Every year 1 1 month 1 day is Halloween in the west. 1October 3 1 day is Halloween. It is usually called Halloween (Halloween). Whenever Halloween comes, children can't wait to put on colorful makeup clothes, put on strange masks, carry a "Jack-o-lantern" and run around the house, asking adults for holiday gifts. These are the most well-known symbols of Halloween-the strange "Jack-o'-lantern" and the trick of trick or treat. The appearance of "Jack-o-lantern" is very cute and the method is extremely simple. Hollow out the pumpkin, then carve smiling eyes and a big mouth on the outside, then insert a candle in the pumpkin and light it, so that people can see this naive smiling face from a far distance. This is the children's favorite plaything. However, the highlight of Halloween is still on the dining table. You should not only prepare delicious food to entertain those "kids" who come to make trouble, but also dress up your dining table on this special festival. Don't let your guests underestimate you! This night is the most "haunted" time of the year, and all kinds of monsters, pirates, alien visitors and witches are out in succession. Before the Christian era, the Celts held a ceremony in late summer to thank God and the sun for their kindness. At that time, diviners lit and practiced witchcraft to drive away monsters who were said to be wandering around. Later, the harvest festival celebrated by the Romans with nuts and apples merged with the Celtic1October 3 1 day. In the Middle Ages, people wore animal-shaped costumes and terrible masks to drive away ghosts in the dark on Halloween. Although Christianity later replaced Celtic and Roman religious activities, the early customs remained. Nowadays, children wear all kinds of costumes and masks to participate in Halloween dances. Witches, black cats, ghosts and bones with paper paste are often hung on the walls around these dances, while grinning or ugly pumpkin lanterns are hung at the window and door. [Edit this paragraph] The origin of Halloween The first method There are many versions of the legend about the origin of Halloween. It is generally believed that it originated from ancient western European countries before the birth of Christ, mainly including Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The ancient western Europeans in these places are called druitt people. Druitt's New Year is on November 1st, New Year's Eve. People in druitt make young people gather in groups, wear all kinds of weird masks and carry carved radish lanterns (pumpkin lanterns are a late custom, and there were no pumpkins in ancient western Europe), and they wander among villages. At that time, it was actually a celebration of autumn harvest; It is also said to be "Ghost Festival". It is said that the souls of those who died in that year will visit the world on the eve of Halloween. It is said that people should let the visiting ghosts see a good harvest and show rich hospitality to them. All bonfires and lights, in order to scare away ghosts, also illuminate the route for ghosts and guide them to return. In medieval Central Europe, there was a history of Christianity destroying pagans. However, the sacrificial ceremony before New Year's Eve has never really been eliminated, but it has appeared in the form of witchcraft. This is why we still have traces of witches' brooms, black cats, spells and so on in Halloween. Second, more than two thousand years ago, the Catholic Church in Europe designated November 1st as "ALL HALLOWS DAY". "HALLOW" means saint. Legend has it that since 500 BC, CELTS living in Ireland, Scotland and other places moved this festival forward by one day, that is,1October 3 1 day. They think that this day is the day when summer officially ends, that is, the beginning of the new year and the beginning of the harsh winter. At that time, people believed that on this day, the dead soul of the deceased would return to the former residence to look for living beings, so as to be reborn, and this was the only hope for people to be reborn after death. The living are afraid of the dead soul to seize life, so people put out the fire and candlelight on this day, so that the dead soul can't find the living, and dress up as monsters to scare away the souls of the dead. After that, they will rekindle the candlelight and start a new year's life. Legend has it that the Celtic tribes still had the custom of killing the living on1October 3 1 day to pay homage to the dead. By the 1 century, the Romans who occupied the territory of Celtic tribes gradually accepted the custom of Halloween, but since then the barbaric practice of burning the living to sacrifice the dead has been abolished. Roman festivals celebrating harvest were combined with Celtic rituals, wearing terrible masks and dressing up as animals or ghosts in order to drive away demons wandering around them. This is why most people around the world celebrate Halloween with strange costumes today. As time goes by, the meaning of Halloween has gradually changed, and it has become active and happy, and the festive meaning has become the mainstream. The idea that the dead sought body double's reincarnation was gradually abandoned and forgotten. Today, most images and pictures symbolizing Halloween, such as witches and black cats, have friendly, lovely and funny faces. The third Celtic believed that the sun god helped them grow crops. However, every year, the sun god is attacked by an evil force named Samhain and imprisoned for six months. Samhain, also known as "Lord of Dead" and "Prince of Darkness", came to Celtic land with cold and dark winter. The Celts were very afraid of the night of1October 3 1 Sunday, because they felt that there were a bunch of evil souls lurking anywhere that night. They make a fire at home to let those evil spirits leave their home (there is a sentence in the last untranslated paragraph that flames can scare away ghosts). They believe that Samhain called the dead out, and they also believe that Samhain will turn the dead into something else, like a cat. The Celts will put on a terrible disguise to drive away those evil souls. (This is the prototype of Halloween.) After Rome occupied the land of the Celts, Roman festivals were combined with the Samhain Festival of the Celts1October 3 1 day, which became the present Halloween. [Edit this paragraph] Halloween Eve means "Holy Night". However, due to various reasons, Halloween has become one of the most popular and popular festivals in a year, and many players celebrate this festival with great enthusiasm. Halloween is on1October 3 1 day, which is actually a festival to praise autumn, just as May Day is a festival to praise spring. Druid, a priest in ancient Gaul, Britain and Ireland, had a grand festival to praise autumn, which started at midnight on 1 October 3 1 day and lasted for a whole day the next day1/month1day. They think that on that night, their great god of death, Saman, called all the ghosts of those who died that year, and these evil spirits would be punished for being