The story of June 1st originated from Ouyang Xiu, a poet in Song Dynasty. The story of "June 1st" comes from Ouyang Xiu's "The Story of June 1st by a layman": A guest asked the Japanese, "What is June 1st?" The layman said, "My family has a collection of 10,000 books, including 1,000 copies of epigraphy of three generations, a piano and a chess game, and always a pot of wine." The guest said, "It's for Wuyi Er. What can I do? "

The layman said, "I am not an old man in these five things?" Ouyang Xiu's title of "six-year-old layman" comes from six things that he was fascinated by at home in his later years. As mentioned in the original text, there are 10,000 books at home, including 1,000 inscriptions since Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, a piano, a chess game, and often a pot of good wine, plus his aging self among these five things.

Ouyang Xiu (65438+August 20071-1September 22, 072) was born in Mianzhou (now Mianyang, Sichuan) and Luyongfeng, Jizhou (now Yongfeng County, Ji 'an City, Jiangxi Province), a politician and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty.
