Hello friends! Have you ever heard of the Sanyuesan Festival? 🎉 It’s a super fun festival celebrated by the Zhuang people in southern China!
The Zhuang ethnic group is one of China’s many unique cultures. Every year, on the third day of the third month of the traditional Chinese calendar, they throw a big party called the Sanyuesan Festival. That’s why it’s called “Sanyuesan”—it means “Third Month, Third Day” in Chinese! 🗓️
During this festival, everyone gathers to sing happy folk songs 🎶, dance lively dances 💃, play exciting games 🎯, and share delicious food 🍜 with each other. Imagine streets filled with colorful clothes, music in the air, and lots of laughter!
The Sanyuesan Festival is so special that it’s been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage of China. That means it’s an important part of the country’s traditions that people want to protect and celebrate. 🎖️
But wait, there’s more! In 2025, from January 15 to 18, the Global Mayors Dialogue will be held in Nanning, which is a city in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The theme is “Jointly Building an Amicable Home for China-ASEAN: Urban Openness and Cooperation.” 🌏 This event will help cities work together, share their cultures, and create new friendships. How cool is that?
So, next time you’re curious about different cultures, remember the Zhuang people’s Sanyuesan Festival. Maybe one day you’ll get to join in the fun! 🎊
