Is March 3rd Chinese Valentine's Day?

Yes, March 3rd is also China’s Valentine’s Day.
The Shangsi Festival on March 3rd is China's Valentine's Day, which was recorded in the Book of Songs and is 1,000 years earlier than the Western Valentine's Day. After the Pre-Qin period, March 3rd Valentine's Day was passed down from generation to generation. In the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu's line "The weather is fresh on the third day of March, and there are many beauties by the water in Chang'an" brought the swaying and beautiful style to a climax.
Since the Song Dynasty, Neo-Confucianism has prevailed, etiquette has become increasingly strict, and the custom of March 3rd Valentine's Day has gradually declined in Chinese culture. The romantic love, beautiful visions and elegant fun of drinking wine while drinking on March 3rd have all disappeared. One of the main activities of the Shangsi Festival is the meeting of men and women, which is the "Valentine's Day" for men and women to express their love. The Book of Songs, Zheng Feng, Qin and Wei states: "The Qin and Wei rivers are clear and flowing. The men and women are crowded. The woman said, 'Let's see?' The man said, 'Let's go and see. Beyond the Wei River, it is really joyful. The man and the woman are about to joke, and I give each other a spoon of medicine."
