What festival is the third month of the lunar calendar 15?

This day is the traditional Miao festival Sisters' Day.

Miao Sisters' Festival, also known as Sisters' Meal Festival, is a traditional Miao festival in Laotun and Shidong, Taijiang County, Guizhou Province. It is held from March 15th to 17th in the lunar calendar every year.

At that time, young Miao men and women put on festive costumes and gathered in Rongjiang, Yangjia and Pianzhai to celebrate this traditional festival with national characteristics. The Miao people of all branches in Taijiang County celebrate Sister's Day at different times, mostly from January to May. The most representative and influential sister festival of Taijiang Miao nationality is the sister festival in Shidong area.

On May 20th, 2006, with the approval of the State Council, the Miao Sisters Festival declared by Taijiang County was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

The legend of Miao Sisters' Day mainly comes from Sisters' Day songs, with more than 500 lines. According to legend, there are two children during menstruation, one is called Jiao, and the other is called Jiao. They grew up together and fell in love with each other when they grew up. Then they must marry Jiao, and Jiao must marry at that time, but it was opposed by parents and people.

Jiao's parents want her to marry back to her uncle's house (the old Miao custom is to return the mother's head). Jiao doesn't want to marry back to her uncle's house, but she must marry then; Later, I didn't want to marry anyone else, and I have been waiting for Jiao. For the sake of faithful love, they secretly date every day. I am afraid that my parents and Zhai Lao will find out that they met and fell in love in the wild.

Every time, Jiao used her bamboo basket with needle and thread to secretly hide the rice and take it there. Year after year, after a hard and indomitable struggle, they finally became husband and wife. So there is the allusion of "sister rice", that is, Miao language calls the food brought to lovers "Tibetan rice", which translates into Chinese as "sister".

Later, I don't know how many years passed. It is said that there are 800 girls in Shidong area of Taijiang county who can't get married because they can't find a boyfriend. There are 800 young men in Sanbing Datang who are single because they can't find a wife.

The old people remembered Jiao He's allusion of "Brother-Sister Meal" and taught the girls to invite 800 able-bodied men of the Three Soldiers of Datang to eat "Brother-Sister Meal" through Jiao He's way. In this way, everyone found their own Mr Right, and the couple got married. Since then, eating "sister meals" has evolved into a holiday activity in which young men and women choose lovers as the main content.

Young Miao men and women admire Jiao He's persistence in love, and take them as examples to face difficulties. Sisterhood Day comes from this. According to "Miao Ancient Songs", Sister Festival used to be celebrated in areas where Miao people live in compact communities, but now most of them have been lost, and only Taijiang County still retains this custom completely.
