Question 1: What meaning does Carnival express or contain? Carnival expresses people's love for life, happiness, peace and freedom.

Question 2: Other meanings of carnival Carnival is an important term in literary theory and cultural studies, mainly derived from Bakhtin's "Carnivalized Poetics Theory". Bakhtin proposed the theory of carnival poetics while studying the works of Dostoevsky and Renaissance writers such as Rabelais and Cervantes. "Folk Culture of the Renaissance" is represented. "Carnival" here means "subversion" and "fusion". Carnival mainly targets the mental state of the group. In folk literature, the boundaries between audience and actors are blurred, and the sublimation of individual status creates a group carnival situation. As pointed out in the polyphony theory derived from carnival poetics, the characters lose their protagonist color, and each individual becomes an independent and distinct subject. The individual's behavior is not controlled by the group, or even influenced by the author's own thoughts. Take control and express your personality independently. In this situation where everyone shows their individuality independently, the group exhibits a multi-vocal effect, achieving a group carnival situation. Subverting the hierarchical system is an important phenomenon in folk culture. Bakhtin found in his research on carnival that "Carnival has become a symbol and embodiment of a true public square festival that is completely independent of church and state." In carnival rituals, hierarchy and authority The concept disappears. "Those laws, prohibitions and restrictions that determine the rules and order of ordinary and non-carnival life are abolished for a period of time during the carnival. The first thing to be abolished is the hierarchy and the various forms related to it." Fear, respect, admiration, politeness, etc., that is, all phenomena caused by people's unequal social status, etc., no longer exist; the functional guru carnival is a special category, That is, casual and intimate contact between people. "Here hierarchy and social etiquette give way to individual freedom, and the indulgence of personal behavior and thoughts leads to a group carnival situation, which is manifested in chaotic language, illogicality, and confusion. Secular and vulgar, crazy and selfless in behavior, free and indulgent in thought. In essence, carnival embodies the most primitive view of human existence. "Carnival style is a great world feeling shared by all people for thousands of years. This world feeling enables people to relieve their emptiness and brings the world closer to human beings." , and also brings people closer to each other (everything is involved in free and intimate communication), so as to deeply understand the essence of life..." It can be seen that carnival focuses on a kind of behavior and ideological state of the group. This kind of The ideological state of the group comes from a kind of liberation of individual thoughts. After achieving the liberation of group thoughts, individuals can appreciate the essential meaning of human beings and the individual carnival experience under the group carnival in this liberation of the group. From a research perspective, the ultimate goal of carnival is the group’s spiritual release state.

Question 8: What are the famous carnivals in the world, and an introduction to the Brazilian Carnival

The Brazilian Carnival is called The world's largest carnival, known as "The Greatest Show on Earth". It is held for three days in mid or late February every year. At the Brazilian Carnival, everyone does not want to express themselves, but wants to help others. Some men wish they had feminine characteristics; while some usually introverted women do a wild dance. "Transvestites" often appear at carnivals. Among Brazilian carnivals, the Rio de Janeiro Carnival is the most famous and fascinating event in the world. According to legend, the Rio de Janeiro Carnival began in the mid-19th century. Initially, the scale of the carnival was small, limited to some indoor masquerade balls held by nobles. In 1852, a band directed by the Portuguese Azevedo took to the streets. With the lively music, men, women and children all jumped up, and the whole city burst into joy. This action was a huge success and became a milestone in the history of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival, marking the Carnival becoming a popular festival.

The Rio de Janeiro Carnival did not have a fixed venue at the beginning. All the main streets in the city were stages for samba performances. In 1983, the famous Brazilian engineer Oscar Niemeyer designed it himself, and 60,000 builders worked together to build a samba dance venue that can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators in just 117 days. Since then, the Rio de Janeiro Carnival has had a fixed venue.
