On July 7th, the Seven Mothers' Meeting was called "Worship Seven Sisters" in Guangdong and "Worship Seven Mothers" in Fujian and Taiwan Province. Before the founding of New China, Tanabata was a grand festival for beautiful girls. In the old society, beautiful girls begged Qi Jie to teach her clever skills, but in fact, the so-called "begging for cleverness" was just "fighting cleverness". Liu Kezhuang once wrote a poem in the Song Dynasty: "Melons and fruits are blessed with fists, and their throats sell their voices. Cantonese people are very smart, and the lights are on until dawn. "
