Is Beggar's Day a traditional festival?

Qiaoqiao Festival is China's Valentine's Day, also known as Qiaoqi Festival, Qi Jie Festival and Qiaoxi Festival. Qiaoqi Festival is held on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year. On this day, there are customs such as praying for blessings, enjoying the moon and storing water on Tanabata. Later, Tanabata was also endowed with the beautiful love legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, which became the Valentine's Day in China.

Legend has it that the weaver girl was originally a fairy girl in the sky. Because she was tired of life in the sky, she fell in love with the cowherd and lived a life of farming and weaving, so she went down to earth privately. When the Emperor of Heaven found out, he was furious. He separated the Weavers and ordered them to meet at Magpie Bridge only on the seventh day of July every year. Magpies are moved by their love and come to build a bridge with their bodies every year to help them meet.
