Japanese greet each other with the word “Konichiwa”. This word is also related to the Sun. Japanese sometimes refer to the Sun as Konichi-sama. So saying “Konichiwa”to someone is like saying, “Hi Sun.” This comes from the traditional concept of Japanese being descendents of the Sun.
日本人見面打呼時說“Konichiwa”，這個詞也和太陽有關。日本人有時稱太陽為“Konichi-sama”，所以說“Konichi-sama”就像在說“嗨，太陽”一樣。日本傳統思想認為每個人都是太陽的分身。
