The legend of June 6:

Once upon a time, there was a young Buyi called Taishi, who was smart, capable, cheerful and optimistic, and had a moving voice. He often sings between farm work. His singing and personality touched a daughter of the Jade Emperor. She has been a teacher for a hundred years, and her husband and wife love each other in every way. Who knows it won't last long.

Soon, the fairy came down to let the jade emperor know that he would not allow his daughter to marry a mortal, so he sent a god to separate the loving couple.

When she left, the fairy gave the teacher a gourd with tears in her eyes and told him that she would pick him up from afar on the sixth day of June every year. According to the teacher's instructions, he will not continue to get married, and will go to the river to face his wife in the sky on June 6 every year until he enjoys his prime. Later, Buyi people held a grand celebration and commemoration on the sixth day of June every year to celebrate their loyal love and express their gratitude to the fairy for giving the gourd.
