Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I believe that at this moment, whether we are around our families or not, our hearts are also tightly with our hometown relatives, eating moon cakes, worshiping the moon, and enjoying osmanthus flowers, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival of our countrymen. So, how did the Mid-Autumn Festival in Japan, which is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, spend it?
1. The Mid-Autumn Festival of the Japanese
As we all know, Japanese culture is deeply influenced by China, and many Chinese festivals have been transmitted to Japan, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is no exception (because Japan is only related to the lunar calendar, many festivals have been changed to the Gregorian calendar, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is still the 15th day of the lunar calendar, which is synchronized with the country).
Japan's Mid-Autumn Festival is not a holiday, so if you want to feel the strong Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere, the best place is the shrine.
Whenever the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, the major shrines in Japan will hold a moon viewing party, called "Matsuri Moon", where traditional songs and dances will be performed, such as witches performing Chang'e Running Moon, attracting many people to participate in the moon festival at the shrine and watch song and dance performances.

On this day, the Japanese people are not eating mooncakes, but a kind of evening dumplings. Of course, after eating and drinking, moon viewing is also an indispensable step.
Second, the moon in anime
Unlike the slightly indifferent Mid-Autumn Festival in Japan in reality, the moon, as a major symbol of the Mid-Autumn Festival, has a very high exit rate in anime works.
The heroine of the Japanese early 10th century work "Taketori Monogatari Monogatari", hui ye hime, is a person who lives in the moon world, who was sent to the world because of letting go of his sins, and finally returned to the heavenly realm on August 15, wearing the feather of heaven, and leaving behind the immortal medicine.
The story of Hui Ye Ji in Taketori Monogatari is more or less similar to that of Chang'e Ben Yue in China, and was adapted into the animated film "The Tale of Hui Ye Ji" in 2013, while in other anime works, the story of Hui Ye Ji and the Moon is widely cited.
In the second part of the theatrical version of "InuYasha", "Dream City in the Mirror", tennō Huiyeji has the ability to live forever, because one day when she was bathing in the hot spring, the clothes hanging on the branches were taken away by the voyeuristic man, and Huiyeji killed all the innocent men in the village in anger, and was later killed by the villain Shen Jiuye. (Cowboy: Why is this version of this story different from what I know233)
Naruto, the mother of the six immortals, Ōtsuki Keiye, gave birth to a son named Hagoromo, and also used the "Reincarnation Writing Wheel Eye" to release the "Infinite Moon Reading" to the people, which is the final BOSS (why is the good Moon Princess always the villain)
In addition to the legend of Hui Ye Hime, the moon in the anime has another distinctive feature - transformation.
The real identity of the heroine of "Sailor Moon" is the moon sailor, the original moon princess, and the sentence "on behalf of the moon to destroy you" when transforming has long become a classic line in the hearts of many post-80s and post-90s audiences.
The half-demon male protagonist of "InuYasha" will always disappear during the new moon and become a waste wood human (in fact, the killing pill is more compatible with the moon, whether it is its own temperament, or the moon mark on the forehead, or a silver hair).
The true appearance of the Saiyans in Dragon Ball is actually a gorilla, and when they see the full moon, they will become crazy and their combat power will explode.

The Introduction of the Mid-Autumn Festival is here, although the customs of various countries and places are different, but we celebrate the same festival, appreciate the same round of the moon, the love and yearning for the moon in our hearts are the same, and more importantly, there are people who accompany us to appreciate the moon at this moment.
Japan's "national writer" Natsume Soseki once left a short text translation for students in an English teaching, in which the male and female main moon strolled, the boy could not help but say "i love you", some students literally translated as "I love you", Natsume Soseki said after thinking for a long time, the Japanese will not say this, should be more gentle and subtle, a sentence "Tonight's moon is so beautiful" is enough.
If the reader in front of the screen happens to be admiring the moon, there happens to be that person around, implicitly, if you don't stupidly nibble on the mooncake, you may wish to say "Tonight's moon is so beautiful", everything is in silence.
