What is the Shangsi Festival?

Shangsi Festival, commonly known as March 3rd, is a traditional Chinese folk festival. 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 word "Shangsi" first appeared in the literature of the early Han Dynasty. Zheng Xuan's note in "The Book of Zhou" reads: "The annual purification ceremony is like the Shangsi Festival in March, such as on the water." After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the festival date of Shangsi Festival was changed to the third day of the third lunar month, so it is also called "Double Third" or "March 3rd".
