The 19th day of the 3rd month in the Chinese calendar,when Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide,was widely accepted by Ming loyalists in the early Qing era as a memorial day to mourn the Ming.It is believed that through the creation of Ming loyalists,that day was transformed into the"Sun's birthday"in the popular religions among the southeast areas,which carried historical memories related to"opposing the Qing and restoring the Ming"throughout the Qing dynasty.Based on previous scholars,archival research,and fieldwork,this paper attempts to reconstruct the life story of that legend from two aspects:the legend of the Sun birthday as a"knowledge"about historical memory and the uniqueness of rituals in popular religions,in order to deepen the understanding of the history of knowledge dissemination since the mid-Qing and enrich discussions related to popular religions and historical memory.
