The Zhuang people in Guangxi are famous for being good at singing. March 3rd of the lunar calendar is also known as the "March 3rd Song Festival" or "March 3rd Song Fair". It is a traditional song festival of the Zhuang people. The Zhuang people have several regular folk song gatherings every year, such as the 15th of the first lunar month, the 3rd of March, the 8th of April, the 15th of August, etc., among which March 3rd is the most solemn.

As for the origin of the Song Fair Festival, there are many beautiful and moving legends among the Zhuang people. It is said that in ancient times there was a pair of lovers, both famous singers, who often sang folk songs to express their love for each other. However, due to the constraints of feudal ethics, they could not get married, so they both died in love in despair. In order to commemorate the couple, people sang songs in mourning on the third day of March.

Secondly, in the Tang Dynasty, the Zhuang people had a singing fairy named "Liu Sanjie". She was extremely smart and often used folk songs to praise labor and love and expose the sins of the rich. The rich hated and feared her, so on the third day of March one year, when Liu Sanjie was chopping firewood in the mountains, the rich sent people to cut off the wood. The mountain vine caused her to fall off a cliff and die. In order to commemorate this singer, later generations gathered to sing on the day when Sanjie Liu was killed. The 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 "Taiping Huanyu Ji" written by the Song Dynasty: "When the grain is ripe, the strong people choose a day to worship the gods, and the men and women gather to compose songs." This shows that The singing fair was also very prosperous at that time. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the development of Zhuang folk songs was particularly prominent. Song fairs also became a place for cultural entertainment and lovemaking between men and women, and the game of throwing embroidered balls appeared. After the woman threw the hydrangea to her beloved man, they both left the singing venue and gave each other tokens of love. By the Qing Dynasty, it had become a large-scale event attended by thousands of people. According to the "Overview of Counties in Guangxi" compiled in 1934, there were 26 counties in Guangxi with song fair activities at that time, almost all over Guangxi.

On this day of the Gewei Festival, every household makes five-color glutinous rice and dyes colored eggs to celebrate the festival. The song festival usually lasts for two or three days at a time and is held in an open space not far from the village. A singing booth is set up with bamboo and cloth to receive singers from other villages. The main body of the antiphon is unmarried young men and women, but the elderly and children come to watch and enjoy. A small song fair has one or two thousand people, and a large song fair can have tens of thousands of people. Next to the song fair, vendors gather and private trade is active. The people nearby provide accommodation and food for those who come to the festival, and they all receive them warmly regardless of whether they are acquaintances or not. It was a large singing fair, and young men and women from dozens of miles around came to participate. There were huge crowds of people, singing one after another, and it was really lively. Pangang Riverside in Bama, Mianshan in Du'an, Qiaoye in Tianyang, Xiajian in Yishan, and Yufeng Mountain in Liuzhou are all historically larger song fairs. People go to the song fair to compete and enjoy songs; young men and women sing to each other. If they are in love, they give each other tokens to confirm their love. In addition, there are also interesting activities such as throwing hydrangeas and touching Easter eggs. Throwing embroidered balls is mainly for entertainment and also as a token of love. When a girl likes a young man, she throws the hydrangea to him. Bumping Easter eggs is a way to entertain each other and also means to confirm love
