There is another saying, “each household sun clothes of various colors on the 6th day of the 6th lunar month”. That day, roughly the eve of the Minor Heat, is the hottest day in a year with the longest sunshine duration and the strongest solar radiation. That is why people would sun their clothes on the day, so as to get rid of humidity, mildew and moths. During the Qing Dynasty, when the 6th day of the 6th lunar month came, Beijing locals would ransack boxes and chests and take out clothes, shoes, hats and bedding to get them a thorough airing. That is why in some regions such a custom is called “the festival of airing clothes”.
