The third day of the third lunar month is the folk song festival of the Zhuang, Yao, Dong, Miao, Bai and other ethnic minorities in Guangxi Province.

The third day of the third lunar month is one of the grander traditional festivals for these ethnic minorities, and the most representative activity on this day is the duet singing of folk songs, mostly featuring men and women singing traditional love songs due to each other, so it is called the folk song meeting.

Zhuang: A grand festival comparable to the New Year.

March 3rd is as important as the Spring Festival to the Zhuang people.

Whenever this day comes, every household not only prepares five-color glutinous rice and dyed eggs to celebrate the festival, but also builds a singing studio to attract young men and women from dozens of miles around to participate in the singing party.

Hydrangea, hoping to find a destined person, is surrounded by old people and children who come to join in the fun, vendors gather, and the grand singing festival often lasts for two to three days.

Miao people: Use singing to create love while working.

The Miao people call March 3rd the "Onion Picking Festival". On this day, the industrious Miao young people will gather on the hillside to pick onions and sing folk songs, taking the opportunity to find the right person.

The music floats melodiously on the hillside, shuttling between the young men and women of the Miao ethnic group with smiles as bright as flowers.

Yao people: Use singing to relieve fatigue.

The third day of March for the Yao people is also called the "Ganba Festival". The traditional customs of the Yao people on this day include making oil tea and singing folk songs.

Miao men will go up to the mountains to hunt, fish and shrimp a week in advance, and bake various kinds of dried meat to take home as festival food.

According to legend, there was an immortal who couldn't bear to see the Yao people working hard, so he added a rope to people's poles and backpacks, which lightened people's burden. He also taught the Yao people to sing folk songs, which relieved people's fatigue.

Since then, in order to thank the gods, the Yao people have designated the day when they meet the gods as the Folk Song Festival.

Compared with the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the third day of March is actually more like the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day. On this day, young men and women express their love for each other and spread love through singing, especially for the ethnic minorities in Guangxi Province, such as the Shui people,

The Miao, Mulao, Maonan and other ethnic groups also have their own traditional customs for the March 3rd festival.
