We shouldn’t abandon the virtues publicized from the festivals: filial piety in Hungry Ghost Festival and happiness in HalloweenConclusion Halloween and Hungry Ghost Festival are linked with ghosts. Halloween is related to many evils and spirits, and Hungry Ghost Festival to many ghosts and gods. They originate in different religions, and spread different superstitious thoughts in some western countries and China. Through the two festivals, we can see superstitions vary immensely throughout the world, and their propagation depends on local folklore, legends, and circumstances. These superstitious thoughts always affect people’s life. At the same time, the superstitious senses even offense against social order and the fundamental benefits of the state. Some people blindly seek after the superstitions so that they die for them. Some people scatter superstitious thoughts at all places, and seduce other people believing the superstitions. In addition, the superstitions are very dangerous to them. At present, the superstitions have had influence on them, and caused serious problems in the society.

Western countries and China all should resolve the problem, so the world will be more cordial and harmonious.
