Introduction to Thanksgiving holiday PPT content introduction:

1. History of Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day (Thanksgiving Day), a traditional Western holiday, is a holiday unique to the American people and a holiday for American families to get together. In the beginning, there was no fixed date for Thanksgiving, which was temporarily decided by each state in the United States. It was not until 1863, after American independence, that President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday.

In addition to the United States and Canada, there are countries in the world such as Egypt and Greece that have their own unique Thanksgivings. However, European countries such as the United Kingdom and France are insulated from Thanksgiving. Some scholars also advocate the establishment of a "Chinese Thanksgiving Day" to promote traditional culture.

In 1879, the Canadian Parliament declared November 6 to be Thanksgiving Day and a national holiday. In subsequent years, the date of Thanksgiving changed many times until January 31, 1957, when the Canadian Parliament declared the second Monday in October each year as Thanksgiving Day.

The origin of Thanksgiving can be traced back to the beginning of American history, originating from the early immigrants in Plymouth, Massachusetts. These immigrants were called Puritans when they were in the UK. Because they were dissatisfied with the incomplete religious reform of the Church of England, as well as the political suppression and religious persecution of them by the King of England and the Church of England, these Puritans broke away from the Church of England and went to the Netherlands. Later, he decided to move to the uninhabited land on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, hoping to live religiously and freely according to his own wishes.

In 1620, the famous "Mayflower" ship arrived in America, carrying 102 Puritans who could not endure the religious persecution in Britain. In the winter between 1620 and 1621, they met refugees and brought them daily necessities. They also sent people to teach them how to hunt, fish, and grow corn and pumpkins.

With the help of the Indians, the immigrants finally got a good harvest. On the day of celebrating the harvest, according to religious traditions and customs, the immigrants set a day to thank God, and decided to thank the Indians for their sincere help and invite them to celebrate the festival together.

2. Literary records and customs

On Thursday in late November 1621, the Pilgrims and 90 Indians brought by Massassoad gathered together to celebrate the first Thanksgiving in American history. They fired a cannon salute at dawn, lined up into a house used as a church, and devoutly expressed their gratitude to God. Then they lit a bonfire and held a grand banquet, making delicacies from the hunted turkeys to entertain the Indians.

Canadian Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October. Unlike the American tradition of remembering the Puritan ancestors who settled in the New World, Canadians mainly thank God for their successful harvest.

Thanksgiving in Canada is earlier than Thanksgiving in the United States. The simple fact is that Canada's harvest season is earlier than that in the United States because Canada is closer to the north. Canadian Thanksgiving is generally considered to be influenced by three traditional customs.

One is the influence from European tradition. Since the earliest harvest about 2,000 years ago, people have celebrated the harvest and thanked the rich nature for its kindness and good luck. When Europeans came to Canada, they also brought this tradition to Canada and had an impact on the later Canadian Thanksgiving tradition.

The second is the impact of British explorers celebrating their survival. Canada held its first official Thanksgiving 40 years before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts. In 1578, an English explorer named Martin Frobisher attempted to discover a passage to the east, but he failed.

The third influence came from the later United States. In the autumn of 1621, the British immigrants who traveled across the ocean to the New World of America held a three-day carnival to thank God for the harvest. From then on, this custom continued and gradually became popular all over the world.

In the beginning, there was no fixed date for Thanksgiving in the United States, which was decided temporarily by each state. It was not until 1863, after American independence, that President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday. In 1941, the U.S. Congress officially designated the fourth Thursday of November as "Thanksgiving". The Thanksgiving holiday generally lasts from Thursday to Sunday.

In terms of customs and habits, the Thanksgiving celebrations in the United States and Canada are basically the same. Food customs include: eating roast turkey, pumpkin pie, cranberry jam, sweet potatoes, and corn.

There are many similarities between Thanksgiving in the United States and Canada, such as cornucopia and pumpkin pie filled with flowers, fruits and grains to symbolize fertility.

The food on the Canadian Thanksgiving dinner table usually varies with region and time. Some are venison and waterfowl, some are wild ducks and wild geese, but currently they are mainly turkey and ham.

American Thanksgiving food is rich in traditional features. Turkey is the traditional main dish of Thanksgiving. The turkey belly is usually stuffed with various seasonings and mixed foods, and then roasted whole. The chicken skin is roasted into dark brown, and the host cuts it into thin slices with a knife. Everyone. Then each person pours the marinade and sprinkles with salt. It tastes very delicious.

In addition, traditional Thanksgiving foods include sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkin pie, cranberry jam, homemade bread and various vegetables and fruits.

There is also a corn game that is also very old. First, hide the Thanksgiving Pumpkin, Thanksgiving Pumpkin, and five corns in the house, and let everyone find them separately. The five people who find the corns participate in the competition, while the others watch.

At the beginning of the game, five people quickly peeled the corn kernels in a bowl. Whoever finished peeling the corn kernels first won the prize. Then people who did not participate in the competition gathered around the bowl and guessed how many corn kernels were inside. The one with the closest guess received the prize. A big bag of popcorn.
