Origin of Halloween: 500 years ago, Celts living in Ireland took 1 October 3 1 day as the last day of each year. 1 1 month1day was the beginning of the new year, which also symbolized the coming of winter. On this new year's eve, the Celts believed that Samhain, the god of death, would return to earth with an invisible soul and be reborn after searching for body double. Therefore, they lit torches and burned animals as a gift to the god of death, and the priests in the clan would also preside over the ceremony. In order to drive away ghosts in the dark, Celts will dress up as ghosts with animal heads or fur, and make terrible noises in their mouths. This is the origin of Halloween masquerade in Europe and America. After that night, the ghost returned to the underworld and everything was calm. Later, the Celts' Festival of Sacrifice merged with the harvest festival celebrated by the Romans with nuts and apples. Although the religious activities in Celtic and Rome were later replaced by Christianity, the early customs remained. By the middle of the19th century, Halloween was introduced to the United States by Irish immigrants, and it has spread to this day. How will we celebrate: in the United States, most families will decorate their homes specially for the festival, and some will buy pumpkins with grimaces, scarecrows as tall as real people or tombstones filled with humorous words in the front yard, and decorate the windows with small pumpkin lanterns or hang skeleton bones; Some people also hang fake cobwebs or bats on the front door, and put their outstretched green strange hands in the mailbox ..... Various arrangements bring the ghost atmosphere of Halloween to every corner. Halloween decorations are mostly black and orange. Black represents black cats, spiders and witches, while orange represents Jack-O'-Lantern made of pumpkins, etc., all of which are common Halloween symbols. Every year, businessmen will put fashion figures, including masks and costumes, on the market, in order to attract more people to participate in the craze of this traditional festival. For example, the movie "Harry Potter" has become a necessary role for many children. General supermarkets or cake shops also offer festive cookies and cakes on Halloween, and boxes of orange pumpkin-shaped cookies are one of the most common festive snacks in Halloween parties. "Trick or treat! Trick or Treat is a favorite thing for foreign children on Halloween. They love scary masks, carry a pumpkin lantern and ask for candy from door to door. Adults will also prepare some candy and change, waiting for groups of children to knock at the door. If someone doesn't treat them with candy, those naughty children will stick around or say something ominous, so people who don't go out will prepare candy and let the children leave happily. In addition, children also like to play bobbing for apples at parties. Participants must try to bite apples floating on the water with their mouths. In addition, in recent years, China, Hongkong and Chinese mainland have also begun to celebrate Halloween. China and Hong Kong's two major theme parks, Ocean Park and Disneyland, have launched large-scale celebrations such as "Hello in Ocean Park in October" and "Disney Weird Festival" respectively during Halloween, making the Halloween atmosphere in Hong Kong even stronger!

Image reference: fushantang/1001/att1kloc-0/8 Halloween10/day, which is a western Halloween, commonly known as Ghost Festival. Halloween originated in the United States. It is said that on October 31st every year, the ghost gate is opened, and monsters in hell go to places where people live to harass them. But if you put a devil-shaped ornament in front of your home, the devil will be regarded as his own kind and will not harass the family. These legends also made some naughty children dress up as demons and pat their friends' doors that night, which was scary, but this move was well known and became the trend from then on, turning the originally horrible Halloween into a happy Halloween. 1963, the Hilton Hotel, which operated in Hong Kong in the American style, first introduced Halloween, but it was not popular. Later, due to the annual holding of several hotels, the picture reference for celebrating Halloween in recent years: fushantang/1001/att/0018a gradually fell, and the participants were not very devoted. They not only wore masks, but also dressed up all over, trying to make them look scary, which was extremely scary. In Lan Kwai Fong, Central, it was crowded and very lively that night. The origin of Halloween is said to be that an Irishman named Jack, who was very stingy with money, was not allowed to enter heaven after his death, but was sent to hell. But there he always played tricks on the devil Satan, so he was kicked out of hell and punished to walk in the world with lanterns forever. On the evening of October 31st, Irish children made Jack's Lantern with potatoes and carrots. They dug out the middle, made holes in the surface and lit candles inside. This kind of lantern was named Jack with lanterns or Jack's Lantern. In order to celebrate the Halloween of Tuid God in the village, children carry this lantern and beg for food from house to house. Children will make Halloween decorations: all kinds of orange pumpkin lanterns. Businessmen also manufacture and sell all kinds of festive props, lighting and masks. You can make a terrible shape with black paper-a witch riding on a broom handle and wearing a pointed hat flying across the sky, or a black bat flying over the moon. These all represent bad luck. Of course, a black cat means worse luck. Sometimes there will be a black cat riding behind a witch broom and flying into the sky.
