What day is March 13?

On the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, it was called "Shangsi Day" in ancient times. It was a day for the ancients to go out for an outing, and it was also a good opportunity for men and women to meet in the wild and express their love last year. In ancient times, there were three very important festivals in March. Du Fu's two poems for the road in the Tang Dynasty described the grand occasion of this festival: on the third day of March, the weather was fresh and many beautiful women were walking along the Chang 'an seaside. Unfortunately, after the Song Dynasty, the ethical code became more and more strict, and private meetings between men and women were not allowed. This festival is gradually fading away and finally forgotten by people. The outing was also changed to Qingming. Fortunately, however, the ethnic minorities in the southwest still maintain the holiday custom of March 3. On this day, all the Hezu men and women dressed up to go out and hold a song party, quite like the Tang Dynasty. "March 3rd" is the biggest festival of Li nationality. Every year on the third day of the third lunar month, all counties, towns, townships and villages will hold grand celebrations. The venue is generally located in an open rubber forest, with green leaves covering the sky and a "carpet" at the foot, which is quiet, cool and quiet. No wonder "March 3" has become the freedom of local people to choose their spouses, and it is called "love plot". Legend has it that in ancient times, Li people living in Changhua River suffered a big flood. Only a couple survived in a ladle and were drifted to the edge of the Bird's Nest Mountain. On the third day of March, the flood receded and they got married. Men plow and women weave, have children, care for each other and work hard, which gradually makes the Li nationality multiply and develop. Later generations regard them as ancestors and solemnly commemorate them on March 3 every year. In festivals, men, women and children are dressed up and eating cakes and zongzi. Boys fish, girls cook and fish, and then sacrifice the cave with Tianfei and Guanyin fossils. After the sacrifice, young people came to the activity venue to shoot arrows, climb poles, wrestle, tug-of-war and swing. As night fell, a bonfire was lit on the shore, the boys spread their flower umbrellas, and the girls' silver ornaments and shell ornaments flashed in the firelight. Young men and women will drink, sing and dance until late at night. Love songs are euphemistic, and the dance gradually rises, from gentle lyricism to unrestrained joy. Sometimes couples leave the bonfire quietly. The young man hung the ear bell on the girl's ear, inserted the hairpin made of deer bone into the aunt's bun, and the girl tied her carefully woven colorful belt around her lover's waist. The two sides vowed to meet on March 3 next year. Because March 3 is related to marriage and love in terms of its origin and main activities, it is also called love plot. March 3rd Song Festival is a traditional festival of Zhuang nationality. Also known as the March Song Festival. Guangxi is known as the "sea of songs", and the Zhuang people have several regular folk song gatherings every year, among which the third day of the third lunar month is grand. On this day, every household cooks colorful glutinous rice and dyes red eggs to celebrate festivals, some of which last for two or three days. There are specific venues for local song concerts. Generally, it is a slope. Some people use bamboo and cloth to build a karaoke room to receive singers from other villages. The participants are mainly unmarried young men and women, and the elderly and children also come to entertain. Around Xu Ge, vendors gather and folk trade is active. Thousands of men, women and children came from dozens of miles away in Fiona Fang to attend a larger concert, with a sea of people, singing one after another and being very lively. Famous song concerts include Panyang River in Bama, Mianshan in Du 'an, Qiao Ye in Tian Yang, Yang Yan in Tiandong, Xia Jian in Yishan and Yufeng Mountain in Liuzhou. People go to song parties to compete and enjoy songs; There is a song friendship between young men and women, and people who love each other will give each other tokens as tokens of love. In addition, there are recreational activities such as throwing hydrangeas, touching eggs and performing Zhuang opera. The Song Festival is not only a grand gathering of national culture, but also a grand gathering of national economic exchanges.
