The way to celebrate guy fawkes night

Britain named165438+1October 5th as "guy fawkes Night". Many local governments in Britain will organize grand fireworks displays, and people will light bonfires and throw the character model of the British traitor guy fawkes into the fire. On this night, an important content is to burn the "Guy" dummy. To be a dummy, first of all, the cuffs and corners of worn-out tops and trousers should be tied tightly and buckled, and then filled with straw to make a human figure. Then put the corners of trousers into boots and cuffs into gloves. Then find a strong paper bag of the right size, put straw as Guy's head, and then insert a thick wooden stick and connect it to him. Finally, put on an old hat and a "guy" mask, and you're done.

1996, the British bonfire association decided to replace guy with an unattractive portrait of a celebrity. The first unfortunate candidate was Princess Diana's bicycle coach Witt. You only need to listen to his nickname to know why he was chosen: the royal family "loves mice", and the media also rumored that he is the biological father of Prince Harry. Subsequently, the portraits of Saddam Hussein, former British Prime Minister Blair and Gordon Brown were all selected as "celebrity Guy" and burned.

On bonfire night, people will also prepare rich food, which is called "bonfire night recipe". The recipes include toffee, toffee apple, baked potato with skin and spiced hot wine.

The scope of celebration and the scale of fireworks vary from region to region. For example, the southeastern British city of Lewis is famous for its bonfire night celebrations, which attract thousands of people every year.
