Why can Japanese "_ Festival" suddenly become popular in China?

Japan is a country that preserves traditional culture very much. In fact, one of them includes the "sacrificial ceremony". Generally speaking, the purpose of "sacrifice" is to express gratitude to gods or ancestors, pray and kill souls. There are many festivals in Japan because almost every shrine has its own festival. Most festivals are held once a year to celebrate gods or seasonal or historical events. Some festivals last for several days. One of the highlights of Japanese festivals is the parade, where the gods of local shrines (Shinto gods) are held in Mikoshi. The gods leave the shrine at this time of year and are taken to all parts of the town.

In Japan, "sacrificial ceremonies" are held every month in various places, and the contents of the ceremonies are also different. It is a kind of belief for local people, but for tourists, they can enjoy the most traditional Japanese culture. On many "festivals", there will be many "houses" (outdoor stalls), some selling food, some fishing for small goldfish and so on. Young ladies who join in the fun usually wear traditional Japanese clothing "bathrobe" (a kimono).

Moreover, there are many kinds of sacrifices in Japan. The history of these festivals ranges from hundreds to thousands of years. I have to say that the Japanese have done a good job in the preservation and inheritance of traditional culture. While eating, drinking and having fun, it also shows tourists the most traditional and proud side of the area.

This makes people sigh: even if Japan introduces culture from other countries, even if it is slowly lost in its own country, it can be transformed into its own things. It's amazing!
