What festival is the sixth day of the sixth lunar month?

The sixth day of the sixth lunar month is an important festival of the Han nationality in a year, and it is also popular among Tujia, Miao, Buyi and other ethnic minorities. This means that although June 6th is an important traditional festival of Tujia people, it is not unique to this nation. It not only has the historical image of Han festivals, but also has the characteristics of its own nation.

Most Tujia people call June 6th "Sun Dragon Robe", which is basically the same as that of Han people, but the festival legend is completely different. There are many legends about the origin of June 6, among which the most widely circulated is that this day was the day when Qin Nan, the toast of Maogang, Hunan Province, had an accident.

According to legend, Qin Gui was killed on this day to resist the national oppression of the feudal dynasty. On the execution ground, Qin Dong glared at him. When the executioner peeled the skin, nine golden dragons suddenly flew out of him, and suddenly it was dark and the sun and the moon were dark.

Zhu Yuanzhang fainted from the golden dragon chair, got up quickly and prayed to heaven. At the same time, he ordered people to be dried, tied into a statue of Qin Dong, and let him sit on the throne for seven days every year. Tujia people snatched Qin Dong's bloody shirt back, washed it and dried it, and set up a temple for sacrifice, which is called "drying the dragon robe". According to folklore, June 6th is an important memorial festival for Tujia people.
