Gratitude for harvest 舉行神樂舞蹈感謝豐收

In autumn people play sacred dances to express their gratitude for good harvest .

Fox is a symbol of agriculture.
He brings happiness to people.
He shoots arrows to exterminate evils.

  1. The Fox must be very welcome if he does all those nice things, and I just thought he gobbled up any stray chickens!
    He looks a fine and happy fellow, may he bring much happiness to you and keeps all arrows at a distance.

    Fox is also taken as a wily animal. But he can catch field mice which damage crops. I think that ancient people saw his good point.

    People in western and eastern sometimes have different impressions on a same thing. In China, a dragon is a symbol of a emperor.
