Live: Marvel at the unique customs of the She ethnic group in E China's Longnan City

March 3 on the Chinese lunar calendar is a traditional festival for the She people. On this day, the Shes in Longnan City, east China's Jiangxi Province, celebrate by cooking sticky rice and coloring it dark blue or black with specific plants, which is called "wufan" in Chinese, hence the festival is known as the "Wufan Festival," during which families cook and eat wufan and people sing in antiphonal style while performing traditional dances.
