What are the customs of Valentine's Day in China?

Most girls try their best to make small things and put some melons and fruits on them. Different regions have different ways to please others, and each has its own interests.

2. Qiniang Club

In Guangdong and Tanabata, there is a custom of holding the Seven Mothers' Meeting. Activities are generally carried out among young girls and young women (men and elderly women can only watch and salute). Organize a dozen good sisters to prepare for "Seven Sisters worship" in advance. In June, some rice, wheat and mung beans will be soaked in porcelain bowls to germinate.

Tanabata is getting busier as it approaches. We need to raise some money and ask our families to help us build a magpie bridge with bamboo paper and make all kinds of exquisite handicrafts.

On Qixi night, the Eight Immortals table is set up in the hall, embroidered table (table skirt) is tied, and flower and fruit products and needlework are placed. In addition, of course, there are cosmetics, such as small rouge boxes, mirrors, colored combs, velvet flowers, powder cakes and so on. Also show it to the Weaver Girl and her daughters.

Daughters should dress up at the Seven Mothers' Party, sit around the table of the Eight Immortals and the edge of the Magpie Bridge, and play various games: or entertain themselves, sing poems in pairs, solve riddles on the lanterns, and worship ghosts with needles for cleverness.

3. For Niu Qingsheng

In the old society, children would pick wild flowers and hang them on their horns on Qixi, which is also called "Happy Birthday". Because it is said that after the Queen Mother of the West separated the Cowherd from the Weaver Girl by Tianhe, the old cow asked the Cowherd to scrape off its skin and drive its cowhide to see the Weaver Girl. In order to commemorate the sacrifice spirit of the old cow, people have the custom of "celebrating the life of the cow".

Valentine's Day in China originated in China, and it is also celebrated in some Asian countries influenced by China culture, such as Japan, Korean Peninsula and Viet Nam. On May 20th, 2006, China Valentine's Day was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage by People's Republic of China (PRC) and the State Council.
