What does the old and pathetic legend of the Weatherchild look like?

I think the ancient and tragic legend of the Sunny Girl in "Weather Child" is to sacrifice herself in exchange for everyone's survival. On November 1, the love fantasy story directed by Makoto Shinkai came to China again. Three years ago, "Your Name" made director Makoto Shinkai famous.

At that time, he chose the phenomenon of a comet hitting the earth as the starting point of his story; Three years later, Makoto Shinkai chose the ancient legend of the Haruhina as the starting point for the story. From 2016 to 2019, from conferences to companies, the male protagonist once again saved the female protagonist and once again bravely changed the world. "Weather Child" tells the story of a 16-year-old boy from Kozushima who runs away from home and walks to downtown Tokyo due to a conflict with his parents.

Fan Gao has always carried "The Catcher in the Rye" to reflect his mood and rebellious character at that time. <>

When Hataka arrived in Tokyo, he encountered the same weather as Kozushima, where it was rainy and rainy. When he was in the most difficult time, Yona, a young girl who worked at the store, gave him a hamburger, which became the most delicious dinner in Sailtaka and also opened the heart of the cheerful sunny girl. Haruhunu is a tragic legend.

When the heavy rain continues and the torrential rain causes disaster, a girl begs not to rain anymore. The weather finally cleared, but the girl was gone. <>

The villagers believe that the girl sacrificed herself and saved everyone. Thus, the image of the girl was portrayed as a symbol of praying for good weather. As a rainy country, Japan provides the soil for the landing of the Harumu culture.

However, Haruto paper-cuts appeared much later, only in the middle of the Edo period, and their appearance was similar to that of "Sunny Sky Doll". The Sunny Doll culture has spread to this day, forming a unique phenomenon of Sunny Doll culture in Japan. The story of "Weather Child" has a certain social basis.

Many Japanese people think that the sun is shining everywhere some people go. They are the legendary "Sunny Guys" or "Sunny Girls". Osaka also established the All Japan Sunny Men and Girls Association.

Later, a Japanese version of the Sunny Day Doll appeared in Japan. The Sunny Day Doll has actually passed. In the trailer for "Weather Child", Yona is holding an umbrella full of sunny dolls, which already hints that she is a sunny girl.

So I think the ancient and tragic legend of the Sunny Girl in "Weather Child" is to sacrifice herself in exchange for everyone's survival.

It may be that for the sake of the great living environment of human beings, Qingnu sacrificed her joy as a human being to exchange some peace and happiness for human beings, I think so.

As a rainy country, Japan provides the soil for the landing of the Harusume culture. However, Qing Niang paper-cutting appeared very late, in the middle of the Edo period, and its appearance is similar to the Chinese "Qing Niang". The culture of Harusume has been passed down to this day, forming a cultural phenomenon unique to Japan.

The story of Weather Kids has a certain social foundation.

When he arrived in Tokyo, he was caught in a hazy and rainy day, just like the weather in Tokyo. When he was in the most difficult time, the girl who worked in the store, Yona Amano, gave him a hamburger, which became the most delicious dinner for Hataka, and became his sunny Haru (Haruto).

A hamburger given by Yang Cai. For Japan, it is likely that the Qingnu is a foreign belief introduced from Jiangnan, China. Every year from May to June, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, southern Korea and south-central Japan are famous for the hot and cold air clashing at the turn of spring and summer.

During the rainy season, there is often a rainy weather phenomenon that lasts for one month. In order to pray for a sunny day, Jiangnan people specially make paper-cutting "sweeping Qing Niang". Qing Dynasty Changzhou writer Zhao Yi "陔余覀 Cong Kao Sweeping Qing Niang":

Wu custom, after a long rain, there is a paper-cut in the boudoir for the female form, holding a broom, hanging under the eaves to pray for sunshine, called sweeping the sunny mother. ”

Prone to the appearance of the Rain Maiden - a transparent whale incarnated by the dead Sunny Maiden, a large and random drainage.

It has been rainy for several days, and people's mood will also be irritable. At this time, we always thought that if the sky could really listen to us, it would be nice to give us a sunny day. However, when a person does have the superpower to make the sky clear, it is the beginning of tragedy.

<> movie "Weather Child" tells such a story. The heroine, Yona, accidentally becomes a weather witch and obtains the superpower to make the sky clear, but Zaiyu faces the threat of death. In the film, the soothsayer says that Haruhunu is a natural spirit attached to Inari, and Rain Maiden is a natural spirit attached to the dragon god system, which correspond to the Inari belief and the dragon god belief respectively.

Inari belief is the worship of the god Inari, who blesses all good weather. In the film, the weather roughly repeats the change process of rain-sunny-rain, but different rains turn sunny, corresponding to different scenes and different moods.

The fox is the messenger of the god Inari. From the beginning of spring to the autumn harvest when farming begins, the fox comes to the village and returns to the mountains at the end of the harvest, and is considered to be the guardian deity of farming. It is believed that this fox is an invisible spirit animal "white fox" and a messenger of "Mr. Inari", the god of abundant grains.

Since ancient times, there have been legends of the dragon god who is in charge of rain. Minokuni Hirano (present-day Kobe-cho, Yahachi-gun, Gifu Prefecture) was hit by a severe drought, and all crops were on the verge of wilting. At that time, the county secretary Yasuo Yasuji found a small snake in the grass and said to him:

If it's going to rain, send my most important daughter. "This little snake is the dragon god, and later Anji married his daughter to the dragon god, and it rained heavily, and the drought problem was successfully solved.

The image of the heroine in the film, Yona, is closer to the legendary rain girl, who is a shrine maiden who connects to the sky, although she is not married to the god of the sky Nennori, but she acts"Human columns", after being sacrificed to the sky, the sky will stop raining. As a weather witch,,Possess the power to control nature.,But because of this, it's also a sacrifice for self-staring.。 At first, Yona, who had this divine power, didn't understand the power of nature, and prayed for a sunny day many times, but let her body become transparent again and again.

The rain girl is actually the dead Sunny Maiden, and the Sunny Maiden is a witch who will turn into the Rain Maiden after death.

The soothsayer said that the Sunny Maiden is the natural spirit attachment of Inari, and the Rain Maiden is the natural spiritual attachment of the dragon god Fortune High Lineage, and they correspond to the Inari belief and the dragon god belief respectively. The Sunny Girl is quietly decomposed into the fish of the sky, and the fish of the sky stops the rain. Qingnu does not bury her feet for entertainment, but for livelihood.

I feel that it should be the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, because only the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven can have the power of rain and look so good.
