Is Valentine's Day a traditional festival in China?

Valentine's Day in China is a traditional festival. China Valentine's Day, also known as Qiaojie Begging Festival, Qiqiaojie Festival or Seven Sisters's Birthday, originated in China and is a traditional festival in China and East Asian countries. This festival comes from the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl and is celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.

Because the main participants in this day's activities are girls, the content of the festival activities is mainly begging skills, so people call this day "begging skills festival" or "daughter's day" or "daughter's day". On May 20th, 2006, Tanabata was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage by the State Council.

China Valentine's Day takes the folklore of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl as the carrier, expressing the feelings of married men and women who never give up and grow old together, and abiding by their commitment to love. With the development of time, Qixi became the Valentine's Day in China.

Tanabata is a non-cultural and historical heritage of China and a traditional festival with special significance. Qixi originated in China, so it is necessary for us to develop its inheritance. With the passage of time, Valentine's Day in China, which we now call Valentine's Day, has attracted the attention of many young men and women and brought people a lot of joy.
