What is Carnival?
:
There are three theories about the origin of Carnival. Under the "operation" of the Chinese people, the concept of this Western style has become a bit generalized: many activities have been given the word Carnival, what global carnival, car carnival, real estate carnival, cell phone carnival ......". The original meaning of the concept of "carnival" is not being paid attention to and pursued.
In fact, the generalized use of the concept of "Carnival" by the people of China is the essence of the spirit of Carnival - people singing and dancing, holding all kinds of carnivals, equality, proximity, and who no longer care about each other's real identity, but only the pursuit of All they care about is the happiness of the moment. This is the spirit of carnival.
Rather than saying that the country has misused the word "carnival," I would rather say that in the word "carnival," we have found an urge to revel in joy. ......
"Carnival" is a term that has been misused by many people. p>
The word "Carnival" is short for Carnival, which is called Carnival in English, and there are three ways to describe its origin:
The first is that Carnival is a three-day spring festival for the Greeks. The first is that the Carnival was a three-day spring festival for the Greeks.
In the seventh century B.C., the ancient Greeks worshiped Dionysus, the god of wine (also the god of wine, the god of revelry and the god of art), the "Great Wine Festival". At the festival, Dionysus was worshipped and "hymns to the god of wine" were sung. People are also chosen to dress up as Dionysus, the god of wine, and ride into the town center in a lively parade on a boat-shaped float. This is said to have been the beginnings of Carnival.
Later, the Romans ruled ancient Greece, and ancient Greek festivals spread across Europe around the first century A.D. as Roman power expanded. The difference was that the main character at the Great Wine Festival was no longer Dionysus but the ancient Romans' own god of wine, revelry and debauchery, Bacchus.
The second theory is that Carnival originated in ancient Babylon in the fourth century AD.
The Babylonian astrological journals are said to have recorded that every year, from February 5th to 16th, it was the time when the old and the new would be reborn and everything would be reborn. The Babylonians, with their strict observances, could completely subvert everything. During this time, there was great social disorder and people reveled in the chaos ......
The third theory, the most widely circulated, says that the Carnival was a great annual festival in Catholic society.
Practicing Catholics celebrate Lent every year, and before Lent begins, a festival is usually held for as little as three days or as long as a week. For this reason, Carnival is also known as Mardi Gras.
Lent is a period of 40 days, from Ash Wednesday to the day before Easter. During this time, the faithful must abstain from meat and drink only bread and water as a way of remembering the suffering of Jesus Christ and atoning for their own sins.
It's interesting that the feast of Lent, which is meant to be a time of remembrance and atonement for the sins of Jesus Christ, has become a grand carnival for Catholics to reward themselves. They were to have a good time, eat and drink before Lent, because afterward sweetness was forbidden until Easter. It is said that the word Carnival comes from the Italian word Carnevale, which is derived from the Latin caro (meat) + levare (to remove), which means: "Meat! Goodbye", or "reduce the amount of meat".
The German historian Olsner once explained the origins of Carnival in Germany, and perhaps we can see the origin of Carnival in it. He said: "In the times when the Romans ruled this region (today's Germany), there were festivals dedicated to the god of wine. People lit torches to celebrate the end of winter. It wasn't until Christianity came to the region that the original festivals were combined with fasting, with revelry celebrated on the eve of the start of the fast. In addition, the custom of banishing the harsh winter and ghosts at this time of year was common throughout the Germanic cultural circle."

■Masks
There is no greater feature of Carnival than the wearing of a variety of masks for the revelry. It is said that people in ancient times believed that wearing these strange masks had the function of praying for good luck and could ward off evil spirits as well as prevent crops and livestock from being victimized.
The role of masks has been greatly reduced or even disappeared in the Carnival of later times. People wear masks, in addition to following the traditional customs, more to experience a kind of forgetting the identity of the joy under the mask. In the carnival, one may disguise oneself as an animal or a person of current affairs, and the identity of "I" is no longer important and can even be forgotten.
■Sex code
At carnivals, people can let go of the moral weight of the past and return to the joy of being human. Now, it is said that there are folklorists who have examined the sexual legacy in carnivals, claiming that the carnival itself is a cultural symbol of human sexual exuberance.
The Lenten season is said to require people not only to abstain from meat but also to abstain from sex, so people not only feasted before abstaining from meat but also tried to have sex before abstaining from sex. Therefore, Carnival itself has a sexual flavor. Of course, this point is due to the different conditions of each country, the degree of performance also varies from place to place. In Brazil, during this year's Carnival, the government made a point of handing out 10 million condoms for free. Brazil's health minister acknowledged that "the high level of contact during Carnival, and the fact that many people are scantily clad, can easily lead to frequent sexual activity."
Some scholars have even argued that the emergence of the sexual liberation movement in the West was a liberation of the code of human nature hidden in Carnival, which was translated into manifestos, parades, bikinis, national laws, pornographic magazines, writings of professors and so on, making it an epiphany that made its way, ostentatiously, into the level of human sanity.
■Equality in Carnival
The spiritual essence of Carnival is one of equality in carnival, an expression of the desire to be close to others.
Some scholars believe that the custom has such a strong vitality until today because "Carnival fulfills some of the people's inner yearning and has become an indispensable part of social life. On the one hand, people longed for their homeland, and on the other hand, they were happy to have the opportunity to make fun of the upper classes. Singing, dancing, and kissing together at a carnival, without distinction, satisfies the longing to be close to others, and people also long for the opportunity to be uninhibited, to release themselves completely, and to pass themselves off as someone else altogether."

Each year at Mardi Gras, floats parade through the central German cities of Cologne, Mainz and Rottweil, where revelers paint their faces in a thousand faces to take part in the parade, and throw sweets from their cars into the crowds in a spectacular spectacle. Beer bottles were thrown everywhere, people chanted loudly as if no one was watching, and a "pissing wall" was set up for men who needed to "let off steam" after drinking too much beer.
It is said that in the early days, only men were allowed to participate in the carnival, but as the status of women rose, the carnival became the "8th of March" festival for German women.
