Shangsi Festival, commonly known as March 3rd.Shangsi Festival was the most important festival in the ancient "purification and bathing" activities. People went to the waterside to bathe in groups, which was called "purification". Later, sacrificial banquets, winding stream flowing wine cups, and spring outings in the suburbs were added. In ancient times, days were recorded using the "ganzhi" system. The first Si day in early March was called "Shangsi". The term "Shangsi" first appeared in Han Dynasty documents. Zheng Xuan's commentary on "Zhou Li" reads: "It is a ritual for purifying the body at the end of the year. Nowadays, Shangsi in March is like the water festival." After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Shangsi Festival was changed to the third day of the third lunar month, so it is also called "Double Third" or "March 3rd". The main customs of the Shangsi Festival are spring outings in the suburbs, spring bathing, and purification (bathing in the river to pray for blessings and ward off disasters). In ancient times, people would go to the waterside to offer sacrifices every March. Lu Ji of the Jin Dynasty wrote a poem: "It is late spring, the weather is soft and pleasant. On the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, people wash away their dirt and swim in the Yellow River." This is a vivid portrayal of people's purification rituals and outings on the Shangsi Festival at that time, just as the great Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei wrote in his poem: "Young men divide their days into trips, and do not need to celebrate both Qingming and Shangsi Festival." By the Song Dynasty, the Shangsi Festival gradually disappeared and was no longer recorded in any literature.
