日本的传统节日很多,有的是他们民族风俗形成的,有的显然是来自汉文化的影响。在日本,也有立春这一节气。每逢立春,日本人要在家门口挂上桂花树枝,然后人们一边用手撒上炒熟的大豆,一边嘴里喃喃念道“鬼出去,福进来”。在日语里,“大豆”的发音和“消灭恶魔”的“魔灭”同音。日本人把立春“撒豆驱魔”这一天,称为“撒豆节”。 There are many traditional Japanese festivals, some of them formed by their ethnic customs, and some obviously come from the influence of the Han culture. In Japan, there is also the beginning of spring this solar term. Every spring, Japanese people want to hang osmanthus branches at the door of their home, and then people sprinkle their hands with fried soybeans while mouting in their mouths, “Ghosts go out and bless them in.” In Japanese, the pronunciation of “Soy” sounds the same as “Evil Exterminator” of “Destroy the Devil.” The Japanese call the spring “sprinkling beans and exorcisms” on this day, called “bean sprouting.”
