The weather is getting warmer in March of the lunar calendar. In the sun, you can take off your cotton padded clothes and change into your jacket, which is the best season to enjoy outdoor life. The picture depicts the story of the Shangsi ceremony. The scribes sat beside the brook. The boys filled the “feather cups” with wine and floated down from the upper stream of the water. Those who wanted to drink took the feather cups from the water. Shangsi is the third day of March. Xi Xi is a way to eliminate misfortune. The feather cup is a wine cup that can float on the water. In the Han Dynasty, people had the custom of going to the water to get rid of bad luck. In the Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher, floated in the winding water of the Orchid Pavilion in the shadow of the mountain to chant poems. Therefore, it became a famous story that he had practiced drinking water.
