2. According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, she was rescued from Cao Cao's million-strong army in Changbanpo, and her biological mother, Mrs. Mi, committed suicide by jumping into a well so as not to drag Zhao Yun down. Adou was personally taken care of by Liu Bei. However, it is inconvenient for Liu Bei to take children with him in the army, so he thinks it is better to give Adou to his later married wife (Sun Quanmei, that is, Sun Shangxiang) to raise him. So Liu Bei prepared many gifts and escorted them to the State of Wu. When I arrived in Wu, it happened to be the Long Summer Festival. When Mrs. Sun saw chubby little Adou, she liked it very much, but she was worried: After all, I am a stepmother. If Adou is not well raised, it will not only be difficult to explain to her husband, but also leave a laughing stock among the people. She thought of a way: today is long summer. I'll weigh Adou in front of Zhao Zilong, and then I'll weigh him in the long summer next year, and I'll know if the children are well raised. As soon as Mrs. Sun made up her mind, she had adzuki bean weighed. From then on, Mrs. Sun will weigh adzuki beans every year at the Long Summer Festival and then inform Liu Bei. In this way, in Jiangnan, the custom of respecting people in the long summer has been formed.
