Introduction of various ethnic groups on March 3

In fact, March 3rd is a traditional festival of many ethnic groups, but the Zhuang ethnic group celebrates it most grandly and mainly. Many other ethnic groups also celebrate the March 3rd festival. Here I will give you a detailed introduction:
Han nationality: March 3rd, formerly known as Shangsi Festival, is said to be the birthday of Huangdi and a festival to commemorate him, so there is a saying that "On February 2nd, the dragon raises its head; on March 3rd, Xuanyuan is born." Among the Han nationality, there is a custom of eating shepherd's purse flowers and boiled eggs, as well as activities such as flowing cups, flowing eggs, flowing dates, begging for children, wearing willow wreaths, visiting spring, outing, eating clear rice, and singing parties. Zhuang nationality: March 3rd is the most grand festival for the Zhuang people. It is said that this festival was created to commemorate Liu Sanjie, the singing fairy of the Zhuang nationality, so it is also called the Singing Fairy Festival. On March 3rd, the Zhuang people will set up singing tents and hold singing parties, where young men and women sing songs, tap eggs, throw embroidered balls, and talk about love. Another thing not to be missed is the bamboo pole dance, which is very unique. She ethnic group: The She ethnic group regards March 3rd as the birthday of rice, so every family eats black rice. On this day, every family slaughters animals and offers sacrifices to their ancestors. Many families often choose this day to hold their wedding. Eat black rice during festivals. When night falls, a bonfire party is held and people compete in singing. There is also a legend that it was built to commemorate the She ethnic hero Lei Wanxing. Lei Wanxing led people of all ethnic groups in an uprising. During a battle, they were trapped on the mountain. Since they had no food, they ate "Wunanzi" to fill their stomach. Later, on the third day of March, they broke out of the encirclement and turned defeat into victory. Therefore, in order to commemorate these She heroes, the She people eat "Wunan rice" as a commemoration on the third day of March every year. Li people: For the Li people, March 3rd is a traditional picnic festival. According to legend, during the flood period, Tianfei and her sister Guanyin wandered in the Wuzhi Mountain area and survived. In order to continue the family line, the sister tattooed patterns on her face so that her brother could not be recognized. They became a couple, had children, and worked hard to make Wuzhi Mountain prosperous. Since then, every March 3rd, Li youths bring bamboo tubes of fragrant rice and colorful umbrellas to the Wuzhi Mountain to welcome the spring. Buyi Nationality: In order to protect their crops and strive for a good harvest, the Buyi Nationality uses fried corn flowers as offerings on the third day of March every year. They go to nearby hillsides in groups of three or five to worship the "God of Heaven and Silkworm of Earth", praying to the God of Heaven to protect them and prevent the silkworms from killing the crops in the fields, so that the crops will be abundant. Miao: For the Miao people, "March 3rd" is also known as the "Onion Picking Festival", which evolved from the ancient love festival for young men and women of the Miao people. On this day of March 3rd, men and women gather together on the hillside in the name of digging wild onions to show their love to each other, talking and singing Miao songs while digging wild onions. This custom has continued to this day. Dong Nationality: On the third day of March every year, the Dong people play the reed pipe and sing, visit relatives and friends, and remind each other to busy themselves with farming. The Dong people often hold activities such as grabbing fireworks, bullfighting, horse fighting, singing, and stepping on the hall during the festival, which is also called the "Fireworks and Firecrackers Festival." On this day, the girls would gather under the Moga tree and wait for the boys they liked to ask for the basket. If they liked each other, the boys would arrange a date for the basket to be returned, so this day was also a very lively day. Yao people: For the Yao people, "March 3rd" is also known as the "Ganba Festival". Before "March 3rd" every year, Yao men go to the old forest a week in advance to hunt and kill wild animals, roast them into dried meat and bring them back home. Women went up the mountain to pick indigo leaves and other natural dyes, boiled them in water and dyed them into glutinous rice in four colors: red, yellow, blue and purple. This tradition was passed down year after year to this day. In addition, the Yao people also have a singing festival on March 3rd. In addition to singing preface songs, tea songs, and dispersion songs, they also sing songs of complaining and songs of thanking the immortals.
The above is the specific information about the various ethnic groups on March 3rd. I hope it can help everyone.
