When is Beggar's Day?

Sister Qiqiao Festival is a traditional folk festival in ancient China. On the seventh day of July every year, it is the Qiqiao Qiaojie Festival, also called Tanabata, Daughter's Day, Tanabata, Daughter's Day, Blue Night, Children's Day, and Needle Punching. This shows that this is a girl's festival.

The origin of Begging Festival:

According to legend, after the weaver girl on the east bank of Tianhe married the cowherd in Hexi, the brocade was woven a little slowly, and the emperor was furious, so he drove the weaver girl back and only allowed them to meet on the bridge made of magpies and birds on the seventh night of the seventh lunar month every year. Therefore, every year on the evening of the seventh day of July, when the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd are reunited, the women will put up incense tables, thread needles and beg her for knitting and embroidery skills. Listening to the conversation between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl under the grape trellis is also an interesting thing on July 7.

The main customs of Qiaojie Begging for Food Festival:

1. On July 7th, people will wear needles and thread, hoping that needlework will be better.

1. In some places, a few days before Tanabata, a layer of soil was first applied on a small wooden board, and millet seeds were sprinkled to give birth to green seedlings, and then some small huts and flowers were put on it to make it look like a small village where people live in fields, hoping to have children.

On this day, I want to wash my hair, worship my niece and eat proper fruits.
