Japanese Kasahara Festival custom: men, women and children dance together?

In Japanese festivals, the Dream Orchid Bull Running Festival is on July 15th of the lunar calendar (July 14th in some places). In the folk, it is called Zhongyuan Festival and Ghost Festival. It is a day to worship ancestors and ghosts. Traditional festivals and customs vary from country to country, so what are the customs of the Menglan Bull Run Festival in Japan? Let's take a look with Bian Xiao.

Japan's Bonin Festival custom Bonin Festival was introduced to Japan from China in the Sui and Tang Dynasties during the Asuka period, commonly known as "Bonin" (pronounced O-bon, abbreviated as Bonin Society). 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. There is also the habit of giving gifts in RMB. People will gather together to dance a dance called "Penyong" according to folk customs. This dance is mainly hand movements, similar to today's Parapara.

The Japanese attach great importance to the Bonihara Festival, which has now become an important festival after New Year's Day. Enterprises and companies usually have a week's rest, which is called "Kogasawara Rest". Many Japanese who go out to work are choosing to use this holiday to return to China to worship their ancestors. At this time, the streets of metropolises (such as Tokyo and Osaka) are mostly deserted, somewhat similar to Tomb-Sweeping Day in China.

Japan's Kasahara Festival, that is, the 15th day of the seventh lunar month (July 14th in some places), is called Zhongyuan Festival, Ghost Festival or July 30th and Gumu Festival, which is a day to worship ancestors and ghosts. In China, Liang Wudi, who was famous for believing in Buddhism in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, was the first person to hold the Orchid Club. Later, bonsai was still popular, but it gradually changed from being a monk to a ghost, with the aim of crossing over the undead.

After the Song Dynasty, the three religions gradually merged, and Buddhism and Taoism reached a tacit understanding on this issue. In fact, the orchid flowerpot is a transliteration of Sanskrit "ullambana", which originally meant "saving the upside down". According to the Buddhist scriptures, the suffering of the deceased is like an upside down, which should be rescued as soon as possible. Because Chinese is used in Chinese Buddhist scriptures, it is also explained that "Magnolia" is an inverted sentence and "basin" is a container for food. Although this statement does not conform to the Sanskrit situation, it is still widely circulated in the Buddhist circles in China.

Festival introduction: The 15th day of the seventh lunar month is called "Bonihara Festival" and "Bonihara Festival", also known as "Zhongyuan Festival" (in a sense, Bonihara Festival belongs to Taoism and Bonihara Festival belongs to Buddhism). In some places, it is commonly called "Ghost Festival" and "Stone Drum", also known as the Day of the Dead and July and a half. "Ghost Festival", commonly known as "July 30th" (in some areas, especially in southern China, it is said that Mongols invaded a place at the end of the Song Dynasty, and residents celebrated the festival one day in advance to escape). It is said that the dead ancestors were released by Yan for half a month at the beginning of July, so there is a custom of receiving their ancestors at the beginning of July and seeing them off at the end of July.

According to Buddhists, on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, Buddhists held a "bonsai ceremony" to offer sacrifices to the Buddha and monks to relieve six kinds of pain and thank their parents for their kindness.

No matter rich or poor, we should prepare food, wine and paper money to pay homage to the deceased to show our memory of the deceased ancestors. The Mid-Autumn Festival is usually seven days, and there are old and new people. Those who die within three years are called new deaths, and those who die more than three years are called old deaths. Superstition is that the old and the new will go home to visit during this period, and the old and the new will come back at different times. The new one will come back first, and the old one will come back after the meeting. So it is necessary to visit the shrine alone.

The time to burn paper money is in the dead of night. Sprinkle a few circles of lime in the yard first, saying that the paper money is burned in the circle and the ghosts dare not rob it, and then burn it in piles. When burning, I kept chanting: "So-and-so will get the money." Finally, we have to burn a pile outside the circle, saying it is for ghosts. On the day when the deceased goes back, both rich and poor people should cook a good meal to commemorate the deceased, which is also called "seeing the deceased off".

The above is about the customs of festivals in Mengla Basin. I wonder if it will help everyone?
