“Lunar March 3” is a traditional festival on which Li people get together to express their
admirations to each other, therefore it is called a day of saying love. Miao people also hold
the tradition of cerebrating the gala day. On the day, the Li people would flock together to
wish for double harvest in Shanlan rice plantation and hunting. The elderly would bring along the
preserved meat and rice wine, come to the most prestigious elderly of the village, sit in circle
and drink to their satisfaction. Now on Lunar March 3, large-scale ethnic events would be held in
Sanya and Wuzhishan City, mainly launching singing and dancing performance, sport games and other featured activities. |
