What is the form of traditional festival begging?
2. China Valentine's Day, also known as Begging for Clevership Festival, Seven Clever Days or Seven Sisters's Birthday, originated in China. It is a traditional festival in China and some East Asian countries influenced by Chinese culture. On the night of the seventh or sixth day of the seventh lunar month, women seek wisdom from the weaver girl in the courtyard, so they call it "seeking cleverness".
It originated from the worship of nature and women's embroidery, and was later endowed with the legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, making it a festival symbolizing love. On May 20th, 2006, China Valentine's Day was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage by People's Republic of China (PRC) and the State Council, and now it is considered as "Valentine's Day in China".
4. Qiaqiao, a festival that originated in the Han Dynasty, recorded in Gehong's Miscellanies of Xijing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty that "women in the Han Dynasty often put seven-hole needles in the building on July 7, and everyone took them", which is the earliest record of Qiaqiao in ancient literature we have seen. In later Tang and Song poems, women's begging for cleverness was repeatedly mentioned. In the Tang Dynasty, Wang Jian wrote a poem "The stars are bright and the pearls are bright, and Gong E is busy begging for cleverness". According to "The Legacy of Kaiyuan Tianbao", every time Emperor Taizong and his concubines held a banquet in the Qing Palace on Tanabata, the ladies-in-waiting begged with their own ingenuity. This custom is also enduring among the people and passed down from generation to generation.
