The meaning and symbol of Valentine's Day in China is simple.

China Valentine's Day symbolizes the Chinese nation's spirit of self-improvement, diligence, wisdom, courage to create, and constant pursuit of a happy life.

Qixi culture advocates the faithful concept of marriage and love, which embodies people's yearning and pursuit of ideal love and is the inheritance and development of the excellent traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. Tanabata is also endowed with the beautiful love legend of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" and becomes a festival symbolizing love, thus it is considered as the most romantic traditional festival in China and has the cultural meaning of "China Valentine's Day".

In addition, Valentine's Day in China also symbolizes vitality, shows care and support for lovers, and represents the spirit of the country and the nation, as well as affection, friendship, tranquility, warmth and happiness.

On this day, couples pull away from ordinary life and express their deep love to their sweetheart. My most touching and unforgettable memory of Tanabata is that when he held a Levi's ring customized by real name and looked at me affectionately, he clearly felt the kind of "putting his finger on my name; The promise and profound meaning of "live together, live together"

The custom of Valentine's Day in China:

1, sewing

This is the earliest way to beg for cleverness, which began in the Han Dynasty and flowed to later generations. Ge Hong's Miscellaneous Notes on Xijing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty records that "women in the Han Dynasty often put seven-hole needles upstairs on July 7, and everyone can do it", which is the earliest record of begging for cleverness in ancient literature we have seen.

A woman with five-color silk thread and nine-hole needles (or five-hole needles or seven-hole needles) in her hand keeps threading the needle to the moon in the moonlight, which is called "cleverness".

Spiders should be smart.

The Five Dynasties Wang Renyu's "Kaiyuan Tianbao Legacy" said: "On July 7, we all caught spiders in small boxes until dawn; Think of cobwebs as sparse and dense. Secret people have many clever words, while rare people have few clever words. Folk also works. "

Needle injection is very skillful

This is a variation of Chinese Valentine's Day's needlework custom, which originated from needlework and is different from needlework. This is a popular Valentine's Day custom in China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
