Today begins my weekend, yeah! is that Friday is a holiday in Japan, so no class, and tomorrow I do not know why, but there is no class, so ..... party time! \\ (^ ^) / よろこぶ
But for now, today's post is about last week, I guess you may know, has been the Chinese New Year, particularly on day 3 was the Chinese year-end as are governed by a calendar different from ours.
The fact is that in Yokohama was a lot of events, parades and celebrations, so last Sunday I went to Arata-kun to Chinatown to spend the day in Yokohama ^ _ ^
At 14:00 started the show so here we went to take place before being devoured by the crowd (not you imagine the people who had).
Here I leave some photos of the parade:
into a kind of dances with dragons, very cool!
traditional dances with fans
Dragons was the part I liked
The kids also made their dance dragons ^ _ ^
Attendance XDD
The celebrations began on February 3 and the last is the 17.En day Thursday took the pamphlet Arata-kun put something on that day 17 in the evening will be the festival of lamps, it sure is beautiful, although I do not go again. Already
po r Finally, if anyone wants to read, I leave an old Chinese legend that I really liked:
This ancient Chinese legend that Ra Nian and a huge monster with horns that lived on the bottom of the sea throughout the year, but rose to the surface the night before the Festival to eat the crops, destroying homes or feeding the children of peasants.
The villagers were hiding or simply fled to mountainous areas with their families to get away from "monster of bad luck or death" (Guo Nian ). One night, the day before the arrival of the monster, the inhabitants of the village of Taohua were preparing to leave their homes closing their houses, herding cows and sheep to safety. In those moments came to town a beggar asking for asylum, but everyone was too busy to help.
All but one elderly woman who fed him and suggested he flee with the rest of the peasants into the mountains to get away Nian. "Women, if you give me a place to sleep at home, to keep Nian away from you " said the beggar. Seeing the little beggar forces, the old woman did not believe him and left him alone at home, she fled to the mountains.
At midnight, the ghost town except for the beggar, Nian came to plague but stopped at the home of the elderly: a trail of red paper was glued the door, the windows lighted candles, fireworks out of the back yard and could be heard laughing and singing beggar.
Nian, confused and with great surprise, left the village without destroying. Dazed by the din of fireworks and music returned to the seabed. The next day, when the farmers returned and saw the people in perfect thanked the beggar and joined the celebration , thereafter, to Nian not come back, have a habit of decorating the doors of houses with trails red paper where they write their wishes for the coming year.I hope you liked today's post.
