Shangsi Festival, commonly known as March 3rd, is a traditional Chinese folk festival.
In ancient times, people would go to the waterside to offer sacrifices every March. The quote "bathing in the Yi River, enjoying the breeze in the Wu Yu Temple, and singing on the way home" in The Analects of Confucius refers to the Shangsi custom. In ancient times, days were recorded using the "ganzhi" system. The first Si day in early March was called "Shangsi". After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Shangsi Festival was changed to March 3rd. It is the first "Si day" in the third month of the lunar calendar, so it is also known as San Si and Yuan Si.
3. Mazu’s birthday is March 23, 2019 (lunar calendar)
Taurus, Saturday, April 27, 2019 (Gregorian calendar)
The 23rd day of the third lunar month is the birthday of Mazu, the water goddess worshipped by residents along the southeastern coastal areas of China. Mazu, also known as Tianfei, Tianhou, Heavenly Mother and Niangma, is a deity worshipped by boatmen, seamen, travelers, merchants and fishermen throughout the ages. In ancient times, sailing on the sea was often attacked by wind and waves, resulting in shipwrecks and deaths. The safety of crew members became the main problem for sailors, and they placed their hopes on the protection of gods. Before a ship sets sail, it is necessary to offer sacrifices to the Goddess of Heaven and pray for favorable winds and safety. An altar for the Goddess of Heaven is also set up on the ship for worship. Mazu, the Queen of Heaven and the Holy Mother of Heaven, whose real name was Lin Mo, was born on March 23rd in the first year of the Jianlong reign of the Song Dynasty (960 AD). He died on September 9, 987, the fourth year of the Yongxi reign of Emperor Taizong of Song.
4. Miao Sisters’ Day is on March 15, 2019 (Lunar Calendar)
Aries (Friday, April 19, 2019)
The 15th day of the third lunar month every year is the "Sisters' Day" for Miao women in my country. On this day, girls and women eat colorful "sister meals" and give them to each other as gifts to show good luck. "Sister Rice" is made by soaking glutinous rice in various colors using wild flowers and leaves collected by the girls in the mountains and then steaming it. On Sisters' Day, girls can give their loved ones the "sisters' meals" they make. The festival also features lively bullfighting scenes, Miao song competitions, drum-stepping, Lusheng dancing, silver jewelry and clothing shows, and “traveling around” and other activities. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