born as animals. Of course, as long as the thought of such a ghostly party was enough to make those simple-minded fools at that time tremble with fear and trust. So they lit a bonfire and watched these evil spirits closely. That's how the saying that there are witches and ghosts everywhere on Halloween began. Up to now, some people in some isolated areas of Europe still believe this is true. The ancient Romans also had a festival on 1 1 month 1 day, which was used to pay tribute to their goddess Pomona. They baked nuts and apples in front of Xiong Jin's bonfire. Our own Halloween seems to be a mixture of ancient Roman festivals and Druid festivals. The activities on Halloween turned out to be very simple, and most of them were held in the church. But all over Europe, people regard Halloween as a good opportunity to have fun, tell ghost stories and scare each other. So people no longer use this festival to praise Qiu Guang, but make it a festival for genies, witches and ghosts. [Edit this paragraph] Halloween custom1October 3 1 Sunday is the eve of Western Halloween. There are wonderful live performances, illusion magic staged on the stage, lifelike walkers and ghosts, and various horror movies on the streets of the United States. In the evening, I quickly put the spider silk up and help the actors who are responsible for scaring people put on makeup. The contents of haunted houses are mostly related to movie themes, such as: legends of ghosts and gods, interstellar legends, ghost stories … The layout, makeup techniques and costumes of these scenes are like real situations, which will definitely make people scream if they are not careful. The origin of this carnival is that in 500 BC, people living in Ireland, Scotland and other places believed that the dead people would return to their living places on1October 3 1 day, and look for life in the living to get a chance to regenerate. Local residents are worried that ghosts will take their own lives, so when1October 3 1 day comes, all the lights will be turned off, making it impossible for ghosts to find the living and dressing up as monsters to scare away ghosts. With the passage of time, the meaning of Halloween has gradually become festive. Therefore, the monsters and pictures symbolizing Halloween have become lovely and quaint, such as pumpkin monsters and witches. Americans who love to be creative do their best to dress up like ghosts on this day, making Halloween much more interesting. [Edit this paragraph] Children's favorite holiday Halloween is a good time for children to indulge in fun. In the eyes of children, it is a festival full of mystery. As night falls, the children can't wait to put on colorful makeup clothes, put on strange masks, put on a "jack lamp" and run out to play. The "Jack-o 'lantern" looks very cute. The way to do it is to hollow out the pumpkin, carve smiling eyes and a big mouth on the outside, then put a candle in the pumpkin and light it, so that people can see this naive smiling face in a far distance. After packing up, groups of children dressed as monsters ran to the neighbor's door with "Jack-o-lanterns" in their hands, threatening to shout "trick or treat" and "money or food". If adults don't treat them with candy or change, those naughty children will do what they say: OK, if you don't treat them, I'll play a trick on you. Sometimes they soap other people's doorknobs and sometimes color other people's cats. These little pranks often make adults laugh and cry. Of course, most families are very happy to entertain these naive little guests. Therefore, on Halloween, children always have full stomachs and pockets. The most popular game on Halloween is "biting apples". In the game, people let the apples float in a basin filled with water, and then let the children bite the apples with their mouths without using their hands. Whoever bites first will be the winner. Trick or treat (trick or treat)-Trick or treat Halloween is an interesting content, but this custom did not originate in Ireland, but began in the Christian church in Europe in the ninth century. At that time, 1 1 2nd of the month was called "ALL SOULS DAY" by Christians. On this day, believers trudged in the backcountry, begging from village to village for "bread of the soul" made of flour and raisins. It is said that people who donate cakes believe in the prayers of the church monks, hoping to get God's protection and let the dead relatives enter heaven as soon as possible. This tradition of begging from house to house has evolved into a game in which children carry pumpkin lanterns from house to house to beg for candy. When they meet, children dressed as ghosts and elves invariably threaten to make trouble (trick or treat), but the host naturally dares not neglect and says, "Please eat! Please eat! " At the same time, put the candy into the big pockets that children carry with them. There is also a custom, that is, every family should put a lot of pumpkin lanterns in each mouth. If you don't treat people (don't give sugar), the children will trample on one of his pumpkin lanterns. [Edit this paragraph] Carve a pumpkin as a mask and carve a pumpkin as a lantern. This is from ancient Ireland. The story is about a man named JACK, who is drunk and loves practical jokes. One day, JACK tricked the devil into climbing a tree, and then carved a cross on the stump, threatening the devil to make him afraid to come down. Then JACK made a pact with the devil to let him get down from the tree on the condition that the devil promised to cast a spell so that JACK would never commit a crime. After JACK's death, his soul can neither go to heaven nor go to hell, so his ghost had to wander between heaven and earth by a small candle. In the ancient Irish legend, this little candle was placed in a hollowed-out radish and was called "JACK LANTERNS", while the ancient radish lamp evolved to today, and it was made of pumpkin-o-Lanterns. It is said that soon after Irish people arrived in America, they found that pumpkins were superior to radishes in terms of source and carving, so pumpkins became Halloween pets. [Edit this paragraph] The word Halloween came into being. Many ethnic groups have celebration parties on Halloween, so this day is also called "All Hallow E'en", "The Eve of All Hallows", "Hallows e 'en" or "The eve of All Saintas'Day". In the end, the convention evolved into "Halloween", and the Chinese translation became Halloween night. In western countries, every year on1October 3 1 day, there is a "Halloween", which is interpreted as "The eve of All Saints'Day" in the dictionary and translated as "Halloween night" in Chinese. Halloween is a traditional festival in western countries. This night is the most "haunted" night of the year, so it is also called "Ghost Festival". There are many versions of the legend about the origin of Halloween. The most common one is that it originated from ancient western European countries before the birth of Christ, mainly including Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
