The spread of Sunny Dolls:

The custom of hanging "Sweeping Sunny Mother" was popular in Beijing, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei, Gansu, Jiangsu and other places in ancient times. This custom has been around at least in the early Yuan Dynasty. Li Junmin, a poet of the Yuan Dynasty, wrote the poem "Sweeping the Qing Niang": "She rolls up her sleeves, spreads her clothes, holds a broom, hangs it to the sky and waves her hand."

< p>In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the custom of sweeping the sun became more popular among the people. This custom was also recorded in Fucha Dunchong's "Yanjing Chronicles" and other books describing the scenery in Beijing. This custom can still be seen occasionally in northern rural areas today. There is still a song in Henan called "Sweet the Clear Lady to Stop the Rain": "Sweep the Clear Lady, sweep the Clear Lady, it will be clear in three days, I will put you in flower clothes, if it is not clear in three days, it will pierce your spine."

It is said that after the custom spread to Japan, because the people in Japan who presided over the ceremony of praying for rain and praying for sunshine were all monks, the lady sweeping the sun changed into this look! Later, it was also nicknamed "Sunny Baby". The ballad of the Sunny Baby and our "Song of Sweeping the Sunny Mother to Stop the Rain" actually have the same meaning but the same effect.
