On March 3rd, a national festival in Guangxi, what activities do you usually have?

Wuzhou, Guangxi had a holiday on March 3, but there were not many activities, probably because there were many Han people. However, there are some customs besides festivals.

First, tea garden folk songs. In Wuzhou, Guangxi, there is a regional tea-Liubao Tea in Liubao Town, and there are also various tea gardens around this town. Around March 3, it was the second spring tea picking time, and basically the tea mountain was crowded with people. When picking tea, there are folk songs in duet, and almost everyone can do it when the older generation takes it.

Of course, in terms of costumes, few ethnic minorities pick tea, because most of them are Han people, and occasionally some Miao costumes are just needed in scenic spots. However, folk songs have no national boundaries. No matter what nationality people are, when picking tea, several people will shout a voice, and then they will sing the whole paragraph. March 3rd is a "folk song festival" in Guangxi itself. On this day, the tea garden sings more happily.

Second, lion dance. Wuzhou people are obsessed with lion dancing. As long as it is a grand festival, there will be lion dance activities, such as the third day of March. Although the lion dance on March 3 is far from going door-to-door like the Chinese New Year, there are lion dances in relatively large squares and parks.

For example, on March 3rd, there was a lion dance near Canghai Lake in Wei Long, Wuzhou. This place is the nearest Wuzhou scenic spot to high-speed railway station, and no one is there. Therefore, foreign tourists will choose to play nearby, and there will naturally be a lion dance on March 3.

But the lion dance on March 3 is actually more difficult than during the Chinese New Year, because the temperature is relatively low during the Chinese New Year, and the highest is more than 20 degrees, but March 3 is different. In Wuzhou, the temperature is almost 30 degrees at this time. In this weather, people who watch lion dances outdoors should guard against heatstroke every minute, let alone dancers.

Third, kill the chicken and eat "black rice". Except for ducks in July and a half, other festivals in Guangxi are all about killing chickens. Therefore, it is normal to kill chickens on the third day of March. Who told Guangxi people that a banquet without chicken is impossible?

Killing chickens is quite common and distinctive, that is, "black rice". Wuzhou March 3 is different from the colorful glutinous rice of the dealer. We are not so persistent in looking for materials of every color, and only choose the most common maple leaf to make "black rice". Seriously, some people from other places may not be used to it, but the taste is different.

On the festival of March 3, only some rural people will pay attention to black rice. Among people who have moved out of the city, this custom has basically been removed, and it is no different from others except killing chickens.

Generally speaking, March 3rd in Guangxi is different in different cities. In Wuzhou, the water city, the custom is the above activities, because this festival is a busy farming period and will not be too lively.
