In the Chinese cultural tradition, the number "six" has always been regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness and success. Whether it is some habits in daily life or important celebrations, we can see the figure of "six". So, why is this universally loved number "six" associated with smoothness and auspiciousness? Today, let's take a look at the origin of "Six Six Shun".
The phrase "Liuliu Dashun" first appeared in "Zuo Chuan". During the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Zhuanggong, the monarch of the Lu State, was very concerned about warfare and often fought with other countries. During the reign of Duke Lu Zhuang, he fought a great battle with the state of Qi. In this battle, Lu Zhuanggong's chariot was encircled, and the situation was very critical. However, at this moment, a big shun beast suddenly appeared, and it used its sharp horns to push away all the enemies besieging Lu Zhuanggong. As a result, Lu Zhuanggong was able to escape smoothly. In order to commemorate this experience, Lu Zhuanggong ordered that June 6 of each year be designated as the "June 6 Shun Festival", which means that everything will go very smoothly on this day.
With the passage of time, the meaning of "six or six major shuns" has gradually changed. Originally, it only meant that the 6th of June would go well, but later it evolved to mean wishing for all the best. This phrase is widely circulated among the people and has become a way for people to express their good wishes.
In folk beliefs, the number "six" represents completeness and perfection because it contains two opposing aspects, yin and yang. In the ancient philosophy of yin and yang, everything in the world is composed of two poles, yin and yang, and the "six" just represents the harmony and unity of these two poles. Therefore, "six or six shun" means that everything is smooth and perfect.
In addition to the explanations in the philosophy of yin and yang, there are also some historical events that are also related to the emergence of the phrase "six or six great shuns". For example, during the Ming Dynasty, in order to commemorate the prosperity of the country during his reign, Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, designated June 6 as the "Tianshun Festival", which means that the time and place are favorable, and the country is all the best. On this holiday, people celebrate various events to pray to the heavens to bless the country with prosperity and the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
With the passage of time, the "Tianshun Festival" gradually evolved into today's "June Six Shun Festival". On this holiday, people exchange gifts and celebrate with dinners to pray for the best of the world and the happiness of their families. Merchants will also take the opportunity to launch a variety of activities to attract consumers to shop, which further promotes the formation of a festive atmosphere.
In modern society, "66 Shun" has become a cultural symbol and a symbol of national spirit. It represents people's yearning for a better life and prayers for success and peace. Whether it is in personal life or in the development of the country, "66 Shun" is entrusted with people's expectations for a better future.
In short, the phrase "Liuliu Dashun" originated from the ancient yin and yang philosophy and historical events, and after a long period of evolution and development, it eventually became a cultural symbol and a symbol of national spirit. It represents people's yearning for a better life and prayer for peace and security, and has become an indispensable part of people's lives.
