But did you ever know that the original origin of this beautiful Chinese name is related to a Bible story more than two thousand years ago? The bible? In the New Testament, there is a story about the devil testing Jesus. It is said that the devil trapped Jesus in the wilderness and didn't give him anything to eat for 40 days. Although Jesus was hungry, he didn't accept the temptation of the devil.
Later, in order to commemorate Jesus' fasting in the wilderness for these 40 days, believers regard the 40 days before Easter every year as a day of fasting and repentance, which is called Lent or Lent. It is said that the Goddess Festival in ancient Greece and Rome and bacchanalia are its predecessors.
During these 40 days, people can't eat meat and have fun, so life is solemn and dreary, so people will hold banquets, dances and feasts one or a half weeks before Lent begins. Later, this day gradually evolved into a religious festival, which was called "carnevale" in Latin, meaning "Farewell to Meat".
Carnevale is translated into carnival in English. Now, not many people adhere to the rules and regulations such as Lent, but the traditional carnival activities have been preserved and become an important festival for people.
In 1970s, Professor Lu Gusun from the Foreign Languages Department of Fudan University first heard the name "Carnival" in Hongkong.

Soon after, this beautiful translation was also introduced to the mainland and became a familiar term.

Carnival is an important Catholic and Orthodox festival that lasts for several weeks to several months. After dressing up, the believers marched to celebrate, which was a bit of a street party atmosphere. Protestantism generally does not celebrate this festival. The details of the activity (such as time) vary from country to country. The main celebrations are concentrated in February and March, but usually end before the first day of Lent (Lent)-the first day of Lent (Ash Wednesday).
Except Christmas, all Catholic festivals are based on Easter. Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere (or the autumnal equinox in the southern hemisphere) every year, and 46 days are the ash Wednesday of the carnival.

No one cares about each other's true identity anymore, but only pursues happiness and beauty at that moment. This is the spirit of carnival. Tracing back to carnival: the mysterious and long-standing word "carnival" is the abbreviation of carnival and is called carnival in English.

Carnival is a free translation of carnival by Hong Kong people, which has been localized in Hong Kong culture and formed a "carnival".
The original translation name of English Carnival is "Carnival", and the pronunciation of carnival is difficult to express properly in Chinese, so the free translation of "carnival" is more intuitive and easy to understand. Later, the carnival spread to Hong Kong, and Hong Kong people translated it into "Carnival". This translation is a masterpiece of intellectuals who are familiar with foreign languages and Chinese, and it has the beauty of pun with both sound and meaning. Unfortunately, it can't exactly express the carnival meaning of the carnival. "Carnival" sounds elegant and literary, which is inconsistent with the warm and wild atmosphere of the carnival. This is also the case. The carnival held in Hong Kong for a long time has become more gentle, which is very different from the carnival in Brazil.
