福建作為明清時期中琉交流的重要驛站,隨著與琉球的頻繁交往,其民俗文化對琉球的影響也日漸深入。福建泉州農歷七月舉行的"鬼節"是閩南地區重要的民俗活動。日本南部的沖繩亦在同樣的時間舉行"盂蘭盆節"祭奠祖先。通過比較泉州"鬼節"與沖繩"盂蘭盆節"的異同,可以展現中日兩國在文化上流傳、交流的痕跡及漢文化在異域流變的過程,從而增進對中日兩國文化的理解與包容,對中央提出"一帶一路"發展戰略的加速實施也具有重要的意義。

As the important location connecting China and Ryukyu in Ming and Qing Dynasties,Fujian’ s folk-customculture exerted great influence on Ryukyu after the frequent contact with each other. The Ghost Festival on July 7thin the lunar calendar in Quanzhoucity of Fujian is the important folk activity, which seems a coincidence with Okinawa in Japan, which has the Obon Festivalto worship their ancestors at the same time. By comparing the differences and similarities between the twofestivals, we can have a better understanding to the spreading and communication between Chinese and Japanese culture, as well as the transformation of Chinese culture in foreign countries,which will improve the understanding and tolerance between the two cultures, and bring benefitsto the promotion of the "One Belt and One Road" strategyproposed bythe Chinese government as well.
