今宵は旧暦の１５日で満月

　本日、中国では春節から１５日が経ったので、今夜は十五夜です。そのうち東の空に満月が出ます。

　太陰太陽暦を使っていた大昔の日本もそうでしたが、紙が無く、カレンダーのない時代は、三日月が出たら３日であり、いざよいの月は１６日であり、月の満ち欠けで暦を知るとは確かに便利だったことでしょう。もちろん、上弦の月、下弦の月もそれぞれ上旬と下旬になります。現代と違い空気が澄んでいたので、月と生活は密接に繋がっていた想われます。

　ご存知の通り、私たちの身体には、月を部首に持つ漢字が多く有り、それらは腹、腕、筋肉、脚、肢、腸、肺や、心臓や内臓などです。生活面でも、朝、服、期間、望みなどに月が含まれてます。これらの漢字を考えた人間は月のパワーを信じていたのでしょう。

　日本列島と比較すると月の大きさ【直径3,474km】が理解しやすいです。月面は広大なので、もし、人類が月面に行ったとしても、移動手段はないので、ほんの一部に留まるだけでしょう。

　不思議なことは月面から地球を見ると、地球が浮いてる所は常に同じ空間です。地球の位置は未来永劫不変で動きません。しかし、月面の場所によっては、地球の見える高さや方角が異なり、違った空間に動かずに浮いてます。もちろん、地球が自転してることはよく分かります。

Dear my overseas friends

　The simultaneous interpretation for your understanding will be after my dinner in Japan time.

　......................

　Today, 15 days have passed since the Spring Festival in China, so tonight is the 15th night. A full moon will appear in the eastern sky.

　This was also the case in ancient Japan, which used a lunar-solar calendar, but in the days when there was no paper and no calendar, when the crescent moon appeared, it was the 3rd day, and the 16th day of the moon was the 16th day. That was certainly convenient. Of course, the waxing moon and waning moon are also in the early month and late months respectively. Unlike today, the air was clear, so it seems that the moon and life were closely connected, I guess.

　As you know, there are many kanji was connected with the moon and our bodies, such as abdomen, arms, muscles, legs, limbs, intestines, lungs, heart, and internal organs. And, in terms of life, the moon is included in morning, clothe, period, wish, etc. The person who came up with these kanji probably believed in the power of the moon.

　It is easy for us to understand the size of the moon [3,474 km in diameter] when compared to the Japanese archipelago. The moon's surface is so vast that even if humans were to go there, they would only be able to visit a small place of the moon because there would be no means of transportation.

　The strange thing is that when we look at the Earth from the moon surface, the space where the Earth is floating is always the same. The position of the earth in space will remain unchanged forever. However, if depending on moving by human-beings on the lunar surface, the height and direction of the Earth in the space can be seen differs, and the earth are floating motionless in a different height and direction. Of course, we know that the earth rotates.
