Ukuvulwa kwezibani zesibusiso kuvame ukuqala ngobusuku be-14 benyanga yokuqala "izibani zokuhlola", kanti ngobusuku be-15 "izibani", abantu kufanele bakhanyise izibani, ezaziwa nangokuthi "thumela izibani nezimbiza", ukuze bathandaze konkulunkulu.

Ukwethulwa kwesiko lamaBuddha eMbusweni waseMpumalanga Han nakho kwaba nendima ebalulekile ekwakhiweni kwamasiko oMkhosi Wezibani. Ngesikhathi sikaYongping soMbusi uMing woMbuso waseHan, uMbusi uMing woMbuso waseHan wayala ukuthi ubusuku be-15 benyanga yokuqala esigodlweni nasezindlini zezindela "bashise izibani ukuze babonise uBuddha" ukuze bakhuthaze ubuBuddha. Ngakho-ke, isiko lokukhanyisa izibani ngosuku lwe-15 lwenyanga yokuqala landa kancane kancane eShayina ngokwandiswa kwethonya lesiko lamaBuddha kanye nokwengezwa kwesiko lamaTao kamuva.

Ngesikhathi seMikhosi yaseNyakatho neyaseNingizimu, umkhuba wokukhanyisa izibani eMkhosini Wezibani waba yinto ethandwayo. UMbusi uWu waseLiang wayekholelwa kakhulu kubuBuddha, futhi isigodlo sakhe sasihlotshiswe ngezibani ngosuku lwe-15 lwenyanga yokuqala. Ngesikhathi soMbuso WaseTang, ukushintshana kwamasiko phakathi kweShayina namazwe angaphandle kwasondelana, ubuBuddha bachuma, futhi kwakujwayelekile ukuthi izikhulu nabantu “bakhanyise izibani zikaBuddha” ngosuku lwe-15 lwenyanga yokuqala, ngakho izibani zobuBuddha zasakazeka kubantu bonke. Kusukela eMkhosini WaseTang kuqhubeke, uMkhosi Wezibani waba umcimbi osemthethweni. Usuku lwe-15 lwenyanga yokuqala yekhalenda lenyanga uMkhosi Wezibani.

Usuku lwe-15 lwenyanga yokuqala yekhalenda lenyanga uMkhosi Wezibani, owaziwa nangokuthi uMkhosi weShang Yuan, uMkhosi Wezibani, kanye noMkhosi Wezibani. Inyanga yokuqala yinyanga yokuqala yekhalenda lenyanga, futhi abantu basendulo babebiza ubusuku ngokuthi “ubusuku”, ngakho usuku lwe-15 lwenyanga yokuqala lubizwa ngokuthi “uMkhosi Wezibani”.

Ngenxa yezinguquko emphakathini kanye nezikhathi, amasiko nemikhuba yoMkhosi Wezibani sekushintshe isikhathi eside, kodwa kusewumkhosi wendabuko waseShayina. Ngobusuku bosuku lwe-15 lwenyanga yokuqala, abantu baseShayina baba nochungechunge lwemisebenzi yendabuko yabantu njengokubuka izibani, ukudla amadombolo, ukudla uMkhosi Wezibani, ukuqagela izimfumbe zezibani, kanye nokushisa iziqhumane.
