The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is a traditional festival of Valentine's Day in China. Valentine's Day in China originated from the worship of stars and the primitive belief of "leading a cow to lead a woman". Wu later evolved into a mythical actress goddess, known as Seven Sisters, The fairy lady, Seven-Star Empress and Seven-Mother Mother. Weaving clouds is the patron saint of couples, women and children, and July 7 is Heng's birthday. For thousands of years, ordinary people living all over China have held colorful folk activities around this festival.

Valentine's Day in China, which originated from the worship of stars, is Seven Sisters's birthday in the traditional sense. Qixi originated from the worship of stars and the original belief of Petunia and Five Girls. The original meaning of "Petunia and Five Girls" is the "Star Zone" corresponding to the geographical division of the astronomical star zone. Wu later evolved into a mythical actress goddess, known as Seven Sisters, The fairy lady, Seven-Star Empress and Seven-Mother Mother. She weaves clouds and textiles and is the patron saint of couples, women and children.

Qimei's birthday has a long history, and the customs of the north and the south were different in the pre-Qin period. The Han Dynasty was a period of communication and integration between the North and South customs. The custom of begging for food on Seven Sisters's birthday was introduced to the northern part of Xi in the Han Dynasty. Liu Xin in the Western Han Dynasty and Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty compiled a collection of historical notes and novels, which recorded that "women in Han Cai often put on seven-hole needles when they opened the building on July 7th, and everyone took them". After historical development, Tanabata has been endowed with the beautiful love legend of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", making it a festival symbolizing love.
