During the festival, people cook and dye glutinous rice with maple leaves, yellow flowers and March flowers as a memorial to Liu Sanjie and eat it by themselves. It is said that eating this can flourish like flowers and trees.

In ancient times, people bathed by the river on this day, aiming at hygiene and health care. Later, it evolved into a festival of drinking by the water and having a spring outing in the suburbs.
