Sakyamuni, the son of King suddhodana of the Kapylowei Kingdom in ancient India, was named Gautama and Siddhartha. Sakyamuni, literally translated as "Benevolence and Silence", also means "Sage of Sakyamuni". Sakyamuni Buddha's birthday, the day of becoming a monk and the day of enlightenment are all on the eighth day. His birth, death and nirvana are all on the same day, which means that he will never live or die and never go anywhere. The eighth day of April is the birth day of Sakyamuni Buddha, the eighth day of the first month is the day of becoming a monk, and the eighth day of the twelfth month is the day of becoming a Buddha.
The eighth day of the first month is also the Valley Day Festival, also known as the Valley King Festival, which is one of the traditional festivals. Legend has it that the eighth day of the first lunar month is Xiaomi's birthday, which is called Gu Ri or Gu Ri Festival. In China folklore, Nu Wa created man. From the first day, she created chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cows, horses and other animals in turn. On the seventh day, she created people, and on the eighth day, she created millet. Therefore, the eighth day is the birthday of the grain.
