Fireworks legend

According to legend, in ancient times, Wu Xu, a Dong girl, went to the river to salvage fish and shrimp and saw a water snake chasing a small fish. The girl drove away the water snake and saved the little fish. On the third day of March the following year, Wei Wu went to the river to wash clothes. Suddenly, a beautiful girl stood on the water and said to her kindly, "I am the daughter of the dragon king." My sister saved me last year. I am here today to thank you. "

Since then, the dragon lady often stole some jewels from the Dragon Palace and gave them to the committee. The Committee often uses these jewels to realize silver to relieve the suffering people. Later, when the Dragon King found out, he locked up the Dragon Lady and forbade her to associate with the world. People miss the dragon lady, so they hold a fireworks show on March 3 every year, which has become a custom so far.
