How many Valentine's Days are there in China?

Three, namely Lantern Festival, Shangsi Festival and Chinese Valentine's Day.

1, Lantern Festival

It must be hard for you to believe that Lantern Festival is Valentine's Day, but in ancient times it was really another form of Valentine's Day. Lantern Festival provides an opportunity for unmarried men and women in feudal traditional society to get to know each other. Young girls in traditional society are not allowed to go out for free activities, but they can go out to play together on holidays. Lantern Festival lanterns are just an opportunity to make friends, and unmarried men and women can also find their own partners by the way. In addition, during the Lantern Festival, it is also an opportunity for young women to meet their lovers. This is also an important reason why Lantern Festival became the first ancient Valentine's Day.

2. Shangsi Festival

Shangjie Festival is the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar. According to the regulations of Zhou Li, a good woman who was not married in ancient times was not allowed to go out and walk around casually. Therefore, watching the Lantern Festival and going for an outing on March 3 have become one of the few opportunities for unmarried women to go out to play. In ancient times, one of the main activities last Sunday was to meet men and women, that is, Valentine's Day when men and women expressed their love. However, this festival has been gradually forgotten by people.

3. Chinese Valentine's Day

China Valentine's Day on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is one of the most famous traditional Valentine's Days in China. The Sunseeker Festival began in the Western Han Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. This is an exclusive festival for ancient women. The legendary story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl adds a lot of romance to this festival, making it a festival symbolizing love.
