This is also Halloween. Why is there no Halloween celebration in Mid-Autumn Festival?

Halloween is a mixture of fear and mischief. It is generally joyful to drive away evil spirits with children's innocence.

China people worship their ancestors, and ghosts and gods can't be mocked. Although the ritual of offering sacrifices is constantly simplified, it is still "offering sacrifices to the gods", as if the ancestors are in front of us and need a solemn gesture.

Although there are many traditional festivals in China, it seems that only the festivals of ethnic minorities present carnival excitement. Under the influence of Central Plains culture, festivals are more about eating and reunion than offering sacrifices. Even if it is as big as the Spring Festival, the excitement lies in the large number of people, but it is peaceful and not as open as western and national festivals.

Some people want to make traditional festivals lively, but they lack material carriers, such as Qixi, and some people regard it as Valentine's Day. But in the west, you can send roses and chocolates on Valentine's Day. What can I send on Tanabata? Halloween can have pumpkins as the protagonist. What else is there besides fragrant paper in Mid-Autumn Festival? People in China can only give out red envelopes during the Spring Festival. Festival features are never outstanding, which is both a culture and a feature.

July 12 to 14 of the lunar calendar is the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, Ghost Festival. In order to remember their dead ancestors and relatives, they burned ghost clothes and mingbi to show their comfort and let them enjoy the filial piety of future generations in the underworld.

Because of me, China is a vast country with a large population and a multi-ethnic country. The custom of Mid-Autumn Festival is different in different parts of this country. For Halloween, it is a holiday in western capitalist countries. Whether it is good or not has nothing to do with us in China. For traitors who worship foreign things and flatter foreign countries, it is certainly not good for our festivals in China.

As descendants of the Chinese nation, we should proceed from reality, be an upright China person, educate them to love the motherland, respect the lessons of our ancestors and have a good holiday.
