What is the moral of June 6th?

The moral of June 6th is respect and gratitude.

June 6th was chosen as "Mother's Day" because the Yellow Emperor married Lei Zu and Lei Zu was China's mother. This day is also called "Lei Zu Day". In addition, there is a proverb related to June 6th, "On June 6th, a prostitute gave a piece of meat to her mother". This proverb comes from an ancient tradition. Daughters-in-law will send a piece of meat to their mother-in-law on this day to show their respect and gratitude.

Celebrating Mother's Day not only expresses our gratitude to our mother, but also lets us know more about China culture. "On June 6th, June 6th, new wheat steamed buns boiled mutton", the first ten days of June coincided with the wheat harvest season, which coincided with the fat month of sheep fat, and the cultivators just finished their intense harvest work to celebrate the bumper harvest. At this time, it is a good opportunity to bring my daughter back to her parents' home for reunion, so she has the custom of "going back to her parents' home" on June 6 and invited her aunts.

The legend of the sixth day of June:

According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Hu Yan, the prime minister of the State of Jin, was very proud of his work, but his in-laws Zhao Shu hated him. He bluntly scolded him, but Hu Yan didn't listen and publicly accused his in-laws. Zhao Shu was old and weak, and soon died of anger. His son hates his father-in-law's unkindness and is determined to avenge his father.

In the second year, the summer grain of Jin was affected, and Hu Yan went out to Beijing to release grain. After he left, he told his family that he would go home for his birthday on June 6. After Hu Yan's son-in-law learned the news, he decided to kill Hu Yan on June 6 to avenge his father. Hu Yan's son-in-law told his wife about the decision, and Hu Yan's daughter was frightened all day after learning the news. On the fifth day of June, she ran home quietly and told her mother the news. Hu Yan's son-in-law knows that things are exposed, and she lives in fear every day.

On the morning of the sixth day of June, Hu Yan came to ask her son-in-law. When he arrived at Xiangfu, Hu Yan invited his daughter and son-in-law to sit on the table, and then said to them, "I have been giving away food for a year. I saw the suffering of the people and realized that I had done something wrong in recent years. Today, my son-in-law tried to kill me, although it was too vicious, but he didn't do it.

I will never blame him for killing people to avenge my father. The daughter saved her father from danger and did her filial duty. She deserves my worship. Make up for me, my husband, regardless of hatred! "Words, all the guests pleasantly surprised, daughter, son-in-law kowtow apology, avenge.

Since then, Hu Yan has sincerely changed. In order to remember this lesson, Hu Yan invites his daughter and son-in-law to reunite every June 6, and Weng Xu is closer than before. After this incident was made public, all people followed suit, and they also took back their daughter on June 6, which should be good luck to eliminate disasters and dissatisfaction. With the growth of age, they have become accustomed to each other and have been passed down to this day.
