No.3 reinforced gun
Fireworks grabbing is a popular traditional entertainment activity of Dong, Zhuang and Wa nationalities, which has a history of hundreds of years. It has a long history because of its strong competitiveness, antagonism, entertainment and unique national style.
In the traditional way of grabbing fireworks, the venue is generally on the river beach or hillside, and the number of people is not limited. Only three shots were fired, and everyone grabbed their own guns. Fireworks are a ring with a diameter of about 5 cm, wrapped in red cloth or red silk, and placed on the gun rack (gun feeder). The gun rack is an old-fashioned iron cage filled with gunpowder, which is used to ignite guns. Three flowers were blown into the sky one after another, and when they were brought down, all the people could catch them. According to the folk tradition, everyone who grabs the first gun is prosperous, the second gun is prosperous, and the third gun is prosperous. Therefore, all the people involved in the fireworks are scrambling for the first place, to outdo each other. After the fireworks were finally grabbed, the suona and firecrackers became one. The scene was very lively and spectacular, and the winner became a hero in people's hearts.
This is the custom of "March 3" in the Zhuang lunar calendar.
