Japan Also Has Dragon Boat Festival.
Japan
The people also had the custom of Dragon Boat Festival, but the situation is a little different from that of China.
Japanese
The Dragon Boat Festival
The Nara era, which began more than 1000 years ago, was not limited to May 5th.
In Japanese, the word "noon" and the number "Five" of the Dragon Boat Festival are the same pronunciation, so in a period of time, in Japan, the Dragon Boat Festival also refers to the number 5 of the month, until later gradually evolved into the May 5th of the Gregorian calendar.
In addition, the day of May 5th is also known as "boy's Day" in Japan.
After the Edo era, every boy's family has to hang on the Dragon Boat Festival.
Carp
"Put on" armor "and" helmet "to pray for children, but also have the hope of achieving success.
"Carp flag" means carp jumping dragon gate.
The carp flag is a hollow carp made of cloth or silk. It is divided into three colors: black, red and blue. The black represents the father, the red represents the mother, the blue represents the boy, and the blue and blue flag represents the number of boys in the family.
The colorful carp flag flying in the blue sky is a major feature of the Dragon Boat Festival in Japan.
The Japanese believe that the carp is a symbol of strength and courage, expressing the desire of parents to expect their children to become brave and strong warriors.
In this way, with the changing times, the Dragon Boat Festival has evolved into a celebration of the birth of boys and pray for the healthy growth of boys.
Like China, Japan has the tradition of eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival.
The Japanese zongzi was introduced from China in the era of peace after the Nara era. At that time, zongzi appeared only in the imperial palace as a supply, and was later popularized in Japan.
There are many varieties of zongzi in Japan, such as the grass, bamboo leaves, Artemisia leaf and so on.
Therefore, in Japanese, it is also called "zongzi".
This year's Japanese Dragon Boat Festival has passed, but on the day of the festival is still very lively. Every family will eat rice dumplings and pancake cakes, and drink calamus wine.
In Japanese, "Acorus calamus" and "martial arts" are homophonic, which may be one of the reasons why Dragon Boat Festival evolved into boy's day.
