Tanabata is a traditional festival in China. In fact, so far, many changes have taken place in this festival. For example, in our present life, whenever it comes to Tanabata, we don't really feel much.

If many couples want to spend Tanabata on this day, there are many similarities in form with Valentine's Day from the west. For many couples, Tanabata is an important day, and they will go on a date on this day, but the content will not be too new.

In ancient times, Tanabata was a grand and important traditional festival. Slowly to the present life, first of all, the form is much simpler, not as lively as before.

You will find that many traditional festivals are constantly developing, and now life has become very simple, and many complicated ceremonies have been gradually omitted. Up to now, what has survived is only the shell of a festival.

Take Valentine's Day in China as an example. In ancient times, through the description of some film and television works, we can see that the people on Qixi are very lively. There will be many parties for men and women, besides, there will be many activities, and the atmosphere of the whole city is very good.

But so far, on Valentine's Day in China, many merchants will attract couples' attention by offering discounts or gifts. The whole city will not change because of Tanabata, and even the whole city will not become more grand or interesting because of Tanabata.
