According to legend, this is the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West

In ancient times, people went to the river for a picnic on the third day of the third lunar month every year. Some people put their glasses into slow water and let them flow down, while people waiting not far downstream pick them up from the water and then drink them off. This is called "meandering water flowing". Some put the cooked eggs into the water, and they go down the river like wine glasses. People waiting downstream take the eggs out of the water and then peel them and eat them. This is called "Qushui Float Egg". Some put red dates into the pool, and then pick them up like eggs. This is called "Qushui Floating Crimson Jujube".

The third day of the third lunar month, also known as the "March 3 Song Festival" or "March Song Fair", is a traditional song festival of the Zhuang people. There are many beautiful and moving legends about the origin of Gewei Festival among Zhuang people. ?

In ancient times, there was a pair of lovers, both famous singers, who often sang folk songs to express their mutual affection. However, due to the shackles of feudal ethics, they could not be married, so they both died in despair. People sang in memory of the couple on the third day of March.

second, in the Tang dynasty, there was a singing fairy named "Liu Sanjie" in Zhuang nationality. She is clever, and often praises labor and love with folk songs, exposing the sins of the rich, who hate and fear her. Therefore, on the third day of March of one year, when Liu Sanjie was chopping wood on the mountain, the rich sent someone to cut off the vine, causing her to fall off a cliff and die. In order to commemorate the singer, later generations gathered to sing on the day of Liu Sanjie's death. One singing lasted for three days and three nights, and the song fair was formed. These legends are now difficult to verify, but it is recorded in the book "Taiping Universe" written by Song people: "When the strong people are ripe in the valley, they choose a day to worship the gods, and men and women will make songs at a grand gathering." This shows that the song fair was also very prosperous at that time. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the development of Zhuang folk songs was particularly prominent, and the song fair became a place for cultural entertainment and romance between men and women, and there was a game of throwing hydrangeas. After the woman threw the hydrangea to her beloved man, they both withdrew from the singing field and gave each other tokens of love. By the Qing Dynasty, a large-scale activity was formed in which thousands of people participated.
