What does Halloween have to do with pumpkins?

Pumpkin head; A Halloween legend has it that a jack-o-lantern hanging in a window on Halloween night means that people dressed in Halloween pumpkin costumes can knock on doors and ask for candy. When it comes to Halloween, people will think of pumpkins, which originated from the Druids of ancient Western Europe. The New Year custom of Druid is very strange. On November 1 every year, that is, New Year's Eve, young people will gather together, wearing a variety of strange masks, carrying a carved turnip lamp (pumpkin lamp is a later custom, ancient Western Europe did not have the earliest pumpkin), walking in villages. In western legends, the soul of the dead will visit the world on Halloween eve, and the turnip lamp, not only to scare away the ghost, but also for the ghost to illuminate the route, guide its return, so the pumpkin has become a standard Halloween.

Later, it was found that pumpkins were better than kohlrabi in terms of origin and carving, and the shape was more beautiful than kohlrabi, and close to the shape of the face, so the pumpkin gradually replaced kohlrabi as a new favorite for Halloween. More and more festivals begin to appear in our life, especially valentine's Day, which is pursued by many young people. Halloween is also in such an atmosphere, popular in real life. Halloween is often more favored by younger children, because in the Western Halloween "traditional customs", in this day is to eat candy, pumpkin head, dressed up as ghosts, candy is children's favorite, pumpkin head is children's toys, dressed up as ghosts for children, is more interesting things.
