Do you know the skeleton culture? Skeleton culture in Mexico

In different culture, when it comes to the skull, it deters most people. The skull means a symbol of death, terror, and evil too many people. It doesn't seem to be any good impression at all. But in some western countries, they don't think so. In Mexico, for example, they have a day of the dead. Let’s do the comparison. This festival is quite different from our Chinese ghost festival. In China, are you afraid to go out on the night of the ghost festival? Customers in Mexico, day of the dead is a day they spend with their loved ones, full of joy.

Why do Mexicans have the day of dead? Actually, the Mexicans are descendants of the Aztecs. Before 600 AD, the Aztecs observed a day of the dead in honor of their deceased relatives. In Aztec culture, death means a new stage of life, a new journey. "Death is the destination of life and the beginning of new life. Death shows the highest meaning of life, which is the opposite and supplement of life."

Mexicans remember loved ones on November 1st and 2nd each year. November 1st is the day when the death of children go home to visit relatives, and November 2nd is the day when the dead of adults go home to visit relatives. So let's celebrate the "home leave" once a year! People even go to the streets dressed as the "Katrina skull" to celebrate the holiday.

Flowers, music, candles, pumpkin lantern skeleton costumes...marigold spread across the street to pave a link between life and death. People singing in front of the cemetery, dancing and talking, just like a New Year. Don't you think death is so scary anymore, right?

Although the skeleton is a symbol of terror in cultural stations of other countries, in the eyes of Mexicans, the skeleton is a mascot, and the skeleton culture has been integrated into the life and art of Mexicans. Now more and more people can accept skull culture, not so afraid. Of course, this is also due to the artist's innovation, creating skeletons that are not so hideous but are lovely.
