What festival is flattering?

Beggar's Day refers to Valentine's Day in China. Valentine's Day in China, also known as Jochey's Day, Jochey's Day or Chinese Valentine's Day, originated in China. In ancient times, women made sacrifices to their seven sisters every birthday, praying for ingenuity and a happy marriage. This is also the origin of the name "Qiao Qi". Women will also put a needle into the moon with five colors and fine lines for a long time. Over time, Tanabata has also become a "Daughter's Day".

China Valentine's Day takes the folklore of Cowherd and Weaver Girl as the carrier, expressing the feelings of married men and women who never leave, grow old together and abide by their love commitments.

The origin of the festival:

The origin of Valentine's Day on Qixi is related to the folk story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. Its earliest origin may be in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as The Book of Songs Dadong: "If you fall, the Weaver Girl will have seven waves all day. Although it is seven, it is not a service seal; You can't recognize the box when you look at the cow. " There is also Luo Qi's "The Source of Things" in the Ming Dynasty: "Chu Huaiwang first decides Tanabata." However, Tanabata at that time was a sacrifice to Altair and Vega, and there was no story behind it. It was not until the Han Dynasty that its details were linked with the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and it officially became a festival for women.

For example, in "Pass" written by Ying Shao in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was written: "Weaver crossing the river on Qixi, Queqiao Club." Another example is "Miscellanies of Xijing": "Women in the Han Dynasty often wear seven-hole needles in Jinkai Building on July 7th, and all of them use Xi's needles."
