Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) I guess it is in October. It's on 15, October. If it's not on that day, there is no lunar eclipse. I know for very sure. People assume that the moon is swallowed by a frog. All the villagers shout at that time. They shout, "Release it! Release it!" The event happens between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. It happens start from 7 p.m. at night. Sometimes, only half of the moon is covered. But sometimes, the whole moon is covered. That is lunar eclipse. I don't know much. But I know that this happen while the sun and the moon are rotating on their axis, something covers the moon. This occurs in October. I know that since I was young. God bless us with that kind of blessings. We have thinking skill. At the beginning of the new moon, it is up. Then, Kachin people thought that the moon comes up from there. They think the moon comes up from that side and goes down soon. I don't believe it. We can't see the moon in the daytime because the sun is bright. We can't see the moon in the daytime because of the sun. At night, we can see the moon clearly because the sun has gone down. I don't know if you know that theory or not? We can't see the moon on the first day of a new moon and the last day of a waning moon. It's because the moon is really close with the sun. The moon is not visible for two days. We say that it's the second day of a new moon when we could the very small moon from the earth. The moon is invisible on the first day of a new moon. I know that theory since long time ago. The moon doesn't come up from that side. Actually, the moon orbits the earth, and the earth orbits the sun. It's like the sun is revolving first and the moon follows it. Then, the moon is not visible from the earth. As soon as the sun goes down, we can see a crescent moon. The first day we could see the moon is the second day of a new moon. People say it is first, the first day we could see the moon. The moon is not visible on the first of a new moon and the thirtieth of previous month. And the first day of a new moon. We can't see the moon those two days. In the past, the elders called that time as 'Ming, Mang'. 'Ming, Mang' means 'the time when the moon is not visible'. Kachin people said like that. That is fixed. They set that there are thirty days in every month. They don't think of the fact that there will be 28 or 29 days in February, or 31 days in some months. For Kachin people, every month has thirty days. For lunar eclipse, Kachin people assumed that the moon was swallowed by a frog. They thought that a big frog swallowed the moon. Since I was a child, I didn't believe that. It couldn't be. But I didn't realize that the moon was blocked by the shadow of the sun. I didn't realize that. I just knew that it was covered by something. But, I am pretty sure that it is in October. In October, the sun and the moon are at the south of the Equator, isn't it? They are at the Equator. South place? October, January, February? Umm? January, February, March, April, May, June, June, the twenty-second of June. On the twenty-second of June, the sun is at the north pole, right? After that, on the twenty-second of December, the sun is at the south pole, right? On the twenty-third of December, it is being rotated. While the earth and the moon are orbiting the sun on their ways, they are perfectly lined up. Then, the moon is covered by the earth from the sun's light. Kachin people said that the moon was swallowed by a frog. It's like that. They didn't say why this kind of event happened. They never studied, asked, investigated or did any research. They only believed that it was swallowed by the frog. But there is no concerning with Nat spirits. It is never said that the event happened because of Nats.
