In ancient times, young Zhuang men and women gathered on the streets to sing and gathered by the river for feasts. According to Zhuang legend, March 3 is the birthday of Buluotuo, the ancestor of the Zhuang people. The Han nationality celebrates the Shangsi Festival, and there are sayings that "on March 3rd, we worship our ancestors" and "on March 3rd, we worship Xuanyuan". The third day of the third lunar month is not only a traditional Zhuang outing and singing festival, but also an important day for the Zhuang people to worship their ancestors, including Pangu and Buluotuo. It is now a statutory traditional holiday in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and all citizens in the autonomous region have a two-day holiday. It is also a traditional festival for the Zhuang, Han, Yao, Dong, Miao and other ethnic groups in Guangxi. The song festival is not only a grand event for promoting national culture, but also a grand event for national economic exchanges. According to records, the song festival has a history of thousands of years. The development of Zhuang folk songs is particularly prominent, and singing parties are very popular. In ancient times, young men and women gathered on the streets or by the river to feast and sing. By the Qing Dynasty, large-scale "singing festivals" had formed where hundreds or even thousands of people gathered to sing. What are the traditional customs of March 3rd?March 3rd customs: grabbing fireworksOn the third day of the third lunar month and after the autumn harvest, people in some ethnic minority areas of Guangxi will spontaneously organize a firecracker grabbing movement. Each team participating in the firecracker grabbing game has 8 people. The team members rush into the opponent's artillery position by breaking through, blocking, changing direction, and rushing quickly, and scoring by placing the fireworks. The rules are similar to those of Western rugby, so it is called "Oriental rugby". The traditional "firecracker" is an iron ring with a diameter of about 5 cm, wrapped with red cloth or red silk. The competition venue is usually set up on the river bank or hillside. There is no limit on the number of people or the number of teams. Every shot must be grabbed and the game ends after three shots. March 3rd customs: wrapping five-colored glutinous rice Before the festival, every household prepares five-colored glutinous rice and colored eggs. People picked red orchid grass, yellow rice flowers, maple leaves, and purple ivy, and soaked glutinous rice in the juice of these plants to make five colors of glutinous rice: red, yellow, black, purple, and white. According to legend, this food was passed down after being highly appreciated by fairies; some also say it was used to worship the singing fairy Liu Sanjie. Eating this kind of food will make the family prosperous and the body healthy. Easter eggs are items used by young men and women to communicate and express their emotions during singing festivals. March 3rd customs: singing and talking about love The "March 3" singing festival is a good opportunity for young men and women to socialize. Every time there is a singing festival, young men and women from dozens of miles around gather at the festival. The young man sang with the girl he liked under the guidance of the singing teacher. Usually, young men will take the initiative to sing "tour songs" first, observe and look for opponents, and when they meet the right one, they will sing meeting songs and invitation songs. If the woman is interested, she will agree. The young men sang the questioning song again, and they developed friendship with each other, singing love songs and friendship songs. The lyrics are all improvised and spoken out spontaneously. If the girl is satisfied with the man's talent and singing ability, she will quietly give the hydrangea in her arms to her beloved while others are not paying attention. "He" will respond with something like a handkerchief or towel, and then their singing will become even sweeter, and they will get married. March 3rd customs: hydrangeas convey love The hydrangeas at the singing festival are handicrafts made by girls before the festival. The workmanship is very delicate, and each one is a silk handicraft: twelve petals are connected into a round sphere, and each petal represents a month of the year and is embroidered with the flower of that month. Some hydrangeas are made in square, polygonal shapes, etc. The hydrangea is filled with bean, millet or cotton seeds. The ball is connected to a silk ribbon with silk tassels and decorative beads hanging down, symbolizing pure love. March 3rd customs: Beating the carrying pole Carrying a shoulder pole is a traditional self-entertainment activity. Every Zhuang family member is an actor in "Dazhetang". Women's movements are light and graceful, while men's movements are vigorous and powerful. "Dazhetang" for self-entertainment carries the Zhuang people's wish for a good harvest. The dance forms of carrying a shoulder pole include various sets such as couple dance, four-person dance and multi-person dance. There are usually even numbers of dancers. The performers hold carrying poles in their hands and gather around a bench or rice pounding trough, rhythmically beating the bench or bumping the carrying poles against each other. March 3rd customs: playing bronze drums Some ethnic minorities in Guangxi have always had the habit of beating bronze drums during festivals, celebrations or sacrifices, and this custom has been passed down to this day. Now the Zhuang people in Donglan, Tian'e and other places celebrate the "March 3" and the Spring Festival every year, the Yao people in Du'an, Bama, Dahua and other places celebrate the Zhu Festival, the Nandan Yao people hold funerals and sacrifices, and the Nandan Zhongbao Miao people celebrate the Spring Festival or encounter festive occasions by beating bronze drums to express their congratulations or condolences. March 3rd customs: touching the easter eggs Easter eggs are boiled eggs dyed in different colors to express love. During the singing festival, a young man would hold a colored egg and try to touch the colored egg in the girl's hand; if the girl didn't want to, she would hold the egg and not let the boy touch it; if she was willing, she would let the boy touch it. After the egg cracked, the two people ate the Easter egg together, which sowed the seeds of love. Nowadays, touching the Easter eggs has the meaning of "touch, touch, touch for good luck".
