[🤓Xunguo Elementary School🤓] What is the dance in the summer?
The rainy season in Japan is similar to that in Taiwan, mostly falling in May and June. After the rainy season, summer is officially here! Until the beginning of autumn at the end of August, there is a tradition of summer greetings in Japan - "See Mai い を 出 す in the summer". Why choose to send greetings at this point in time? There are three reasons for the spread: 🎐 Obon Festival offerings In Japan, there is also a tradition of Obon returning to the hometown to worship ancestors. Therefore, when returning home, they will bring gifts to relatives and neighbors in their hometown, so they will obtain different products from various places as worship offerings. It also gradually developed the habit of "summer greetings" during the Edo period. 🎋 The period of contacting feelings happens to be half a year apart from the New Year's card at the end of the year. Since the postal system developed in the Meiji era, relatives and friends who do not see each other often will send letters of greetings and at the same time inform about the recent situation in the family. 🍉 Reminder to pay attention to your physical condition Many diseases are easily caused in midsummer, and you will also remind you to pay attention to your body when greeting. For close relatives, friends or customers, fresh fruit will also be sent. While enjoying delicious fruits, it also supplements various nutrients. It's been a really tough summer! Xunguowu offers summer greetings and tips ~ I hope you can add more water and eat more fruits, and you can also consider bringing a gift box to gather together, care for your relatives and friends, and replenish the vitality of summer together!
