Ke Baicheng pointed out that Halloween this year falls on Saturday, and pumpkins, skeletons and other decorations have been seen on the streets. Children are preparing to dress up to receive candy and adults are also busy planning parties. The celebratory mood is strong, but perhaps we should stop and think about the cultural contradiction. Compared to the Ghost Festival, many people are cautious and avoid many things in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, but they are partying in the Ghost Festival of foreigners.
Halloween originates from the ancient Irish festival of Samhain. It is a holy day of changing seasons, remembering the dead and praying for the safety of the family. However, due to commercial packaging, it has become a national cross-dressing carnival. Do we, who have just celebrated the Bhoot Mahotsav, accept all this and eagerly assume the form of bloody ghosts?
He further said that he prays for good fortune and peace in daily life, and deliberately causes gloom and bloodshed during festivals. However, from the perspective of traditional folk customs, words, actions, clothing, and environment all have symbolic meaning. Therefore, if you want to have fun with your children, you can also achieve the effect by choosing cute styles or characters. There is no need to blindly follow Western culture and look like the hero of a horror movie.
The key to celebrating the festival is “knowledge” and “appropriateness”. “Trick-or-treating” is just a holiday joke. Parents should take the opportunity to teach their children basic manners and say thank you when receiving candy. Don’t bother them by making noise if they’re not ready, and don’t think it’s funny to scare people. Activities should have rules, expenses should be measured, done within one’s capacity, stopped when necessary and should not endanger the safety of others.
Ko Beicheng said that festivals can be lively, but you must also know how to exercise restraint. You should pay attention to safety hazards and beware of bloody lessons. Don’t forget the serious stampede tragedy that occurred in Itaewon, South Korea on Halloween in 2022. When participating in activities, be sure to look for emergency exits first. When you see a crowd of people, don’t blindly drown in it. Taking sweets and taking pictures is not worth risking your life.
