The most grand blind date meeting of Dong men and women: March 3rd scallion Festival
The third day of the third month of the lunar calendar is the most grand social festival of the Dong Nationality in Zhenyuan Baojing, which lasts for four days.
During the scallion and garlic Festival, the middle-aged and elderly people form a group to visit and dance Lusheng dance. Young men and women carry out activities for the purpose of finding objects.
On the first two days of the scallion and garlic Festival, the girls went to the fields to salvage fish and shrimp and had dinner with young boys in the wild. On the third day of junior high school, the girls dressed in costumes went to the garden to pick onions and garlic, and then took them to the Longtan well at the foot of the village to wash. The boys waited in line on the way. When the girls passed in front of them, they asked them for baskets. The girl will give her basket to whoever she is interested in. When the young man got the basket, he got the girl's love. Everyone cheered and praised it.
After the lover got the basket, he agreed a date with the girl to return it, and thanked her with cloth and candy in the basket. At noon on the third day of junior high school, foreign guests came to Beijing Lusheng field to dance Lusheng dance and step on drum dance with people. The singing party on the fourth day of junior high school was even more grand. It was not until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year that people blew Sheng and fired guns to welcome guests out of the village. It is said that in ancient times, a girl named Liang Ying fell in love with a poor young Qiao Sheng in Baojing, but her parents forced the girl to marry a rich family. Liang Ying fished shrimps in the field on the third day of March and made an appointment with Qiao Sheng under the red bean tree. He gave the fish and garlic to Qiao Sheng to show his loyalty. Unexpectedly, they were found. They were severely beaten and abused. They were extremely sad and angry and jumped off the cliff. In order to commemorate the couple's courage to resist arranged marriage, later generations held the above activities on this day, so they formed a festival.
