March 31 marks the first traditional festival of spring, also known as the Shangsi Festival or Double Third Festival. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), people used their colorful skirts to form makeshift tents for picnics, creating the elegant "skirt tent banquet" event. Today, young people from the Greater Bay Area gather, dressed in traditional Hanfu, uniting in the name of springtime tradition. Tradition doesn't fade away; it blossoms in modern times with a vibrant spirit.
