Why is the clay figurine festival so popular in Japan and dirty to outsiders?

Japan, a country rich in tourism resources, has all the scenery that an island country should have, and Hokkaido is a favorite place for tourists from all over the world and one of the places where young artists must go. But similarly, in addition to the beautiful scenery, there are many peculiar cultural customs in Japan, waiting for tourists to explore and discover. Let me introduce you today, Asia is the most? Dirty? The festival is in Japan!

This festival is the mud festival in Japan. In the impression of many Japanese people, Japan is a clean country, and there is no need for garbage cans on the streets. Everybody? Environmental guardian? ! However, the Clay Fighter Festival broke the inherent impression of China people on Japan, which is a traditional Japanese festival held in February every year.

This activity has a history of 65,438+000 years. On this day, the participants only wear underwear or sports bras, most of the men are naked, and then walk into some rice fields. They will face the cold weather, wipe the mud from the rice fields on each other, and even throw it away. There is no distinction between men and women here. Some men will just throw women into the mud.

For the Japanese, this is a very meaningful festival. Local people think that mud can be used to exorcise evil spirits and bring good luck to people. Therefore, people who take part in festivals should let each other be covered with mud, so that others can get good luck and themselves can reap good luck.

However, there are very few women participating in this activity, mostly men, because women think it will be dirty and men and women have close contact; There are also many men who throw themselves at women when they see them participating in activities, which makes many local women reluctant to participate in the Mud Festival. Even so, there are still many women participating in the activities.

In fact, it is not only Japan, but also many countries in the world have clay figurine festivals. In many countries, it is a festival to release stress and get good luck. But there are also many tourists who think this should be the most? Dirty? It's a holiday. I wonder how many bacteria will be in the mud. If it enters your body, that's bad. You may get sick.

However, every country has its own cultural customs and lifestyle, and traditional festivals are different. Just like many festivals in China, foreign tourists are puzzled and very curious. Every country's culture is different. When we travel abroad, we should make relevant travel strategies and respect other countries' cultures.
