When China and the West meet on Ghost Festival, why do they only know Halloween and don't know Cold Clothes Festival?

Cold clothing festival is a ghost, Halloween is a human.

Halloween has become very popular in recent years, from children's eating to adults' buying in buy buy, all because of "Halloween". Yesterday, I saw a sister who immigrated to Europe in a circle of friends making pumpkin heads for her children. It is said that a primary school will hold Halloween activities, and she even dressed up her children overnight, and all her hats and socks were dyed in colorful colors. In fact, she was like this last year. Children will say "trick or treat", which is very cute.

Our Cold Clothes Festival is a ghost festival, not a "season". We eat green balls or something, and elders often say that the cold clothes festival means that the weather is cold, so we should burn some clothes to warm our deceased relatives. Yes, we grew up listening to legends and historical stories, while foreigners grew up listening to fairy tales and science fiction, so our festivals are also myths and legends "feudal superstitions", and foreign countries are more lively and unconstrained. In fact, it is a holiday to confiscate whoever is good or bad. People who burn clothes for old friends are pinning their thoughts, and people who dress strangely are living happily without conflict.

China is conservative, while foreign countries are open, as can be seen from the publicity of festivals. Foreigners buy Halloween from China, because the annual carnival refers to "Double Eleven" and "Halloween" abroad, and children like fresh clothes even if they are greedy. And our Cold Food Festival is obviously one of the three ghost festivals. Everything seems too much except drawing a circle with white powder, burning paper on the ground and crying, let alone wearing weird clothes ... right ~

Therefore, I say that the Cold Clothes Festival is a ghost festival, which adds "wealth" to old friends and relieves boredom to "distressed" relatives. Halloween is a festival for adults to buy and children to eat in buy buy.
