often used as Halloween food. 3. Hot Apple Cider Hot apple cider is a popular Halloween cocktail. It is made by heating apple cider and then adding cinnamon, cloves and sugar. However, when this kind of drink is heated, the alcohol has almost evaporated, so even minors can drink some of it. This drink is very popular in Europe and the United States in winter. At Christmas, cider is replaced with red wine, and it can be called Christmas-flavored mulled wine. 4. Toffee Apple During Halloween, apples are in season, so there are many apple-related seasonal foods, and toffee apples are one of them. The method of making toffee apples is very simple. Just insert a bamboo skewer into the apple, and then use the skewer to rotate the apple in the toffee syrup (sometimes some nuts will be stuck on it). Toffee apples are a popular Halloween food from long ago, but accidents can easily happen, so you must be extra careful when making them. Do you want to know your own Bazi?
