Why do we call Tanabata Valentine's Day in China and not in the West?
Tanabata is a solar term. Because of the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Tanabata has the meaning of Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day in the West is also named after a legendary figure "Valentine". So "Valentine's Day" in the west is just the meaning of this festival. The so-called "Valentine's Day" is just China people's understanding of Western Valentine's Day. In fact, foreigners think that Valentine's Day is just the same holiday term as Qixi, and "Valentine's Day" is the meaning under this term. Let's quote the story of Baidu's Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day, also known as Valentine's Day, is a national holiday in some countries in Europe, America and Oceania. There are many sources of this festival, but it is generally more common that the Roman saint Valentine was executed and later designated as "Valentine's Day". In the 3rd century A.D., the Roman Empire experienced a comprehensive crisis, economic depression, corruption of the ruling class, social unrest and people rebelled. In order to maintain their rule, the nobles brutally suppressed the people and Christians. At that time, a Christian Valentine was arrested and imprisoned. In prison, his honesty impressed the warden's daughter deeply. They love each other and are taken care of by the warden's daughter. The ruling class ordered his death. Before the execution, he wrote a long suicide note to the warden's daughter, expressing his innocence. It shows that he is aboveboard and has deep feelings for the warden's daughter. On February 14, AD 270, he was executed. Later, in order to commemorate Valentine's sacrifice for justice and pure love, Christians designated the execution day as "Saint Valentine's Day", and later generations changed it to "Valentine's Day".
