【一年一度的#三月三#来临】上巳节俗称#三月三#，别名女儿节。上巳节也是中国的情人节，记载于《诗经》中，比西方情人节早了1000年。上巳节在汉代以前定为三月上旬的巳日，后来固定在夏历三月初三，是举行“祓除畔浴”活动中最重要的节日，这一天人们结伴去水边沐浴，称为“祓禊”，此后又增加了祭祀宴饮、曲水流觞、互赠香草、郊外游春等内容。当今中国很多地区依然沿袭着三月三的节日习俗，人们载歌载舞进行各种形式的庆祝活动。Shangsi Festival, also known as Double Third Day, dates back to thousands of years ago and falls on April 11 this year. On this day, people pray near the riverside, drink from a winding canal with wine cups floating, and bathe in the river to get rid of evils. It is regarded as the traditional Chinese equivalent of Valentine's Day and some festival customs have been passed down to this day.
