Ancient rules were very strict, so how did you spend Valentine's Day in ancient times?

Ancient people did not celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14. Although Tanabata is regarded as Valentine's Day in China by us modern people, it was definitely not the first choice for ancient people to have sex on Tanabata. According to modern parlance, Valentine's Day in China was the Daughter's Day at that time. It was a day for girls to visit their close friends, worship the Weaver Maid, learn embroidery and pray for blessings. Because the ancient rules were very strict, in ancient times, only at this time could young girls go out to play in a clear and familiar way. Of course, this has also become the best time for young men to fight a tough battle for love.

In ancient times, women were not allowed to go out casually, so they usually stayed at home, but on this day every year, their families would allow them to come out and let them see the lights in the street and play around. As you can imagine, in such a scene, how can all young men and women not fall in love? So this day is really the most artistic day in the festival.

We all know that Valentine's Day in China is directly related to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and the protagonist of Tanabata in the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl story is not the Cowherd, but the Weaver Girl, who is known as the patron saint of ancient textile industry and the pioneer of romantic love. On Valentine's Day, girls can travel together. Lantern Festival provides opportunities for men to meet and date, and creates conditions for love.

Modern "Valentine's Day" has been labeled as a commercial color, far losing the romance of ancient men and women who were "ingenious" for love. Different from the popular "flowers" and "chocolates", the token of love presented by the ancients contains more subtle and far-reaching significance. Although the ancients were subtle, Valentine's Day was far more romantic than modern people.
