      @solahaze8948 2 роки тому +11

      @@rebeccabertolini4420 It's actually possible that history got muddled and this is an actual appropriated story from Greece, since I think in that story, Psyke was married off to what was supposed to be a hideous monster (like the snake), who was invisible, and when she saw him, it turned out he was Eros (who was super hot, like the snake turned out to be), and he was mad she saw him and ran away. So, both stories involve the female character doing something their husband told them not to. And then mama aphrodite comes in and tells psyke to do some trials, and she gets help from gods and also birds.

She told me about the Star Festival and the story of Orihime and Hikoboshi. Tanabata for them was more of a romantic event and we wrote our wishes on tanzaku tied to bamboo branches followed by star gazing to see if we could see Vega and Altar. Been doing that every year since I met her over 9 years ago....

    It is interesting to know that Japan has a different folktale for Tanabata, or Qi Xi in Chinese. The Chinese celebrate it as lover's day, like their version of Valentine's day. But in Japan it's a make-a-wish day where they write their wish on a piece of paper and hang it on a tree.

    This reminds me of the story of Eros and Psyche, which is part of the inspiration for Beauty and the Beast (so there are similar themes there too):
    Marrying a monster who turns out to be a Diety/Royalty, having sisters who aren't willing to sacrifice themselves but then get jealous at the youngest sister's good fortune.
    In the Eros story they convince her to look at Eros while he slept and try to kill him, but the candle wax burns him and as a consequence he fled and she had to fulfill Aphrodite's quests to be reunited. In BATB they convince her to extend her stay, so that the Beast starts to die and she must rush back and save him.
    It's always interesting to see when there's an overlap in folktales. I love it. 😊

    I must've heard the Chinese version of this story then, because the story I heard was about a girl named Orihime, and a guy called Hikoboshi.
    Orihime's dad was a Kami, and he decides to marry her off to a cowherd named Hikoboshi. So, they marry and fall in love, but then Kami-sama gets mad, because neither one of them does any work any more, Orihime stops weaving every day the way she used to, and Hikoboshi stops doing cow stuff. So, Kami-sama separates them, but Orihime-chan is so sad that Kami-sama decides to let them see each other once a year, on July 7th.

    The legend of "Shokujo(Vega) And Kengyuro(Altair)" was in "19 old poems" summarized in "Selections of Refined Literature " in the Age of Han Chinese.
    Tanabata is a festival of chinese origin and Chinese transmission to begin with, but the Tanabata festival of China and Tanabata of Japan are treated as quite different things without being equated.

    Spot on as usual. When I lived in Nara, the locals told me that back in the old days people thought the Milky Way was a celestial river and the lovers were stuck on either bank. They had the usual decorations but added long, sparkly mylar ribbons. They didn't tie it in as much with Obon as other parts of Japan because the local Tokae lantern festival is just a month later, and they want the locals paring that with Obon instead.

    In the mythology of Amaterasu trying to tame the earth, ame no wakahiko, descends to earth where he falls in love with a eathling and betrays Amaterasu. He then proceeds to get killed because the arrow he shot reaches Amaterasu when she was talking to another god. One of the god ordered that arrow that if ame no wakahiko has betrayed them,let it strike him dead. And strike him it did.
    But as for the insect controlling cloth, it appears in the mythology with susano and his son in law.
