Today is the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, and the blessings in the circle of friends have become six or six.
Many of us in China are very fond of the number (66 (66)), and even very obsessed; for example, if there is a 66 in the mobile phone number or license plate, the price is very high.
But, you know what?
Why six six big shun and not other numbers?
Some people understand that "six" and "slip" are consonant, representing "shun slip", so it is called "six six big shun";
It has also been explained that this idiom is derived from the Zuo Zhuan's "Junyi, Subjects, Fatherly Kindness, Filial Piety, Brotherly Love, Brother Respect, This Is called Liu Shunye".
Some people also explain from the I Ching Kun Gua that because the six yao of Kun Gua are all yin (six), that is, composed of 6 (six), it becomes six or six da shun.
Feng Lei believes that the six six big shun is not a specific reference to a specific item, but should be multiple meanings, that is, everything is good.
Because the ancients summarized all external factors except themselves into six combinations. Therefore, many concepts with six as numbers were born, such as "six animals", "six relatives", "six arts", "six classics", "six intestines", and so on, and the meaning of six six is to include all these concepts. Then the six six big shun is all smooth!!!
