The custom on March 3rd is to remember 300 words.

My hometown is in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, where ethnic minorities gather. There are many customs here. What I want to introduce is "Ge Wei Festival on March 3rd". In China, "March 3rd" is a traditional festival for the Han nationality and many ethnic minorities. According to legend, March 3rd is the emperor's birthday. China has had "On February 2nd, the dragon looked up; I was born in Xuanyuan on March 3rd. After Wei and Jin Dynasties, Shangsi Festival was changed to March 3, which was followed by later generations, thus becoming a festival for Han people to drink by the water and have a spring outing in the suburbs. But now, March 3 in every country appears in different forms. According to legend, the third day of March of Zhuang nationality is a festival to commemorate the singer Liu Sanjie of Zhuang nationality, so it is also called the Song Fairy Festival.

As we all know, folk songs are the characteristics of Zhuang nationality. There are several fixed folk song gatherings of Zhuang nationality every year, such as 15th day of the first month, 3rd day of March, 8th day of April and 15th day of August, among which 3rd day of March is the most grand. On this day, every household will cook colorful glutinous rice, color eggs and celebrate festivals. Songs usually last for two or three days at a time and are located in an open space not far from the village. Bamboo and cloth were used to build a singing studio to receive singers from other villages. Duets are mainly composed of unmarried young men and women, but old people and children come to watch and entertain. There are one or two thousand people in the small song fair and tens of thousands in the big one. Set up a song shed and hold a song meeting, where young men and women sing, touch eggs, throw hydrangeas and talk about love. Most Zhuang people sweep graves on March 3, and usually steam five-color glutinous rice on March 3.

Zhuang folk songs, also known as Zhuang folk songs, refer to folk songs sung by Zhuang people in Zhuang language. Zhuang songs can be traced back to the cry of hunting in Zhuang primitive society. Although Shout is not a song, it undoubtedly gave birth to the seeds of Zhuang folk songs. The true meaning of Zhuang songs should start from the productive labor and sacrificial activities in the primitive society of Zhuang nationality, which can be seen from the customs and habits of ethnic minorities now. The ancient songs of Zhuang nationality in Guangxi go to the market and hydrangea have been passed down to this day. Zhuang nationality is famous for its "good songs", while Zhuang township is famous for its "sea of songs". Zhuang people are good at expressing their lives and feelings with folk songs. Zhuang folk songs have a long history. The Zhuang people have been singing since Pangu's creation. Almost everyone can sing very well, which is close to the point of "talking with songs"

Throwing hydrangeas at the Song Fair Festival is mainly for entertainment, but also as a token of love. The girl took a fancy to a young man and threw the hydrangea to him. However, it is not the same thing for Zhuang people to play and throw hydrangeas for fun in the past one or two hundred years. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Fu's Xi Man Cong Xiao described the activities of throwing hydrangeas in the Song Dynasty: "At the local folk festivals for several days, men and women in the wild were divided into two friends, each with colorful new beans and millet, and they were called Phelan." Zhou Qufei also said in "Answering the Generation Beyond the Ridge": "On the third day of March, men and women got together and lived in a row, tied a ball with five colors and threw it along with the song, which was called flying nylon. When men and women succeed, women get married and men get married. " The so-called flying nylon is the hydrangea today.

Nowadays, in our family, although we don't celebrate festivals in the form of singing folk songs, we still cook five-color glutinous rice, dye eggs and so on. Such an activity with national characteristics will be an eternal classic.
