Significance of Halloween

Halloween gives people a lot of freedom to express their creativity and imagination. During this holiday, people can dress up in their favorite role-playing costumes and transform into any character they like, be it a superhero, a demon, an animal or a cartoon character. This expression of freedom and creativity not only allows people to enjoy their imagination, but also stimulates their artistic talent and creativity. At the same time, this free expression also emphasizes the tolerance and acceptance of society, where anyone has the right to choose and create a unique image for themselves.

Halloween carries cultural symbols of remembrance and homage to the ancestors. In ancient Celtic tradition, Halloween was a time for them to honor their departed loved ones and heroes. They believed that on this day, the spirits of the dead would return and join their loved ones. As a result, people would prepare food and gifts for their departed loved ones and hold ceremonies at their graves.
