Japanese holiday customs?

May 5th is Japanese Boys' Day every year. People will hang carp flags to welcome boys' day and expect children to grow up healthily. In order to protect the health and happiness of boys at home, every household in Japan will make colorful carp-shaped ribbons out of paper or cloth, and then string these ribbons on bamboo poles, tie them to golden wind carts and hang them on the roof.

This is because the Japanese think carp is the most energetic and energetic, and hope that all the boys at home will be like carp, so this day is also called "carp day".

2. Adult Festival

The Japanese Adult Festival originated from the ancient adult ceremony in China. Ancient Japanese adult etiquette was influenced by China's "coronation ceremony". The so-called "crown ceremony" refers to a crown ceremony held by adult men. From the day of coronation, the crown was recognized as an adult by the society. Following the old etiquette system in China, the Japanese began to implement the crown system in the 11th year of Tianwu (AD 683).

According to China's ancient theory of Yin and Yang, Jiazi and Bingyin auspicious days were chosen as the crown days, especially the first month.
