Second, the legend of March 3

According to legend, in the ancient Zhuang township, a migrant worker gave birth to three beautiful daughters. The eldest daughter and the second daughter are both married to the son of a big family, but only the third daughter named Li Mei is unmarried. She is smart, good at singing and dancing, kind-hearted and often gives alms behind her family's back. /kloc-when she was 0/8 years old, despite the endless stream of rich officials who pursued her, she refused one by one, which made her parents break their brains.

It turns out that Li Mei already has a sweetheart. He is the son of a poor family in this village, and the villagers call him Brother A Qiang. Although A Qiang was born in poverty, he is kind-hearted and often does good for the poor. No matter who is too busy with farm work, he always takes time out to help. He has nothing to eat at home and a blind date, so he is loved by everyone. A Qiang is smart, too. Although he doesn't read many scriptures, he can write them down.

Especially when singing poems and folk songs, you can feel the emotion and improvise. Although Li Mei read more scriptures and holy books than she did, she still worshipped him as a teacher. When A Qiang saw that Li Mei was modest and studious, he always regarded her as his sister and often discussed poetry and prose together. In late February of this year, a folk song competition was held in Zhuangxiang. Both Li Mei and A Qiang signed up for the competition. Listening to their duet, everyone was fascinated and lingering. As a result, both of them won the first gold medal. Through this competition, Li Mei got a deeper understanding of A Qiang, especially admired his brilliant, ready-made and ready-made singing skills and helpful personality, which led to her admiration.

After everyone left, Li Mei deliberately stayed, confided her love to A Qiang and vowed: "If A Qiang doesn't marry her, she will never marry." A Qiang was very happy to hear her words, but thinking about his own life, he declined shyly, saying, "I was born in a poor family, and I'm afraid your parents wouldn't agree to this marriage." Li Mei hugged him tightly and told him, "No way, as long as you visit your relatives, they will agree." Li Mei's pursuit of A Qiang's brother's blind date is well known. They all expressed their willingness to donate a bride price for A Qiang, as long as their families are merciful.

Late one night, Li Mei jumped out of the window to find A Qiang's brother. Just as they poured out their hearts to each other, W broke in and forcibly took Li Mei back. Li Mei sobbed and begged her parents to fulfill her marriage with A Qiang. A Qiang's family is poor, but with his wisdom and hard-working hands, he will live a good life.

But stubborn parents still don't agree with her plea. Seeing that infatuated Li Mei could not marry A Qiang, she was disheartened and had suicidal thoughts. After the parents went to sleep, they left a suicide note and hanged themselves. The maid outside woke up in the dim light and heard an abnormal sound in the boudoir. She was stunned when she opened the door. Li Mei has committed suicide.

She desperately called for help, and suddenly, family members burst into tears. They read the suicide note and regretted interfering with their daughter's freedom of marriage. When the blind date heard the crying, she learned that Li Mei died angrily for resisting her parents' interference in the freedom of marriage. She expressed deep sympathy for her and was extremely angry with her family members.

Besides, A Qiang can't propose at W's house. When I got home, I didn't think about tea and rice, and I fell on the bed. No matter what his parents call him, he just keeps quiet. When the news of Li Mei's double suicide came, it was undoubtedly a major spiritual blow to A Qiang. His mind is buzzing, thinking that he can't get married in this life, but he will get married in the underworld after death. Thought of here, he got up and walked out of the house, three steps and two steps, and went outside the member's home. He jumped on Li Mei with a "wow". Just then, he suddenly got up and ran into a beam. He was also a double suicide.

It was the third day of the third lunar month, and the blind date met the good son and daughter of Zhuangxiang, both of whom were double martyrs. They were all sad, sobbing and crying. Some even sang folk songs praising their unswerving love, which lasted for three days and nights before being buried grandly three days later. To commemorate them, on March 3rd every year, people steamed glutinous rice, brought chicken, duck and fish, went up the mountain to sweep the grave and sang together, thus forming a song fair.
