七夕（たなばた）

昨日は七夕だった。七夕は７月７日の夜に織姫（おりひめ）と彦星（ひこぼし）が天の川（あまのがわ）で１年に１度会えるという伝説（でんせつ）だ。日本人は中国の「乞巧奠（きこうでん）」という行事（ぎょうじ）をもとに、願い事を書いた「短冊（たんざく）」を笹（ささ）に飾（かざ）り、お祈（いの）りをするという風習（ふうしゅう）がある。本来（ほんらい）、習い事（ならいごと）の上達（じょうたつ）を祈るために行（おこな）われていたそうだ。私はそれを知らずに、大人（おとな）になってからは「物がほしい」や「旅行に行きたい」などと書いた記憶がある。今は短冊にこう書きたい、“中国語がもっと上手（うま）くなりますように！”
