3、Kanju And Manju
干珠和满珠
Japanese Mythology
日本神话
Like most elements of nature, the legend of the tide jewels, Kanju and Manju, ties back to Japan’s mythological belief in dragons. The legend of the tide jewels is considered a Japanese fairy tale and most of what we know about them comes from a single story, which ties back to the legendary Dragon King.
和大部分自然元素一样，潮汐宝珠的传说，也和日本对龙的崇拜有关。潮汐宝珠出自一个日本的神话传说，我们现在所知道的关于它的一切，其实都是来自于一个和海龙王有关的故事。
Legend says that the Empress of Japan, Jingu, once decided to take over Korea. To help her in her conquest, she sent one of her servants into the nether realms to talk to the Dragon King. She wanted the tide jewels, two relics forged by the Dragon King, which controlled the very seas themselves. He granted the Empress’s request and, with the aid of the relics, they took over Korea. When the invasion was over, she cast the jewels back into the sea, returning them to the Dragon King.
传说日本的神功皇后打算入侵朝鲜，为了达成目的，她派了一个下人下到海底，请求龙王赐予它亲手锻造的用于控制大海潮水的潮汐宝珠。龙王答应了皇后的请求，有了宝物相助，日本人于是拿下了朝鲜。侵略结束以后，皇后将宝珠投入大海，还给了龙王。
