Legend of March 3rd:
According to legend, in the ancient Zhuang township, a foreign worker gave birth to three beautiful daughters. The eldest daughter and the second daughter were married to the sons of a large family, but only the third daughter named Limei was not married. She is clever, capable of poetry and song, kind-hearted, and often gives charity behind her family's back. At the age of 18, despite the endless stream of rich officials who pursued her, she refused them one by one, which made her parents hurt their brains.
It turns out that Li Mei already has a sweetheart. He is the son of a poor family in this village, and the villagers call him Brother A Qiang. Although A Qiang was born in a poor family, he was kind-hearted, and often did good deeds for the poor. No matter whose farm work was too busy, he always found time to help. What was delicious in his family was indispensable to the villagers, so he got everyone's love. A Qiang is also very clever. Although he didn't read many scriptures, he was able to write them down. In particular, singing poems and folk songs can touch the scene and improvise. Although Li Mei reads more scriptures and holy books than he does, she still worships him as a teacher. When A Qiang saw that Li Mei was modest and studious, she always regarded her as her own sister, and often discussed poetry and prose together. In late February of this year, a folk song competition was held in Zhuangxiang, and Li Mei and A Qiang all signed up for the competition. Listening to their duet, everyone was fascinated and lingering. As a result, both of them won the first gold medal. Through this competition, Li Mei got a better understanding of A Qiang, especially deeply admired his brilliant, ready-made and ready-made singing and helpful character, which led to her admiration. After everyone left, Li Mei deliberately stayed, confided her love to A Qiang affectionately, and vowed: "If A Qiang doesn't marry her, she will never marry." A Qiang was very happy with her words, but thinking of his own life, he shyly declined and said, "I was born in poverty, and I'm afraid your parents won't agree to this marriage." Li Mei hugged him tightly and told him, "No way, as long as you visit your relatives, they will agree." Li Mei's pursuit of A Qiang's elder brother's blind date is known to all, and they all say they are willing to donate a bride price for A Qiang, as long as their family members have mercy.
One late at night, Li Mei jumped out of the window to find A Qiang's brother. Just as they were pouring out their hearts to each other, W assumed to break in and forcibly took Li Mei back. Li Mei sobbed and prayed for her parents to fulfill her marriage with A Qiang. A Qiang's family is poor, but with his wisdom and hard-working hands, he will have a good life. But stubborn parents still don't agree with her plea. Seeing that infatuated Li Mei can't marry A Qiang, she is disheartened and has the idea of suicide. After the parents dispersed to sleep, they left a suicide note and hanged themselves. The maid outside the door woke up in the dim light and heard something abnormal in the boudoir. When she opened the door, she was shocked. Li Mei had committed suicide. She desperately called for help, and suddenly, a member of the family wailed. They looked at the suicide note and regretted interfering with their daughter's freedom of marriage. When the villagers heard the crying, they knew that Li Mei had died in anger to resist her parents' interference in freedom of marriage, and they were deeply sympathetic to her and extremely indignant at the members of the family.
Besides, A Qiang couldn't propose from W's home. When he got home, he didn't think about tea and rice, and he fell on the bed. No matter how his parents called him, he just didn't make a sound. When the bad news of Li Mei's double suicide came, it was undoubtedly a major spiritual blow to A Qiang. His mind was buzzing, and he thought that he could not be married in life, but he would be married in the underworld after he died. Thought of here, he got up and walked out of the house, three steps and two steps, and went to the home outside the member. He jumped on Li Mei's body with a sound of "wow". Just then, he suddenly got up and bumped into the beam and column, and he was also double suicide. This day is the third day of the third lunar month. When the villagers saw their good sons and daughters in Zhuangxiang, they were both double-martyred. They were all very sad, sobbing and crying. Some even sang folk songs to praise their loyal and unyielding love, which lasted for three days and three nights, and then they were solemnly buried for both of them three days later.
In order to commemorate them, every year on March 3rd, people steamed glutinous rice, brought chicken, duck and fish, went up the mountain to sweep their graves, and at the same time sang songs together, thus forming a song fair.
