The Fortune Teller website has compiled detailed information for you about the third month of the lunar calendar in 2018!Introduction to March 3rd Festival and ActivitiesMarch 3rd in Guangxi is actually a traditional singing festival of the Zhuang people. And not only March 3rd, but also April 8th, August 15th, etc. are also singing festivals of the Zhuang people, but March 3rd is more grand. March 3rd, also known as the "March 3rd Song Festival" or "March Song Fair", is a day when every Zhuang household will make five-colored glutinous rice and dye colored eggs to celebrate the festival. The singing festival usually lasts about three days. During this time, everyone, whether they know each other or not, can come here to sing. Most of the singers are young unmarried men and women. People go to the singing festival to compete and appreciate singing, and unmarried men and women can also choose their ideal partner through singing. If both parties are in love, they will give each other tokens of love. In addition, there are also activities such as throwing embroidered balls and touching Easter eggs. The activity of throwing hydrangeas is mainly created for the girls of the Zhuang ethnic group. The hydrangeas can be used as entertainment as well as a token of love for the girls. When a girl takes a fancy to a boy, she throws the bouquet to him, and in this way, the relationship between the two is confirmed. As for touching the Easter eggs, it also has the meaning of affirming love, but more importantly, it is for entertaining each other.The legend of Guangxi March 3rdAccording to legend, the March 3rd festival in Guangxi is mainly to commemorate a man named Wei Dagui. This Wei Dagui was a subordinate of a local emperor at that time and was also a member of the Zhuang ethnic group. For the sake of a better life for the Zhuang people, he offended the emperor, which made the emperor resentful. He repeatedly tried to kill Wei Dagui, but since he could not find the reason, he could only frame him to kill him. However, Wei Dagui was very knowledgeable and he broke the emperor's traps many times, which made the emperor so angry that he turned against him. Although he managed to escape at first under the cover of the Zhuang people, he was later caught up by the pursuers and burned to death in the mountains. That day happened to be March 3rd, so in order to commemorate Wei Dagui, the Zhuang people would set up a shed on March 3rd, place offerings such as five-color glutinous rice to sacrifice to Dagui's soul, and sing heroic songs praising and thanking Dagui around the shed. This custom has been passed down from generation to generation, and now it has formed the custom of the Guangxi March 3rd Singing Festival. |
