Legend has it that in ancient times, there was an old woman, no heir, and then saved a wounded snake. After the snake was healed and refused to leave, the crone said to the snake: there is a difference between humans and animals, we do not have a tail, if you want to be with me, you have to give up your tail. Later, the old woman chopped off a small section of the snake's tail, and the snake's tail became shorter, so the people called the snake "Te Nuggets", "Te" means male in Zhuang, "Nuggets" means short tail in Zhuang. Zhuang is the meaning of the short tail, people called the old woman "乜掘", "乜" is the meaning of the Zhuang language mother. From then on, sox-dig raised Te-dig like a son. Now the Zhuang people still have a related custom, that is, the newly purchased chickens and ducks on the tail of a few hairs plucked off, meaning that the crone, like the wild animals, to become a member of the human family. In fact, this custom and legend reflects the ancient human domestication of animals, from wild to domesticated ancient memory. The absence of a tail also reflects the evolution of mankind from primitive man to civilized man.
Later, the crone died of old age, the neighbors put the crone into the coffin, they said to the snake: Special dig ah, special dig! She used to treat you like her own son, but now that she's gone, let's see how you're going to pay your respects to her. Snake seems to understand the human language, blinking, suddenly the wind and rain, a gust of wind will be the old crone's coffin and the snake together to the highest peak of Daming Mountain above. At that time it was around the third of March, and then every time around the third of March, the Daming Mountain area appeared extreme weather, storms or hail, the local people thought it was special digging back to sweep the tomb to pay homage to his mother.
People in order to celebrate the great qualities of sox digging and extol filial piety, they gave the crone sox digging to establish a temple, people in order to express their respect, in the Zhuang language will be called "Dapa Temple", or "Bupa Temple" (Lobo Temple), collectively referred to as the "Longmu Temple" in the Chinese language. In Chinese, it is collectively called "Dragon Mother Temple". The local Zhuang people also began to worship snakes, and were respectful of them, avoiding killing and eating them. Along with with the cultural spread and influence of the Zhuang's ancestor, the Luo Yue ethnic group, the form of the snake was later integrated into the form of the Chinese totem dragon, so then the Special Digging became the embodiment of the dragon, and it was also elevated to become the original dragon, so the Special Digging is also known as Digging the Tail Dragon. Daming Mountain then became a natural giant sacred tomb, and became the belief of the ancient Zhuang people's mind that when people died, their souls would also fly back to Daming Mountain. Therefore, Daming Mountain is also regarded as the tomb of ancestors, and became a holy mountain in the myths and beliefs of the Zhuang and Dong ethnic groups. Therefore, it is said that the Zhuang people in the Daming Mountain area are the real "descendants of the dragon". So, the two of them were honored as the mother of the dragon, and all the temples in the area were dedicated to the god of Daming Mountain.
Then came the time when the Zhuang people would traditionally sweep their graves on March 3rd. On the first day of March, people would pick maple branches and stick them in the cracks of doors and windows, and on March 3, they would also make five-colored glutinous rice to worship their ancestors and the temple of the Dragon Mother.

To the outside of the PANGXIANG, the field to sing, so also known as the "Song Wei Festival". It is also called "Song Wei Festival" in honor of Liu Sanjie, so it is also called "Song Xian Hui". About its origin, there are many moving folklore.
One said that in ancient times there was a pair of lovers, often singing songs to express their love. However, due to the constraints of feudal rites, the two could not be married, so they were both martyred. In order to commemorate this couple, people sang songs on the third day of the third month to pay tribute.
The most widespread legend is about Liu Sanjie: the Zhuang song fairy "Liu Sanjie" often use songs to praise labor and love, and expose the evils of the rich.

In order to commemorate the song fairy, the descendants will be in this day party singing, a song is three days and three nights, song Wei this formation.
These legends are now difficult to prove, but in the Song Dynasty, there is a record in the Taiping Huan Yu Ji: "Strong people in the ripening of grain, choose the day to sacrifice to the gods, men and women festivals for song." This shows that the song pike at that time was also very prosperous.

It means to sing in the field, and it is also called "Huan Wo Dang", that is, to sing outside the cavern. During the period, people with maple leaves, yellow flowers, March flowers cooked and dyed glutinous rice, in order to pay tribute to Liu Sanjie, and their own food, it is said that food can be as prosperous as the flowers and trees.
