More than 2,000 years ago, November 1 was designated as All Hallows' Day. It is believed that the souls of the deceased will return to their homes on this day to find the living in the living and regenerate themselves. The living, on the other hand, are afraid of the spirits of the dead to take their lives, so people dress themselves up as demons and ghosts on this day to scare away the spirits of the dead. Start the new year with this.
