奈良的鹿被視為神的使者，這一信仰源自於古老的神道傳統和春日大社的傳說。春日大社是日本重要的神社之一，建於公元768年。根據傳說，春日大社的主神之一武甕槌大神（Takemikazuchi no Mikoto）從茨城縣的鹿島神宮來到奈良時，是騎著一頭白鹿的。因此，鹿被認為是神靈的使者和神聖的動物。這個故事在當地流傳已久，使得鹿在奈良受到高度的尊重和保護。

在神道信仰中，動物經常被視為神靈的使者或代表。這不僅僅限於鹿，包括狐狸、蛇等動物也被視為神靈的使者。在奈良，鹿的神聖地位尤為突出，因此當地人對鹿抱有深厚的敬畏和尊重之情。這種信仰深深地融入當地的文化和日常生活中，使鹿成為奈良的一大象徵。

奈良的鹿已經成為當地文化和旅遊業的重要標誌。這些鹿在奈良公園自由自在地生活，與遊客和當地居民和諧共處。許多遊客來到奈良，特別是為看這些自由漫步的鹿並與它們互動。鹿與遊客之間的互動友好，還可以購買專門的鹿仙貝餵食這些鹿，而有一些鹿在餵食後還會模仿人類的行為進行點頭答謝。

然而，近日有日本網民在社交平台分享一段影片，畫面中一名身穿白色襯衫的中國觀光客，在奈良公園狠狠一腳踢向身邊的鹿。鹿隻受到驚嚇逃跑後，男子卻追上去追上去補踢第二腳，還順道向周圍的鹿隻呼巴掌。消息傳開後許多日本網友憤怒的表示：「奈良縣警應該以虐待動物的名義展開搜查」、「真的很過分」、「完全不能接受」、「只敢欺負鹿的膽小鬼」、「亂踢不敢反抗的動物，人格有夠差！」、「這種外國人罪犯不准來日本」、「立刻將他驅逐出境」、「日本的性善說對這些人是沒有用的」。

鹿在奈良是神聖的象徵，對鹿的虐待行為被視為對當地文化和信仰的嚴重冒犯，因此當地居民要求將這名中國遊客驅逐出境，以表達對這一行為的強烈不滿和維護當地傳統的決心。

The deer in Nara are regarded as messengers of the gods, a belief rooted in ancient Shinto traditions and the legends of Kasuga Taisha. Kasuga Taisha, one of Japan's important shrines, was built in 768 AD. According to legend, one of the main deities of Kasuga Taisha, Takemikazuchi no Mikoto, came to Nara from Kashima Shrine in Ibaraki Prefecture riding a white deer. Therefore, deer are considered divine messengers and sacred animals. This story has been passed down locally for generations, leading to the high respect and protection of deer in Nara.

In Shinto beliefs, animals are often seen as messengers or representatives of the gods. This belief is not limited to deer; animals like foxes and snakes are also considered divine messengers. In Nara, the sacred status of deer is particularly prominent, and the local people hold deep reverence and respect for them. This belief is deeply integrated into the local culture and daily life, making deer a significant symbol of Nara.

The deer of Nara have become an important symbol of local culture and tourism. These deer live freely in Nara Park, coexisting harmoniously with tourists and local residents. Many visitors come to Nara specifically to see these freely roaming deer and interact with them. The interactions between the deer and tourists are friendly, and visitors can buy special deer crackers to feed them. Some deer even mimic human behavior by nodding in thanks after being fed.

However, a recent incident has caused outrage. A Japanese netizen shared a video on social media showing a Chinese tourist in a white shirt violently kicking a deer in Nara Park. After the deer ran away in fright, the man chased it and kicked it again, and even slapped other nearby deer. This footage sparked widespread anger among Japanese netizens, with many expressing their fury: "Nara police should investigate this as animal abuse," "This is really awful," "Completely unacceptable," "Only cowards bully defenseless animals," "This kind of foreign criminal should not be allowed in Japan," "Deport him immediately," "Japan's benevolent approach does not work with people like this."

Deer are a sacred symbol in Nara, and abuse towards them is seen as a severe offense to local culture and beliefs. Therefore, local residents are calling for the deportation of the Chinese tourist to express their strong disapproval of his actions and to uphold their traditional values.
