Many Zhuang people like singing even more than talking. They sing songs while walking, farming and doing housework. On the third day of the third lunar month, the Zhuang people usually hold a big singing festival. Thousands of singers get together to compete(竞争) to be the "king" or "queen" of singing. Many singers are young men and women, and they often sing Liu Sanjie's love songs. It's a good chance for them to get to know each other.
