What activities do you usually have on March 3rd, a national festival in Guangxi?

Wuzhou, Guangxi, has a holiday on March 3, but there are not many activities, perhaps because there are more Han people. However, there are some customs other than festivals. First, tea garden folk songs.

In Wuzhou, Guangxi, there is a regional tea-Liubao Tea in Liubao Town, and around this town, there are also various tea gardens. Around March 3rd, it was the second spring tea picking time, and basically the tea hills were full of people. When picking tea, there are duets of folk songs, which almost everyone can do when the older generation takes them.

Of course, in terms of clothing, it is rare for ethnic minorities to pick tea, because most of them are Han people, and occasionally some Miao costumes are just needed by scenic spots. However, folk songs have no national boundaries. No matter what nationality people are, when picking tea, several people will shout a voice, and then they will sing the whole piece. March 3 is a "folk song festival" in Guangxi itself. On this day, the tea garden sings more happily. Second, lion dance.

Wuzhou people are obsessed with lion dance. As long as it is a grand festival, there will be lion dance activities, such as the third day of March. Although the lion dance on March 3 is far from going door-to-door as in the Chinese New Year, there are lion dances in relatively large squares and parks.

For example, there is a lion dance on March 3rd near Canghai Lake in Longwei, Wuzhou. This place is the nearest scenic spot in Wuzhou to high-speed railway station, and there is no one. Therefore, foreign tourists will choose to play nearby, and on March 3, there will naturally be lion dance activities.

However, lion dancing on March 3rd is actually more difficult than during the Chinese New Year, because during the Chinese New Year, the temperature is relatively low, and the highest temperature is more than 2 degrees, but it is different on March 3rd. In Wuzhou, the temperature is almost 3 degrees at this time. In this weather, people who watch lion dancing outdoors have to watch out for heatstroke every minute, not to mention dancers. Third, kill chickens and eat "black rice".

Except for ducks in July and a half, chickens are killed in other festivals in Guangxi. Therefore, it is quite normal to kill chickens on this festival on March 3. Who told Guangxi people that no feast can be made without chickens?

Killing chickens is quite common, and the unique one is "black rice". Wuzhou March 3rd is different from the colorful glutinous rice of Zhuang family. We are not so persistent in looking for materials of every color, but only choose the most common maple leaf to make "black rice". Seriously, some people from other places may not be used to eating it, but they have different flavors.

On a festival like March 3rd, only some rural people will pay attention to black rice. Among those who have moved out of the city, this custom has basically been removed, and it is no different from others except killing chickens.

Generally speaking, March 3rd in Guangxi is different in different cities. In Wuzhou, a water city, its custom is the above-mentioned activity, because this festival is a busy farming season, so it will not be too lively.
