7月　文月「ふみづき」

文月とは　旧暦7月の異称

文月の語源は、短冊に歌や文字を書き、初動の上達を祈った七夕の行事に因み、「文披月」が転じたとする説が有力とされる。
七夕の行事は日本に元々あったものではなく、奈良時代に中国から伝わった風習なので、文披月の説を間違いとするものもあるが、「文月」の語が見られるのは奈良時代以降のため、何も不自然な説ではない。

The most likely theory is that the etymology of ``Fumigetsu'' came from ``Fumibigetsu,'' which comes from the Tanabata event where people wrote poems and letters on strips of paper and prayed for their initial improvement.

The Tanabata event did not originally exist in Japan, but was a custom that was introduced from China during the Nara period, so some people believe that the theory of ``Fumigetsu'' is incorrect, but the word ``Fumigetsu'' can be seen in the Nara period. Because of the following, there is nothing unnatural about this theory.
