Shangsi Festival | In the painted hall, on the third day of the third month, fluff drifts against the window screens, and swallows brush the eaves.

The Shangsi Festival, commonly known as “the Third Day of the Third Month,” It is a time-honored Chinese traditional festival, steeped in poetic charm. In ancient times, people often performed purification rituals on this day to ward off misfortune. Bathing, banqueting by the water, and spring outings.

The Shangsi Festival, also known as the Daughters’ Festival, is one of China’s oldest celebrations of love. On this day, the “Ji Li” ceremony—marking a girl’s coming of age—is typically held. Daughters partake in the Shangsi Spring Excursion, walking along the water’s edge, gathering orchids by the stream, donning their finest attire, and singing and dancing as they go. The “Zhenwei” chapter of the “Guofeng” section of the Book of Songs reads: “Beyond the Wei, how vast and joyous it is.” A maiden fair, with whom I would jest, I give her a spoonful of peony. “It refers to the Shangsi Festival, when one expresses their feelings to the person they admire.” A gift of peonies to express affection. The scene.
