San Yue San Festival is also known as the Zhuang People's Folk Song Festival and it falls on the third day of the third lunar month every year. There are many legendary stories about the Folk Song Festival.
One of the most popular stories is about Liu Sanjie. There was once a Zhuang girl called Liu Sanjie, who was very good at singing. She loved ordinary people and hated the evil landlords(地主). She often inspired people with folk songs. The landlords were jealous of her singing and afraid of her courage. They tried to forbid Liu Sanjie from singing but failed. Later, Liu Sanjie was persecuted(迫害) by the landlords. She was pushed into a pond. Instead of sinking into the water, she flew to heaven on the back of a carp in the pond and became the “Singing Goddess”. In order to commemorate her, people make the third day of the third lunar month the Folk Song Festival. This is the day she ascended to heaven and became a goddess.
On this festival, Zhuang people will gather together to celebrate the festival by holding various folk activities. Singing folk songs is the most important activity of this festival. Zhuang people are very fond of singing. During the festival, people will gather in the fields to hold song fairs. Their songs are mostly about life, work, love and historical events.
The festival is referred to as Zhuang Valentine’s Day. On this occasion, single young men and women dress up and go to the song fair. Customarily, the singing contest consists of two camps with boys in one camp and girls in the other. Singers often edit and sing songs randomly, following the request of the other side. By singing in an antiphonal(轮流吟唱的) style, the young men and women quickly come to know each other. If the boy and girl find each other congenial, they will exchange keepsakes. The girl will usually give an embroidered(刺绣的) ball to the man
she accepts.
Bamboo pole dancing is another highlight of the folk song festival. Eight young men hold the eight bamboo poles’ ends facing each other in pairs. They will raise and lower the bamboo poles to the accompaniment of music. Girls sing and perform while jumping and hopping between the poles, with those touching the bamboo poles being eliminated from the game.The last girl left is the winner. Underlying this dance is the auspicious meaning: success in career and life for the winner.

三月节也被称为壮族民歌节，在每年的农历三月初三。关于民歌节有许多传说故事。最广为流传的故事是关于刘三姐的。从前有个壮族女孩叫刘三姐，很会唱歌。她爱护百姓，嫉恶如仇，常用民歌鼓舞人心。地主们嫉恨她的歌声，也畏惧她的勇气。他们曾试图阻止刘三姐唱歌，但失败了。后来刘三姐遭到地主们的迫害，被推入池塘。但她没有沉入水底，而是骑着池塘里的鲤鱼升入天庭，成为了“歌仙”。为了纪念她，人们将三月三定为民歌节，这天是她升天成仙的日子。
在这个节日里，壮族人会聚在一起，举行各种民俗活动来庆祝这个节日。唱民歌是这个节日最重要的活动。壮族人非常喜欢唱歌。在节日期间，人们会聚集在田野里举行歌会。他们的歌曲大多是关于生活、工作、爱情和历史事件。
这个节日也被称为壮族情人节。在这一天，单身的青年男女会盛装出席歌会。按照惯例，歌唱比赛分为两个阵营，男孩在一个阵营，女孩在另一个阵营。歌手经常根据对方的要求临场编排和演唱歌曲。通过对唱的方式，年轻的男女很快就认识了彼此。如果小伙儿和姑娘觉得彼此情投意合，就会交换信物，女孩通常会把绣球送给心仪之人。
竹竿舞是民歌节的另一个亮点。八名年轻人成对地手持八根竹竿的两端。他们会在音乐的伴奏下把竹竿高高放下。女孩们一边唱歌一边在竹竿之间跳来跳去，接触竹竿的人被淘汰出局。最后一个离开的女孩就是赢家。这种舞蹈隐含着吉祥的寓意：事业和生活的成功。
