Japanese vocabulary "season" (3) Seven days a week

Series sharing:

The Japanese word "season" ① has four seasons all year round.

Japanese vocabulary "season" ② Twenty-four solar terms

Would you be surprised if I told my friends that the first day of the week is actually Sunday, not Monday? But that's the truth!

Seeing Japanese vocabulary, parents will probably understand why Monday can only be counted as the second day. In Japanese, write "Japanese Obsidian Day" and? The day of the month. Because the moon depends on the light of the sun, Monday, which symbolizes the moon, can only retreat to Sunday, which symbolizes the sun.

Obviously, this is my serious nonsense. There are also many controversies about the origin of Japan's "Seven Obsidian Calendars". Interested friends can ask Baidu Encyclopedia by themselves, so I won't go into details here.

But you can mention an interesting knowledge point by the way. It is said that China has a very old astrological system called "Seven Houses and Four Surplus". The ancients in China called the sun, the moon and the five planets "seven obsidians", namely, today obsidian (sun), moon obsidian (lunar moon), Jin Yao (old star), water obsidian (morning star), fire obsidian (twinkling star) and earth obsidian (complementary star/town star).
