The third day of the third lunar month is a traditional festival of many ethnic groups in China, with the Zhuang nationality as a typical example. In ancient times, young men and women of the Zhuang nationality gathered in the streets to sing songs and gather at the riverside for a banquet.
The third day of the third lunar month is not only a simple traditional song festival for the Zhuang people, but also an important day for the Zhuang people to worship their ancestors and ancestors of Pangu and Buluotuo. Now as a legal traditional holiday in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, all citizens in this autonomous region have a holiday of 2 days.

Origin of the March 3rd Festival:
It is said that Sanjie Liu was born in the Tang Dynasty in a fisherman's home in Yishan, Guangxi. I love singing folk songs since I was a child, but I look beautiful when I grow up, and I export them into songs. There was a rich man nearby, Mo Huairen, who wanted to rob Liu Sanjie to marry him. Liu Sanjie vowed to die, and Mo Huairen had Liu Sanjie thrown into the river.
Liu Sanjie drifted to Liuzhou along the river. Fortunately, she was rescued and lived at the foot of Yufeng Mountain. When the villagers heard the news, they rushed to learn songs. Later, she married a young hunter and has been preaching songs here.
When Mo Huairen learned about it, he colluded with the government and threw Liu Sanjie and his wife into Xiaolongtan at the foot of Yufeng Mountain. In the middle of the night, the moon star was scarce. When the villagers fished them up, there was a sudden breeze. I saw Sanjie Liu and the young hunter riding on the back of a fish, singing and flying away. Since then, people have said that Sanjie Liu has become an immortal, so they called Sanjie Liu a singing fairy.
In order to commemorate the singer, later generations sang folk songs for three days and three nights on the third day of the third lunar month, the day when Liu Sanjie became immortal, and the song fair was formed.
