Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region: Sanyuesan Festival

Sanyuesan (the third day of the third lunar month), is a traditional festival of Zhuang, Yao, Miao and Dong people. Apart from singing and dancing together, cooking colorful rice and dying eggs red are also part of the festival, and ethnic people pray for good harvest on that day as well.

Sanyuesan is also the synonym for "tomb sweeping day" to Zhuang people who consider it as the most important festival. People go back to their hometown to sweep tombs and worship ancestors.

Zhuang people's Sanyuesan Festival was listed as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2014.
