Shout in front of traditional Japanese performances

First of all, this is because the Japanese are superstitious. They think that if they are away from home for a long time, the house may be occupied by evil spirits, and calling home can drive away these evil spirits. If you get married, remind your partner loudly.

Calling before entering the door has become a custom that everyone will abide by in Japan. Especially men, generally speaking, Japanese men eat at home. Calling out at this time is to remind the wife that it is time to eat. When the wife hears it, she will come and help her husband change clothes. After all, their husbands have been working outside all day. In fact, this custom was influenced by Mencius, a famous thinker in ancient China. We know that many Japanese cultural customs are influenced by China, and so is the origin of this custom.

I believe many people know the story of Mencius divorcing his wife. The cause of the story is that Mencius didn't realize the reminder when he came home, and saw his wife disheveled and disheveled after entering the door. This was a very serious mistake in ancient times, so Mencius wanted to divorce his wife. At this time, Meng Mu no longer said it was Mencius' fault, because he didn't remind her in advance that his wife didn't have enough time to tidy up. Therefore, Mencius shouted outside the door every time he came back, and later this custom spread to Japan.

In addition, the Japanese believe that calling in front of the door can also remind the ghosts and gods in their homes to leave. But it's more of a sense of ceremony, which means you're home. No matter what happens today, I will feel at ease when I get home.
