What is the original copy of March 3 of Zhuang nationality?

1 and March 3 are traditional festivals of the Zhuang people. Zhuang people call it "Wobu Po" or "Wopo Po", whose original intention is to sing abroad and in the fields, so it is also called "Gewei Festival". In memory of Sanjie Liu, it is also called "Song Fairy Club". There are many touching legends about its origin.

In ancient times, there was a pair of lovers who often sang folk songs to express their love. However, due to the shackles of feudal ethics, the two could not get married, so they both fell in love. People sang in memory of the couple on March 3rd.

The most popular legend is about Liu Sanjie: Zhuang singer Liu Sanjie often praises labor and love with folk songs and exposes the sins of the rich. On the third day of March one year, when Sanjie Liu was chopping wood on the mountain, the rich man sent someone to cut off the vines, causing her to fall off the cliff and die. In order to commemorate the singer, later generations gathered to sing on this day, which lasted for three days and three nights, and the song meeting was formed.

4. These legends are hard to verify now, but the book Taiping Universe written by Song people records: "A strong man is familiar with the valley and chooses a day to worship the gods, and men and women will sing songs at the grand event." This shows that the song fair was also very prosperous at that time.

5. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the development of Zhuang folk songs was particularly prominent, and the song club became a place for cultural entertainment and romance between men and women, and there were games of throwing hydrangeas. After the woman threw the hydrangea to her beloved man, they both quit the music scene and gave each other tokens of love. In the Qing dynasty, a large-scale activity attended by thousands of people was formed. 1934 The Survey of Counties in Guangxi recorded that there were 26 counties in Guangxi at that time, almost all over Guangxi.

6. The place where the Zhuang people sing is called Ge Ping, and the Zhuang language is called "Huanlong Cave". It means singing in the field, which is also called "Huanwo Dare", that is, singing outside the cave. During the festival, people cook and dye glutinous rice with maple leaves, yellow flowers and March flowers as a memorial to Liu Sanjie and eat it by themselves. It is said that eating this can flourish like flowers and trees.

7. The song market of Zhuang nationality is the crystallization of the traditional culture of Zhuang nationality, which was formed in the long-term historical process. There are many touching legends about its origin. Among them, the most popular story is "singing to choose a husband". Legend has it that a long time ago, the daughter of a Zhuang singer was beautiful and moving, and her singing was euphemistic and crisp. The singer is bent on choosing a young man with outstanding talent and distinctive personality for his daughter as a son-in-law. The news spread like wildfire, and young men came to participate in the competition. The loser naturally left, and a young man with the best talent stayed and became relatives with the singer's daughter. Their union was told as a much-told story. Since then, young men and women have used songs to express their feelings and choose their spouses. It formed a Song market.
