A complete collection of Japanese festivals, the annual festivals in Japan.

In the endless time, people set up nodes, and these days are called festivals. Festivals are folk cultures created by people to meet the needs of production and life. Holidays are always a happy thing. There are 365 days in a year, and many festivals are interspersed among them, which makes the whole year seem less compact and busy. So, do you know what festivals there are in Japan in a year? Let's take a look at this traditional festival.

New Year: 65438+1 October1

Celebrating the arrival of a new day is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China. Generally, we have three days off, shops and public facilities are closed, and people go back to their hometown for the New Year. Traditional families will also hang the Japanese flag to celebrate. Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan used the old calendar (that is, the lunar calendar in China), so it also used the old calendar to celebrate the New Year. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan began to use the western calendar, and the habit of celebrating the old calendar and the New Year gradually disappeared. But so far, Okinawa still maintains the custom of the old calendar and the New Year.

Adult Day: 5438+/kloc-the second Monday in October.

Celebrate the Japanese youth's 20th birthday. On that day, various celebrations were held all over Japan to celebrate these pillars of Japan's future nationwide.

The Japanese Adult Festival originated from the ancient adult ceremony and was influenced by China's "crown ceremony". The so-called "coronation ceremony" refers to a coronation ceremony held by men in adulthood. From the day of coronation, the coronation was recognized as an adult by the society. China's old ritual system was imitated by Japan, and the coronation system began in the 11th year of Tianwu (AD 683). According to China's ancient theory of Yin and Yang, Jiazi and Bingyin are the most auspicious days of Guanri, especially the first month. However, its form and content are very different from modern adult festival, with a strong superstitious color.

National Day: February 1 1.

Emperor Jimmu, the first Japanese emperor in ancient times, founded Japan in Yamato (now Nara Prefecture). This day was designated as the anniversary of the founding of Japan, and celebrations were held all over the country. On the same day, the Japanese emperor will take the queen and members of the royal family to the podium of the palace to pay tribute to the people.

To celebrate the origin of Japan, the Meiji era and the first day of Emperor Jimmu's accession to the throne are regarded as the beginning of the Japanese era (that is, the first day of history). As Epoch Day in Japan, this day is called Epoch Festival. On the day of the Era Festival, in addition to the "Era Festival Festival" held by all the great gods in Japan, ordinary people will also hold the "Founding of the People's Republic of China Festival".
