Sunny Doll, formerly known as sweeping mother, was introduced to Japan from China. This is the first time that Japanese people who are related to magic, such as sweeping monk, have been used. Because people believe that only people with magic can sweep sunny days, and mom is bald now. Everyone must be wondering why the mother who sweeps the floor is called Niang, because in China, people call the mother who sweeps the floor Sunshine Girl. It is not clear when the mother was introduced to Japan, but it is certain that it was introduced a long time ago. In China, the girl who cleans on a sunny day wears green and red trousers and holds a broom in her left hand. What we see is a Japanese folk sunshine doll!

There is a legend in China that the war in the pre-Qin period was cruel, and the calculation of the meritorious military service was based on the number of the enemy's left ear or head. According to legend, in the Qin dynasty, once the battle was over, the army would tie the enemy's head with white cloth and hang it upside down on the battlefield with a rope. Later, because this form was too troublesome, it was simply made into the shape of today's sunshine dolls with small white puppets, and each sunshine doll represented a head. Slowly, this white cloth puppet was associated with sacrifice and became a symbol with sacrificial significance. As for the sunny dolls and rainy dolls that became popular in Japan later, it was only the result of the later development of this sacrificial feature.

It is said that Sunshine Baby comes from the folk custom in northwest China, and there are three kinds of sayings:

Stop raining: This is also the origin of the name of Sunshine Doll. Poetry: "Roll up your sleeves and hold a broom. When you hang it in the shade, you will wave. "

Reproductive worship: sunny doll is a kind of god's saying, which means to pray for his son Sun Yinsheng. This statement comes from China.

Body double: Japanese believe that sunshine dolls can take the place of people to bear disasters and diseases. There are songs:

Sunshine doll, sunshine doll, I hope it will be fine tomorrow. If so, I will give you a golden bell.

Sunshine doll, sunshine doll, I hope it will be fine tomorrow. If so, I'll give you good wine.
