When Halloween is mentioned, people think of pumpkins, which originated from druitt people in ancient western Europe. New Year's custom in druitt is very peculiar. On the first day of November every year, that is, New Year's Eve, young people gather together, 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). In western legend, the soul of the dead will visit the world on Halloween, and carrying radish lanterns is to scare away ghosts, but also to illuminate the route for ghosts and guide them to return, so pumpkins have become the standard for Halloween.
Later, people found that pumpkin was better than kohlrabi in source and carving, and its shape was more beautiful than kohlrabi, and it was close to the shape of face, so pumpkin lantern gradually replaced kohlrabi as the new favorite of Halloween.
More and more festivals are beginning to appear in our lives, especially Valentine's Day, which has been sought after by many young people. Halloween is also popular in real life in such an atmosphere. Halloween is often favored by younger children, because in the "traditional custom" of Halloween in the west, it is necessary to eat candy, bring pumpkin heads and play ghosts on this day. Eating candy is children's favorite, pumpkin heads are children's toys, and playing ghosts is more interesting for children.
When 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 practical joke of "performing magic or giving candy".
Pumpkins are orange, so orange has become a traditional Halloween color. In addition, there must be a pumpkin meal on Halloween. Pumpkin pie is a traditional home-cooked snack from late autumn to early winter in the southern United States. It is usually eaten, but it becomes a special food around Halloween. In addition, dried pumpkin seeds have become Halloween food.
