Is there China Valentine's Day in Korea?

South Korea has China's Valentine's Day, and Tanabata is on July 7th of the lunar calendar.

Korean Tanabata customs include worshipping the weaver girl, offering sacrifices, printing books and revealing clothes, etc.

1, pray for Vega

The most representative custom of South Korea's Tanabata is to pray for the Weaver Girl, hoping that she will also have the dexterous hands like the Weaver Girl and weave better. In the morning, women put melons, cucumbers and other fruits on the table to kowtow and pray. Women's knitting skills are getting better and better.

Step 2 sacrifice

Another important event of Korean Tanabata Festival is sacrifice, which can be divided into family sacrifice and collective sacrifice. Korean women should put clean well water on the altar. Cowherd and Weaver Girl are no longer sacrifices. They mainly pray for the safety of their relatives and friends. In some places, people hold field festivals to pray for a bumper harvest. In central China, there is a custom of "welcoming Chinese Valentine's Day", which is a ritual for witches to pray for their children's safety.

3, drying books and clothes.

July is a period when the hot weather gradually disappears, and it is also a period when farmers wait for the autumn harvest after busy farm work, so they have a little leisure time. Therefore, at this time after the rainy season, farmers have the custom of drying clothes and books in the summer rainy season, which is called drying books and clothes. Therefore, every family's yard is full of clothes and books that are taken out to dry.
