What's the festival on March 3rd? What are the customs?
This festival can be traced back to the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. This is the most important festival in ancient times. People go to the water to take a bath together, which is called "praise" Since then, it has added sacrificial banquets and winding water.
In ancient times, the first three days in early March were marked by "cadres and branches", which was called "thinking above". After Wei and Jin Dynasties, this festival was changed to the third day of March, so it was also called Chongsan or March 3. Later generations inherited it, and it became a festival of drinking water by the water and having a spring outing in the suburbs. The traditional Shangsi Festival is also a baby day, that is, "Spring Bath Day", also known as Daughter's Day. After the Song Dynasty, Shangsi Festival, like Flower Festival, was gradually forgotten by people.

Social customs and habits
Shangsi Festival
Shangsi Festival originated from the witchcraft activities of orchid soup to ward off evil spirits. Bluegrass is used as a spiritual object in this activity. Bluegrass has the characteristics of fragrance, and the ancients had to fast in advance before holding major sacrificial ceremonies, including the best bathing method at that time-blue soup bathing, which was vividly described in Chu Ci. Sacrificing to the gods requires fasting, bathing and washing blue soup. The only difference is that bathing with blue soup is a personal behavior, mostly indoors, and can be implemented at any time, while bathing is a group activity and must be held regularly by the river.
