Editor's Note: Valentine's Day in China There are three festivals in China that can be called "Valentine's Day", but not everyone celebrates them. China's Valentine's Day originated from China's Valentine's Day, which is called China's Valentine's Day, formerly known as Begging for Clevership Festival. Qiaqiao China's Valentine's Day originated in the Han Dynasty. Ge Hong's Miscellanies of Xijing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty recorded that "women in the Han Dynasty often put seven-hole needles upstairs on July 7, and everyone was there", which is the earliest record of Qiaqiao in ancient literature we have seen. Qixi originated from people's worship of nature. According to historical documents, at least three or four thousand years ago, with people's understanding of astronomy and the emergence of textile technology, there was a record of Altair Vega. People worship the stars far more than Altair and Vega. They think that there are seven stars representing directions in the east, west, north and south, which are collectively called 28 nights, among which the Big Dipper is the brightest and can be used to tell directions at night. The first star of the Big Dipper is called Kuixing, also known as the champion. Later, with the imperial examination system, the top scholar in the middle school was called "Dakui Scholar in the World", and the scholars called Tanabata "Kuixing Festival" or "Book-drying Festival", which preserved the trace that the earliest Tanabata originated from worshipping stars. Qixi also comes from the ancient people's worship of time. "Seven" and "period" are homophonic, and both the month and the day are "seven", giving people a sense of time. In ancient China, the sun and moon, together with the five planets of water, fire, wood, gold and earth, were called "Seven Obsidian". Seven figures are staged in time among the people, and the calculation of time often ends with "July 7th". In old Beijing, when doing Dojo for the dead, it was often done by "July 7th". Using "seven obsidians" to calculate the current "week" is still reserved in Japanese. "Seven" and "Auspicious" are homophonic, and "July 7th" has a double auspicious meaning, which is an auspicious day. In Taiwan Province Province, July is called "Joy brings good luck" month. Because the happy character in cursive script looks like "seventy-seven", 77 years old is also called "Happy Birthday". China Valentine's Day (the seventh day of the seventh lunar month) is in China. On the evening of the seventh lunar month, the weather is warm and the plants are fragrant. This is commonly known as China Valentine's Day, and some people call it "Begging for Clevership Festival" or "Daughter's Day". It is the most romantic festival among the traditional festivals in China and the most important day for girls in the past. On a clear summer and autumn night, the sky is full of stars, and a huge white galaxy runs across the north and south. On the east and west banks of the river, there is a shining star across the river, that is, Altair and Vega. It is a folk custom to sit and watch morning glory and weaver girl on Tanabata. According to legend, this night every year is the time when the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd meet at the Magpie Bridge. The Weaver Girl is a beautiful, clever and clever fairy. On this night, ordinary women prayed to her for wisdom and skillful skills, and they also prayed to her for a happy marriage. Therefore, the seventh day of July is also called Begging Festival. It is said that on Tanabata night, you can look up and see the Milky Way where the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet, and you can also eavesdrop on the love story when they meet in the sky under the melon and fruit shelf. On this romantic night, facing the bright moon in the sky, the girls put the fruits and vegetables of the season in the sky, begging the goddess in the sky to give them intelligent hearts and dexterous hands, so that they can master their needlework skills, and even beg for the combination of love and marriage. In the past, marriage was a lifelong event for women to decide whether they were happy or not. Therefore, on this quiet night, countless sentient men and women in the world will pray for a happy marriage under the stars. Some people call Lantern Festival or Qixi Festival, a traditional festival in China, "Valentine's Day in China". In the Han Dynasty, it was very common to celebrate Tanabata, but traditionally, the content of celebrating Tanabata has nothing to do with couples dating and other activities, but a festival to pray for good luck and make wishes. Later, the legend that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met at the Queqiao Bridge on Tanabata gave Tanabata the meaning of Valentine's Day. In recent years, young people in China celebrate Tanabata by celebrating Western Valentine's Day, which has nothing to do with traditional customs. Valentine's Day in China-Don't call it Double Seven: This day, month and day are all seven, so it's called seven, also called seven. Xiangri: According to legend, the cowherd and the weaver girl meet on Tanabata, and the weaver girl should dress up, paint and even smell the fragrance all over the sky, hence the name. Week: Cowherd and Weaver Girl have special status, and they can only meet once a year, so this day is called week. Wang Bo's Tanabata Fu "Stay in the Week, Full Moon and Evening" compares the week with the moon and evening, and points out the two most beautiful and touching nights related to family and love in a year. Because of this, later generations call the auspicious day for men and women to get married "Zhou". Qiaoxi: It is called Qiaoxi because there is a custom of pleasing on Qixi. Women's Day: Valentine's Day in China is called Women's Day, also called Girls' Day and Girls' Day, because girls worship immortals and strive for cleverness. Blue Night: The seventh month of the lunar calendar was called "blue moon" in ancient times, so Tanabata is also called "blue night". Children's Day: It's called because the customs such as being clever and begging for books are mostly done by girls and boys. Needle-piercing Festival: It is called Purple Valentine's Day because of the custom of needle-piercing on this day. According to the flowering time in Ajisai, Ajisai is also called hydrangea, which blooms in rainy season (open in summer). Because flowers change many colors from blooming to dying, there are several colors, such as red, blue, green and blue, which represent colorful and happy life, while purple is strong to lavender, which also symbolizes change. Therefore, purple is used to symbolize Ajisai, not because it is changeable, but because it represents the rainy season. If Tanabata is a purple Valentine's Day before the heat, it is a folk custom to sit and watch the morning glory and Vega on Tanabata. According to legend, this night every year is the time when the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd meet at the Magpie Bridge. The Weaver Girl is a beautiful, clever and clever fairy. On this night, ordinary women prayed to her for wisdom and skillful skills, and they also prayed to her for a happy marriage. Therefore, the seventh day of July is also called Begging Festival. It is said that on Tanabata night, you can look up and see the Milky Way where the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet, and you can also eavesdrop on the love story when they meet in the sky under the melon and fruit shelf. On this romantic night, facing the bright moon in the sky, the girls put the fruits and vegetables of the season in the sky, begging the goddess in the sky to give them intelligent hearts and dexterous hands, so that they can master their needlework skills, and even beg for the combination of love and marriage. In the past, marriage was a lifelong event for women to decide whether they were happy or not. Therefore, on this quiet night, countless sentient men and women in the world will pray for a happy marriage under the stars. Lantern Festival (the fifteenth day of the first lunar month) Lantern Festival is similar to Valentine's Day in custom. Among the ancient poems in the Tang Dynasty, there are poems describing the Lantern Festival. In the Song Dynasty, Zhu (Ouyang Xiu) wrote: "When the willow blossoms are bright, people will meet after dusk". Shangsi Festival (the third day of the third lunar month) is more in line with the content of Valentine's Day in some festivals that are still popular among ethnic minorities. Shangsi Festival was originally a festival for young men and women to have an outing, socialize and make friends with the opposite sex. Before the Han Dynasty, there was the custom of sexual intercourse. Later, the ethical code rose and the custom of sexual intercourse disappeared. But at that time, the communication between men and women was still freer than later generations, and young men and women would still go for an outing in the suburbs on the same day. Neo-Confucianism rose in the Southern Song Dynasty, ethics became stricter, and Shangsi Festival declined in Chinese culture.
