What festival is on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month?Sutra Drying Festival <br /> Legend has it that when Tang Monk returned from the West with Buddhist scriptures, his scriptures fell into the river, so he quickly fished them out to dry. That day was June 6, so later on, temples used June 6 as the day to dry scriptures, and it was called the "Sutra Drying Festival." Temples and Taoist temples of all sizes across the country will hold a "Scripture Drying Meeting" on this day, laying out all the stored scriptures to dry in the sun to prevent the scriptures from getting damp, being eaten by insects and being bitten by rats. For example, the Sutra Library of Baiyun Temple in old Beijing houses more than 5,000 volumes of Taoist scriptures. From the first to the seventh day of June every year, Baiyun Temple holds a Sutra-drying Party. At that time, Taoists, dressed neatly, burning incense and holding candles, take out all the "Taoist Canons" in the Sutra Library to ventilate and dry them in the sun.Tianfu Festival <br /> June 6 is also called "Tianfu Festival" (贶 means gift), which originated from Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Heng. On June 6 of a certain year, he claimed that God had given him a heavenly book, so he designated that day as Tianfu Festival and built a grand Tianfu Hall in the Dai Temple at the foot of Mount Tai. Although the folk activities of Tianfu Festival have been gradually forgotten by people, they still remnants in some places. In many places in Jiangsu, the whole family, young and old, congratulate each other in the morning on this day and eat a kind of fried noodles made of flour, sugar and oil. There is a saying that "On June 6th, eat cake crumbs to grow meat." It seems that fried noodles and "cake crumbs" should have the same meaning. It is also said that the Tianfu Festival originated in Yingzhou during the Song Dynasty. Song Shenzong was an emperor who was superstitious about gods and immortals. Legend has it that when he was the crown prince in Yingzhou, on June 6 of one year, he told others that in his dream, gods gave him a heavenly book, and after reading it he would become emperor. In the third year, he really became emperor. For this reason, he designated this day as Tianfu Festival and renamed Yingzhou to Shunchang, implying a place of rapid success. But as time went by, this festival gradually disappeared, and was replaced by "Sunning the Fu". In folks, practical people use the good sunshine on this day to dry clothes, bedding and other items to prevent them from getting moldy, so it is also called "Sunning the Fu". Washing and Drying Festival <br /> The sixth day of the sixth lunar month is known as the "Washing and Drying Festival" among the people. There is a saying that "on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, cats and dogs take a bath together." Pan Rongbi of the Qing Dynasty wrote in "The Annals of the Capital's Annual Customs": On this day, "the imperial carriage, ceremonial objects, poems, essays, classics and history written by emperors of all dynasties are dried in the sun in the imperial palace, the imperial archives and other places. The clothes, hats, belts and shoes of the scholars and commoners are also dried in the sun. Many women wash their hair on this day, believing that it will not be greasy or dirty. As for mules, horses, cats, dogs and other livestock, they also bathe in the river." There is an old saying in Zixing, Hunan, "On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, get a bubble and grow some meat", which means that washing and drying hair on this day will bring many benefits. Tianci Festival <br /> In many places in China, "June 6th" is called "Tianci Festival". Legend has it that Tang Monk finally obtained the true Buddhist scriptures from the West after going through eighty-one tribulations, but on his way back he accidentally dropped the Buddhist scriptures into the sea, so Tang Monk had to fish them out and dry them. Originally this was just a legend, but the ancients believed that the day when Tang Monk dried the Buddhist scriptures was the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, and therefore named this day "Tianci Festival", meaning that on this day "God bestowed Buddhist scriptures to save all living beings." |
