Extended data:
Westerners always put jack-o-lanterns at home or in the yard on Halloween. But the Irish didn't make pumpkin lanterns at first, but put a small candle in the hollowed-out radish to make radish lanterns. It is said that soon after the Irish arrived in the United States, they found that pumpkins were better than radishes in terms of source and sculpture, so pumpkins became the new favorite of Halloween.
