When is Beggar's Day? When is the Beggar's Day in the lunar calendar?

Begging for Qiaojie refers to the night of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.

Begging for the Skillful Festival refers to the girls begging for a pair of skillful hands from the Weaver Girl, praying that they are beautiful, have a pair of skillful hands and marry a husband, which is the beautiful wish of their daughters. The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is a traditional festival for the Han nationality in China. Because the main participants in the activity are young girls, and the content of the festival activities is mainly begging skills, people call this day "begging skills festival" or "Qixi" or "Daughter's Day".

Qixi Qiqiao originated in the Han Dynasty. Ge Hong's Miscellaneous Notes on Xijing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty records that "women in the Han Dynasty often wear seven-hole needles on July 7 in the building, and everyone wears them", which is the earliest record of begging for cleverness 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.
