First, Suzhou custom: On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, Suzhou has the custom of drying books. On this day, the pictures and books were exposed to the sun in the court, which was especially effective in preventing moth-eaten corrosion.

The monasteries and temples took out the collected scriptures to dry, and the monks took the opportunity to convene a "sutra-turning meeting" for the old rural women, who turned the scriptures and exposed them in the scorching sun, claiming that "turning the scriptures ten times can turn into a male body". There is also a folk saying: "June 6, dog rot bath." (Suzhou dialect calls bathing a rotten bath) It is to take dogs and cats to the river to bathe in order to avoid lice and fleas.
