The origin of singing folk songs on March 3rd

March Three Songs Festival is a traditional festival of the Zhuang ethnic group.

Also known as March Song Fair.

Guangxi is known as the "Sea of ??Songs". The Zhuang people hold regular folk song gatherings several times every year, among which the third day of the third lunar month is the grandest.

On this day, every household makes five-color glutinous rice and dyes red eggs to celebrate the festival, which sometimes lasts for two or three days.

Song festivals in various places have specific gathering venues.

Generally, it is a sloping land.

Some people built singing booths with bamboo and cloth to receive singers from other villages.

In order to carry forward the national culture, the People's Government of the Autonomous Region organized the "March 3" Song Festival in 1984. Singers from all over Guangxi gathered in Nanning. Brotherly ethnic groups across the country, compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao, and foreign friends also came to visit. The event was unprecedented.

The third day of the third lunar month is a traditional festival for many ethnic groups in China, among which the Zhuang, Miao and Yao ethnic groups are the typical ones. In ancient times, young men and women of the Zhuang ethnic group gathered in the streets to sing songs and gathered by the river to have banquets.

In Zhuang legends, March 3rd is the birthday of Buluotuo, the ancestor of the Zhuang people.

The Han people celebrate the Shangsi Festival, which includes worshiping ancestors on March 3rd, worshiping Xuanyuan on March 3rd, and worshiping Chiyou on March 3rd.
