One of the reasons why annual events in Okinawa are held in the lunar calendar [Ryukyu and Okinawan Studies]

2/14 Edited to

... Read more沖縄の年中行事が旧暦に基づいて行われることには、昔からの自然や暮らしとの深いつながりがあります。特に月の満ち欠けや潮の満ち引きのリズムは、漁業をはじめとする生活様式に大きな影響を与えてきました。旧暦は太陽暦とは異なり、月の動きを基準としているため、満月や新月など自然のサイクルに合わせて行事を予定できるのです。 私自身も沖縄で生活する中で、旧暦のカレンダーが日常に欠かせないことを実感しました。例えば、旧正月や旧暦の七夕、十五夜などは現在も盛大に祝われ、多くの家族が集まって伝統的な食事や祈りを捧げています。これは単なる歴史の名残ではなく、自然のリズムを尊び生活の調和を図る知恵として生き続けている証拠です。 また、沖縄の副住職である帰依剛龍氏が指摘するように、旧暦は1年の日数の計算においても月の満ち欠けに関係しているため、潮の動きと密接な関係を持つ沖縄の行事に適していると言えます。漁業や農業など自然と共生する暮らしの中で、旧暦の活用は生活リズムの調和をもたらし、地域の文化や精神性を支えています。 このように、沖縄の年中行事が旧暦に基づいて行われる背景には、単なる伝統維持を超えた自然との共生の智慧が息づいているのです。現代でもその価値は失われておらず、地域の人々が心を一つにして伝統を守り続けている様子は、沖縄文化の奥深さを物語っています。

non-negotiable skincare item: beauty of joseon glow deep serum
this is one of the serums that actually made me notice a difference in how my skin looks. it’s super lightweight but over time it helps even out my skin tone and gives that natural glow. i use this after toner and before moisturizer, and i focus it on areas where i have dark spots or uneven skin
