Legend of June 6th:

Once upon a time, there was a young Buyi named Daoshi, who was smart, capable, cheerful and optimistic, and had a beautiful singing voice. He often sang loudly during breaks in farm work. His singing and character moved one of the Jade Emperor's daughters. She came down to earth and became friends with him for hundreds of years, and the couple loved each other in every possible way. Who knows the good times will not last long.

Soon, the Jade Emperor learned about the fairy's descent to earth. He did not allow his daughter to marry a mortal, so he sent the gods to the earth to break up the loving couple.

When leaving, the fairy gave the arriving master a treasure gourd in tears and told him that she would meet him from afar at Nantianmen on the sixth day of June every year. The master obeyed his instructions not to remarry, and every June 6th he would go to the riverside to look at his wife in heaven until the end of his life. Later, in order to praise their steadfast love and express their gratitude to the fairy for gifting the treasure gourd, the Buyi people held grand celebrations and commemorations on the sixth day of June every year.
