Japan has a week-long Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and there is a custom of dancing, but why do you have to wear bathrobes?

In the era of Antu Taoshan, it was popular in Japan to wear "Tang Wei Zi" clothing which can absorb skin moisture after bathing. In the Edo era, it became a kind of clothing that civilians liked and evolved into today's bathrobe. Its Japanese name: Bathrobe is the abbreviation of "Tang Wei Zi".

Bathrobe can also be read as "よくぃ", but it has a different meaning and refers to clothes worn when taking a bath. Many Japanese people wear bathrobes in summer, and generally attend more folk festivals, such as Kogasawara Festival, and also wear bathrobes.

Bathrobe, as a traditional Japanese summer dress, reflects the coolness of summer as far as possible in color and fancy collocation. Blue background, purple background and white background are the most common, with lovely patterns such as goldfish, fireworks and butterflies.

Orchid Festival was introduced into Japan from China in Sui and Tang Dynasties. July 13 to 16 in the city, August 13 to 16 in the countryside. 13 to visit the grave, 13 to pick up the ghost of ancestors, 16 to send. In Japan, Orchid Festival is also called "Soul Festival", "Lantern Festival" and "Buddhist All Souls Meeting". At first, it was a day to worship ancestors and pray for blessings, but now it is a festival for family reunion and happy villages.

Every time the Kasahara Festival, Japanese enterprises have a holiday for 7- 15 days, and people rush back to their hometown for reunion. During the festival, every family set up a soul niche, lit a soul fire and sent it to pay homage to their ancestors. Generally, the ancestors' souls are welcomed around August of Gregorian calendar 13, and they live with the living for 4 days. /kloc-in August of 0/6, the ancestors' souls were sent back to the underworld by means of soul fire.

The "big character burning" in Kyoto is the peak of this activity. Another farewell form is the orchid dance. On summer nights, men, women and children dance with drums in bathrobes, which has become a famous sightseeing activity in Japan.
