"The autumn dew on the head of a hundred herbs is collected when it is not embarrassing. The more sick you are, the thirst will be quenched, and people will be light and hungry. " The flower is exposed, which is a good color. Thus, dew-clearing has become the most special "ceremony" in the Millennium.

Every year on the eighth day of the first month, Tomb-Sweeping Day, the seventh day of July and the Millennium, incense parties are held to commemorate Yu Wang.
