Culture

The original name of Sunny Doll was Sweeping Maiden, which was introduced to Japan from China. In Japan, it was the first time to use figures related to magic, such as Sweeping Monks. Because people believe that only people with magic can sweep sunny days, nowadays Sweeping Maidens are all bald. Everyone must wonder why Sweeping Mother is called Niang, because in China, people call Sweeping Mother a sunny girl. It is not clear when Sweeping Mother was introduced into Japan, but it can be sure that it was introduced a long time ago. In China, the girl who cleans sunny days is dressed in green and red pants with a broom in her left hand. What we see are Japanese folk sunny dolls!

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 ears or heads. According to legend, in the Qin Dynasty, once the battle was over, the army would tie the heads of enemies with white cloth and hang them upside down on the battlefield with ropes. Later, because this form was too troublesome, it was simply made into the shape of today's sunny dolls with small white puppets, and each sunny doll represented a head. Slowly, this kind of white cloth puppet is related to sacrifice and becomes a symbol with sacrificial significance. As for the sunny dolls and rainy dolls that became popular in Japan later, they were only the result of the later development of this sacrificial feature. < P > It is said that sunny dolls originated from the folk customs in northwest China, and there are three sayings: < P > Stop the rain: this is also the origin of the name of sunny dolls, and the poem: "Roll up your sleeves and hold a broom, and when you hang it in the cloudy sky, you will wave your hand."

Math is a headache for Xin He, and it is even more annoying for her to be appointed as a math teacher by the principal. She begins to think that if someone comes to save her bad math. She won't hesitate to commit herself. When she was complaining in other classes when delivering the examination papers, she met Ke Lei, a boy at the same school who was good at math, and was appointed by the principal to teach her. Clay just wanted to finish the matter of going to the headmaster and teacher as soon as possible, so he seemed silent and aloof. Zheng Wei, another colleague of Ke Lei's, nagged to tell Ke Lei that he was the principal's little uncle. For Xinhe, the two boys are like megalomaniacs and candy, so neither of them has a good impression.

Surprisingly, the students in Xinhe's girls' class showed unusual interest in Kelei, who turned out to be a celebrity in the school. On this day, Xin He woke up suddenly in the middle of a nap. If this person is the one who came to relieve her disaster, then like him! It was Zheng Wei, a classmate of Ke Lei's who came for the first time. She was very sincere in teaching her and didn't forget to tell jokes. But she still doesn't understand.

Xin He wished that Ke Lei would be as annoying as he was when he first met her.
