In Shandong province in the north, there is a saying: "On June 6th, big bowls of steamed stuffed buns beat big meat". That is to say, on June 6th, every household will make steamed buns, including flour ground from freshly beaten wheat and seasonal vegetables in their own small vegetable garden: kidney beans (beans), eggplant, potatoes, celery, green onions, garlic and leeks. And pork belly with good sauce. Northerners eat more boldly, and buns and jiaozi will make bigger packages. In addition, steamed stuffed buns are made of dough, so "June 6, the eggs are cooked" describes the scorching sun in June, and the eggs can be cooked at high temperature. Therefore, people put eggs in spring water on June 6 and waited for the sun to cook them when it was full. Nowadays, this custom is rare, but it has become a day of sunbathing.

In addition to drying clothes, moldy study rooms such as Mo Bao and book copybooks should also be taken out to dry; All the monks in the temple will set out on June 6th, the "Sun Festival".
