1. June 6th is a traditional festival for the Han people and some other ethnic minorities.

Due to different living areas, the dates of festivals are not uniform.

The Han people and some Buyi areas celebrate the sixth day of June, which is called June 6th.

2. The Dragon Boat Festival is held every year on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month in Huyang Town, Dangtu County, Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province.

Unlike dragon boat racing in other places, the Dragon Boat Festival in Huyang commemorates the birth of Dayu, the hero of flood control, and worships the Dragon King much earlier than commemorating Qu Yuan.

3. In Huyang, there is a head voltage of six in June.

The fifth month of the lunar calendar is the flood season, and it often rains.

When water is released upstream, it rises very quickly, and the water level will drop in June, which is the so-called head voltage.

This means that the most dangerous flood season this year has passed.

It also coincides with June 6, the birthday of Dayu, the hero of flood control.

So on this day, in order to thank the two great gods Dragon King and Dayu for their blessings, we pray for a good harvest in the coming year and no disasters during the Dragon Boat Festival on June 6th.
