The sixth day of the sixth lunar month is the Washing and Drying Festival, which is the hottest time of the year. After the summer solstice, it coincides with the Lesser Heat and Greater Heat solar terms. The temperature rises, sometimes reaching around 40℃, which is higher than the body temperature of humans and animals. Liu Xi of the Han Dynasty said: "Heat means boiling, and the heat is like boiling food." The dog days of summer are centered on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. There is an old saying in Zixing, Hunan that "on the sixth day of June, a bubble will form and a piece of meat will grow", which means that washing and drying on this day will bring many benefits to people. Old Beijing has many folk customs: bathing, drying things, washing elephants, drying scriptures, appreciating lotus, watching the harvest of grain, etc. The sixth day of the sixth lunar month is commonly known as the "Washing and Drying Festival."
The Autumn Drying Festival on the sixth day of June is a typical agricultural custom with strong regional characteristics. Villagers living in mountainous areas in Hunan, Guangxi, Anhui, Jiangxi and other places have complex terrain and very little flat land in the villages. They have to use the racks and hanging racks in front of and behind their houses and on their windowsills and roofs to dry their crops. Over time, this has evolved into a traditional agricultural custom. This special lifestyle and scene of villagers drying their crops has gradually become the material pursued and created by painters and photographers, and has shaped the poetic name "Autumn Drying".
