Send the poor on the sixth day of the first month?

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, it is also called horse day. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the traditional view is that the first day of the first month is rooster day, the second day is dog day, the third day is pig day, the fourth day is sheep day, the fifth day is ox day, the sixth day is horse day and the seventh day is human day. According to China folklore, this is because when Nu Wa created everything, she created six animals first and then people, so the first day to the sixth day is the day of six animals.

Li Yong, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, said in The Story of Jinguyuan: The son of Levin is thin and modest, but well dressed. People use them to make new clothes, that is, they are cracked and put on the fire, and the palace is called poverty. On a dark day in the first month, the path died. People are in a mess now, abandoning junk. It was a sacrifice to heaven in an alley, saying it was to send the poor. According to Song, Chen, Liang and Yuan's Guang Ji at the Age of Years quoted from Wenzong Beiwen, Zhuan Xu gave birth to a son in the palace when he was in Gaoxin, and he was called a poor boy in the palace. Later, he died in the first month and was buried in the palace, saying,' Today, I will send the poor.

China folklore says that this poor ghost is the son of the ancient emperor Zhuan Xu. He is weak and short, and likes to wear rags and drink porridge. Even if new clothes are given to him, he will tear them up or burn them before wearing them. Therefore, everyone called him a poor man. In the dark of the first month, the poor son died, and the imperial secretary buried him and said, "Send the poor son today." Since then, the poor man has become a poor man feared by everyone.

According to the textual research of Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Pipe Cone Compilation", it became popular in the Tang Dynasty in China to send poor ghosts, but they were only called ghosts, not gods. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, poor ghosts were regarded as poor gods. Whether it is a god or a ghost, no one can tell.

The custom of sending the poor was quite popular in the Tang Dynasty. Han Yu, a great writer, once wrote an article "Send to the Poor", which said: (The Master) bowed to the poor three times and told him:' I have money to send, and I am interested in doing it'? Yao He, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, also wrote the poem "Three Poems to Send the Poor Day", the first sentence of which said: Every year on this day, we have to go to the streets to drink and worship. Thousands of families are watching, and no one does not send the poor. As can be seen from the last two sentences, the custom of sending the poor was quite common at that time. After the Song Dynasty, the custom of sending the poor still prevailed. Yu Quyuan of A Qing Dynasty recorded the words of the former dynasty in "Three Notes on Sending the Poor to the Tea Room": Persuade Mr. Lang to send the poor in his spare time.
