When is Valentine's Day in China?

20 19 Valentine's Day in China is Wednesday, August 7th, 20 19 (Year of the Pig).

In ancient times, people listed the first month, March 3rd, May 5th, July 7th and September 9th as auspicious days, plus even numbers of February 2nd and multiples of June 6th. "Seven" is the number of beads in each column of the abacus, which is romantic and rigorous, giving people a mysterious aesthetic feeling. "Seven" and "wife" are homophonic, so Qixi has largely become a festival related to women.

Nineteen ancient poems at the end of the Han Dynasty wrote: "Those who are far away, cowherd stars, Jiaohe Han women. Skillful hands, make a loom. There is no chapter all day, and tears are pouring down. What's the difference between a clear river and a shallow one? Ying Ying is easy to water, and his pulse is silent. " For example, in Cao Pi's Ge Yanxing, it is said that "the cowherd and the weaver girl face each other from a distance, and you alone cannot limit the river beam". They have regarded Weaver Girl and Penny as lovers. Therefore, the Qin and Han dynasties should be the early stage of the formation of the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. There is a record that "Petunia failed to marry Weaver Girl" in Qin bamboo slips unearthed in Yunmeng Crouching Tiger Area, Hubei Province.
