It is said that there was a pair of lovers in ancient times who often sang folk songs to express their love. However, due to the constraints of feudal ethics, the two could not get married, so they both committed suicide for love. In order to commemorate the couple, people sang songs to express their condolences on the third day of March. The most popular legend is about Liu Sanjie: The Zhuang singing fairy "Liu Sanjie" often used folk songs to praise labor and love and expose the crimes of the rich. On the third day of March one year, when Liu Sanjie was chopping wood in the mountains, the rich man sent people to cut the mountain vines, causing her to fall off a cliff and die. In order to commemorate this singing fairy, later generations gathered and sang on this day for three days and three nights, and thus the singing festival was formed.
