Tell me about Japan.

It takes about an hour to ride a bike along the national highway. There are few pedestrians and cyclists, but there are really many cars on the road. At every red light at the intersection, there are more than a dozen cars waiting on both sides. This road has been riding for a long time, and there don't seem to be so many cars on it. Maybe it's the epidemic. It's not safe to squeeze the subway.

? The names of place names and national highways are not specified here. Japanese national highways are not as wide as those in China, and they are horizontal and vertical. The national roads here are generally old roads. Of course, they are different from our Qin Zhi Road, which is too long. Japan called the main roads before the Showa and Meiji eras national roads, also known as ancient roads, which were not very wide and were similar to the general roads in Tokyo.

? Now I ride Mito Road, the main road connecting Tokyo with Mito, and the destination of riding is Chiba Harajuki Temple, near Beijiaojin Station.

Last night, I searched the Internet and found that there is a charge for visiting local temples, which is more expensive than Kamakura Buddhist Temple. According to my experience, I used to go to that forest park or tourist attraction in China before business hours in the morning. It is necessary to sacrifice the time of sleeping in. You can't have your cake and eat it.

? This is a way to save money. Generally speaking, scenic spots are free to enter and leave, which is convenient for nearby residents to do morning exercises. There is an important point here, that is, they must go out before the scenic spots open for business. The staff of the scenic spots are all at work, and the stranded tourists have to make up the tickets if they want to come up with the scenic spots without tickets. They have traveled several times, and this kind of care is also successful. But it is only applicable to larger scenic spots such as forest parks and nature parks.

? About an hour's drive, I rode to the front of the local temple.

The door is not big, a large green space.

An ancient Tokugawa Ieyasu-era building in the temple,

This is a five-story pagoda. Some important temples in Japan have five pagodas, which should be similar to Buddhist pagodas in domestic temples. In China, there are usually seven-story towers, which are generally the highest-level towers. In Japan, generally speaking, pagodas all have pagodas, mostly five pagodas. The remains of the Buddha are buried under the stupa, that is, the relics. The Buddhist scriptures in the stupa are also symbols of Buddha's thoughts. When you see the Buddha,

In addition to the main hall and the side hall, there is a Japanese-style courtyard behind. There is a long cloister with a lush courtyard. Pavilions and pavilions can be seen faintly among the trees in the tree-lined path. Looking at it, the mystery arises spontaneously.

? Primitive Temple is the main temple of Japanese Buddhist Sect Rilian School. Let me briefly introduce the Japanese Lotus School. There was also the Warring States period in Japanese history, when local governors conquered each other and the people were poor. At that time, the status of religion belonged to the superstructure, and there was a problem here. At that time, there were many religious sects in Japan. Shintoism, Buddhism and Confucianism all had their own temples and temples, arguing with each other and accusing each other of influencing the wrong country and failing to educate the people well. The Rilian Sect is the most critical of the Sect, which is unacceptable to them. They were ostracized and exiled to East Japan, and the sage of Rilian continued to preach the Dharma. The local temple was built by his disciple Rilang, and the tombstone of Princess Tokugawa Ieyasu was buried in the temple.

Rilian Sect calls other sects the last law, and only Rilian Hokkekyo can save the people in from the mire. Holy Lotus can be said to be a religious reformer, but the island of Japan is small and narrow. The influence of environmental conditions on ideological sublimation is far less than that of Martin Luther's religious reform in the west, and the two seem to be incomparable.

Rilianzong was once regarded as a heresy in Japan. The religious soil in Japan is far inferior to that in Europe and West Asia, and both Buddhism and Confucianism are foreign. Shintoism also came into being because foreign religions landed in Japan and felt the impact of foreign civilization. Although it has been popularized in Japan, it still cannot satisfy Japanese society. Only through the supplement of Buddhism and Confucianism, and the influence of Buddhism seems to be more harmonious with the Japanese way, Buddhist temples can be seen everywhere in Japan. Shintoism failed to unify Japan, let alone drive out other religions and form a monotheistic situation. The original foundation of Shinto is not so solid, but a regional and national belief passively formed in response to Buddhism. The cornerstone of thought is suspected to be a fake, and Buddhist thought seems to be earlier and has a preconceived feeling. The Japanese are not entangled in religion, unlike the western monotheistic beliefs, which are so extreme and dualistic. The world is divided into Christians and pagans, and there is no third kind. There is no distinction between good and bad. You can draw lots to tell your fortune when you go to a Japanese shrine. People pray for promotion at work, a good university, a good husband, and so on. Very practical, outsiders can't imagine what a religious lifestyle should look like.

? I walked in the local temple for about half an hour, but I didn't see any tourists. There shouldn't be many people coming from far away like me, and they had such an idea before going to work in the scenic spot. The peak season here is autumn, and the red leaves are a scene. The cherry blossoms in spring have passed. In the main hall of a Japanese temple, the plants near the stupa will turn into red leaves in autumn, especially at sunset, when the light shines on the leaves and then reflects on the temple tower. That magnificent video makes you feel mysterious and dignified. That's the feeling of the shrine written by Yukio Yamashima. It's perfect and amazing. Japanese people are particularly strange. Jingu Temple was set on fire because it was perfect. Perfection is not the Japanese spirit. Japanese people appreciate cherry blossoms, depending on their best condition when they see the cherry blossoms blown down by the wind. In their language, it is the sorrow of things, and the perfection of things is the god in the shrine. Things that coexist with people in this world are essentially things that can't reach the level of God. Imperfection is the present world, and the state of mourning for things is the world that coexists with people. Human nature and physical property can only be connected in imperfection, and mourning for things is the present world. Under one roof, appreciate each other, this is the story of the moment.

"Sorrow over things" is a complicated philosophical thought. Probably only Japanese can understand the essentials, but foreigners can't. I understand it this way.

After coming down, I went back. There is nothing to say along the way. The weather is very gloomy. The weather forecast showed that it would rain at eight o'clock, so I accelerated my trip and got home before it rained.
