Japanese summer festivals
The Bonihara Festival is a grand event in Japan, second only to New Year's Day. It was originally a French-style Buddhism. Eyeworm basin is a transliteration of "Ullabana", which means "upside down suffering" and is a French way to save this kind of suffering. According to the interpretation of the Lanjing, it is said that in order to save the mother trapped in the Hungry Ghost Road, according to Buddhist teachings, on July 15 (lunar calendar), various foods were offered as offerings to save the mother.
This activity was popular in India and China a long time ago, and it began during the Japanese Asuka period. It was later widely circulated. Every family has set up a shrine for the soul, igniting the fire of welcoming the soul and sending it to the fire of the soul, which has become a unique activity in Japan to pay homage to the ancestors. Now it's about August of Gregorian calendar 13, and I will welcome my ancestors' souls, live with the living for 4 days, and send my ancestors' souls back to the underworld by means of soul fire in June of 16. The "big character burning" in Kyoto is the peak of this activity.
In Japan, many people leave their hometown to work in other places, so they use this time to go back to their hometown for reunion. It can be said that this is a gathering of ancestors and living people, which is not too much. Judging from the customs in China, Tomb-Sweeping Day and the Spring Festival seem to be spent together. Because all the people in the city went to the countryside, it was called "national luck", and then big cities such as Tokyo seemed very deserted for a while.
An indispensable part of the Bonihara Festival is Bonihara Dance. This was originally a way to express the joy of people who left hell, but now it has become a folk dance with local characteristics. On a summer night, with the drums, the whole village dances in a big circle, which is a landscape painting that can be seen all over Japan at this time.
