July 7th is Chinese valentine's day.The Chinese Valentine's Day, also known as Qiqiao Festival, Qiqiao Festival or Qijie's birthday, is one of the traditional Chinese festivals and has a history of thousands of years. The origin of this festival is closely related to the ancient people's worship of nature, worship of time, and the beautiful legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
The earliest origin may have been in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as the "Book of Songs·Dadong". In the Han Dynasty, the details of the Chinese Valentine's Day began to be linked to the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and gradually became a festival for women.
The celebrations of the Chinese Valentine's Day are rich and colorful, including threading needles to beg for skill, happy spider-being skill, throwing needles to test, posting books and clothes, worshiping the Weaver Girl, worshiping Kuixing, and eating Qiaoguo. These customs reflect the ancient women's yearning and pursuit for wisdom, skillful art and happy marriage.
In general, the Chinese Valentine's Day is a festival full of romantic colors and profound cultural connotations. It not only reflects the awe of nature and time of ancient Chinese people, but also expresses people's yearning for beautiful love and life.
