The third day of the third lunar month, also known as Shangsi Festival, is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, with Han, Zhuang, Miao and Yao as typical examples. March 3 is still a grand festival in some minority areas in southwest China. The following is what I have compiled about the origin of March 3 of the She nationality. Welcome to refer to!
The origin of March 3
The third day of the third lunar month is a traditional festival for many ethnic groups in China, among which the Zhuang nationality is a typical one. In ancient times, young men and women of Zhuang nationality gathered in the street to sing and held banquets by the river. According to Zhuang legend, March 3rd is the birthday of Buluotuo, the ancestor of Zhuang nationality, and the Han people celebrate Shangsi Festival. March 3 is still a grand festival in some minority areas in southwest China. In the Central Plains of northern China, there is also a "February 2, the dragon looks up; On March 3rd, XuanYuanSheng ".
March 3rd can be postponed until Fu Ji. Fuxi and his sister, Nu Wa, unearthed human beings to reproduce. In eastern Henan, Fuxi is honored as the "ancestor", and the ancient temple of Taihaoling was built in Huaiyang (the capital of Fuxi). From February 2nd to March 3rd of the lunar calendar, the Temple Fair of Taihaoling was held. Good men and women all gathered in the mausoleum area to worship their ancestors.
The third day of the third lunar month is also the day when the legendary Queen Mother opens a flat peach party. There is a seven-character poem in Dumen Zayong in the late Qing Dynasty, which describes the grand occasion of the temple fair in that year: "Born in spring on the third day of March, watch the Flat Peach Palace burn incense; The wind rises slightly along the river and the red dust is everywhere. " Legend has it that the Queen Mother of the West was originally the patron saint of a primitive tribe in western China. She has two magic weapons: one is to take the elixir of life, and the other is to eat peaches-flat peaches, which can prolong life. The legendary Chang 'e flew to the Moon Palace after stealing the elixir from her husband Hou Yi. Since then, in some strange novels, the Queen Mother of the West has been described as the god of longevity.
The third day of the third lunar month is also the birthday of the Taoist Zhenwu Emperor. Zhenwu Emperor's full name is "Beizhen Naive Takeda Xuan Emperor", also known as Tian Xuan God, Xuanwu, Zhenwu Zhenjun. Hua Li was born in the ancient Xuanyuan world on March 3, and is the orthodox god in charge of military affairs and wars in Taoism. Taoist temples in various places (such as Wudang Mountain in Hubei, Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, Yun Qi in Anhui and Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan) will hold a grand ceremony on March 3, and Taoist believers will also burn incense and pray in temples or recite scriptures at home. The Monument to Zhenwushan Zhenwushan gives a concise and artistic explanation of the origin of Zhenwu, the main Zhenwu Dojo in China and the "benevolence" of Zhenwu's "saving the army". It explains the reason and significance of people commemorating Zhenwu Emperor on March 3rd.
In ancient times, the third day of March was regarded as "thinking", and the Han Dynasty was designated as a festival. "Today is the third day of the month, and the officials and the people are all on the east running water (clean). It is called "removing dirt (disease)" (Book of Rites). Later, water banquets and outings were added. In the evening, every household sets off firecrackers and blows ghosts in every room of the house. It is said that ghosts haunt everywhere on this day.
The third day of the third month of the lunar calendar is also a day for spiritual people, such as witches and gods, to entertain ghosts and gods. On this day, psychics often get together to celebrate and hold banquets for ghosts and gods to thank them for their magical power.
Legend of She nationality on March 3rd.
Legend has it that a long time ago, perhaps because of poor maturity or excessive exploitation in feudal society, the She nationality had no food, and even the grain seeds were taken away by the mountain owners. When sowing in spring, the She people who have no seeds are very anxious. At this time, a young man named Lan Tianfeng, with several young men, took advantage of the night to steal millet from the owner's granary, distributed it to the masses, and scattered it in the fields overnight. The owner of the mountain pursued the matter. In order not to bring trouble to others, Lan Tianfeng stepped forward and was put into a dungeon by the mountain owner. It was the third day of the third lunar month, and Tianfeng was beaten black and blue, dying, and had no food. The villagers made the rest of the grain into rice balls and took them to Tianfeng when they visited the prison. But the rice ball was eaten by the guards. The villagers then came up with a way to cook with black barnyard grass leaves. The dark rice ball frightened the guards and Tianfeng survived. On March 3 of the following year, Lan Tianfeng was rescued by the rebellious villagers and elected him as the leader of the rebel army. Later, in order to leave a hard-won impression of Gu Mi for future generations, the She people designated "March 3rd" as Gu Mi's birthday, which became Gu Mi Festival, also known as "Ebony Festival".
In addition, there is a story of "March 3rd" among the people in She Township. According to legend, in the early Tang Dynasty, Lei Wanxing, the leader of Shanyue (the ancestor of She nationality), and his compatriot Lan Fenggao rose up against the feudal rulers, and the struggle lasted for more than forty years. One winter, they were trapped in the mountains by Tang Jun, with no food and no reinforcements outside. They survived hunger and cold by eating a kind of "black barnyard grass" Finally, on March 3 of the following year, he rushed out of the tight encirclement and defeated the imperial army to win. Later, in order not to forget the achievements of these heroes and black barnacles, the She people took March 3rd as their traditional festival. On this day, every household will collect black barnyard grass leaves or juice and cook them with glutinous rice to sacrifice their ancestors, then taste them together and sing happily as a souvenir.
Nowadays, with the continuous development and progress of society, the She nationality has gradually changed from eating black rice on the third day of the third lunar month to enjoying flowers, singing folk songs, drinking mountain wine and tasting bamboo shoots in her hometown, and often holds a series of lively song and dance and competitive performances such as torch dance, bamboo pole dance, fish lantern dance or rock drilling, dragon boat race and driving wild animals.
The story of the She nationality on March 3rd.
"Your father grew up on a plate, so you should be called Pan!" "Your father used to live in baskets, so your surname is' blue'!" "It thundered when your father left, so your surname is' Lei'!" "Your name is dragon, and your children will follow their husbands' names in the future. " ……

The origin of March 3 in Guangxi
Statement 1: According to ancient legends, singing can entertain the spirit, eliminate disasters and difficulties, and achieve good weather. Later, it developed into a regular song meeting on March 3.
Statement 2: A long time ago, there was a young man and a young woman who loved each other since childhood. They are very good at singing folk songs, and their love is expressed by folk songs. However, due to family opposition, the two could not get married, so they both fell in love. In order to commemorate this loyal couple, young people focus on singing folk songs every year on the day of their double suicide, and gradually formed the March 3 rd Song Festival.
Statement 3: In the Tang Dynasty, there was a fairy named Liu Sanjie who sang folk songs praising labor and love and exposed the sins of the rich. As a result, the rich people held a grudge, and when she went up the mountain to cut firewood, she sent someone to cut off the vines, causing Third Sister to fall to the mountain and die. In order to commemorate this fairy, later generations sang folk songs for three days and three nights on the third day of the third lunar month, that is, the day when Third Sister died, and the song meeting was formed.
Statement 4: In ancient times, a family had three beautiful daughters, and people came to propose marriage in an endless stream, but their parents didn't like it. Later, my father thought of an idea-let the descendants who proposed to me sing on the spot, and whoever sings best will marry a beautiful daughter. As a result, all three daughters found suitable husbands through singing. Since then, singing has become a form of male courtship and has developed into a market.
