Why do Buyi people call "March 3rd" a traditional festival?

1. The Buyi people have a traditional festival called March 3rd, which is the third day of the solar calendar. It can be said that this festival is a part of Buyi traditional culture and a very common local festival. Moreover, there are some differences in the source and content of festivals according to different places of residence. Some places call this festival silkworm festival.

Secondly, it is said that there was a farmer in ancient times who found that many silkworms died after the spring of one year. After repeated observation, he thought that silkworm was a "heavenly horse" put by God on the ground. He made sacrifices in many ways to avoid Oda's insects. Later, when sowing in spring, he fried the glutinous rice flowers and fed them to silkworms, which saved the seedlings. The news soon reached Buyi's house in the distance. Since then, Buyi people have sought a bumper harvest in this area to protect crops.

Third, on the third and third day of each year, they don't take sand grass flowers as offerings, but worship the "wild silkworm" near the mountain. God bless, don't ask silkworms to bite the seedlings in the field, so that the grain will be abundant. After the sacrifice, people walked along the ridge, sang folk songs and scattered flowers from the valley to the fields. It is believed that offering sacrifices to silkworms can confuse silkworms, seal their mouths and protect the seedlings in the fields from pests.

4. Later, March 3rd was designated as "Song Club", which was called "Song Club" by Buyi people in the southern suburbs of Guiyang. The content of the festival is almost the same as that of the new towns in Wudang District, except that they sing songs to pray for blessings and avoid disasters. Legends sing the most beautiful songs. No matter where you work, you will hear this song. When he hears the sound, the pests won't hurt the crops.

The traditional culture of Buyi nationality is very colorful. It can be said that these traditional cultures have also enriched the spiritual life of Buyi people.
