What Is The Difference Between Halloween And China'S "Ghost Festival"?

The carnival was held in five hundred BC, when people living in Ireland and Scotland believed that the ghost of the dead would return to the place where they lived before October 31st, and seek the life of the living to get the chance of regeneration.

Local residents are worried about ghosts to seize their lives, so when October 31st comes, they will extinguish all lights, making ghosts unable to find the living, and dress up as ghosts and ghosts to frighten the spirits away.

With the passage of time, the meaning of Halloween has gradually become festive.

Americans who like to play the role of creativity, on this day, do their best to dress themselves up like ghosts and ghosts, making the ghost festival more interesting.
