What are the customs of Valentine's Day in China? At least three?
1, Xiangqiao Club:
In Yixing, Jiangsu Province, there is the custom of the Qixi Xiangqiao Festival. Every year on Tanabata, someone will participate and build a fragrant bridge. The so-called incense bridge is a bridge about four or five meters long and half a meter wide, made of all kinds of thick and long incense. It is equipped with railings and decorated with flowers made of five-color lines.
At night, people offered sacrifices to the binary star, prayed for good luck, and then burned the incense bridge, symbolizing that the binary star had crossed the incense bridge and met happily. This fragrant bridge originated from the legendary magpie bridge legend.
2. Smart:
Skillful fighting on Chinese Valentine's Day is a kind of "divination" method to judge whether a boxer is skillful or not, which mainly includes several forms, such as "asking cleverness through needles", "liking spiders to be clever", "threading needles on the moon", "losing cleverness" and "throwing needles to try cleverness".
3, swim Seven Sisters water:
According to folklore, on Qixi, seven fairies will descend from the sky and bathe in the river. At this time, because the river is polluted with fairy gas, washing will not only bring peach blossom luck, but also prevent diseases.
People in Baise and Jingxi of Guangxi believe that the water on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is very holy and clean. The water on Tanabata can not only ward off evil spirits and diseases, but also make them happy in love and life. This custom is related to the legend that the local seven fairies descended to the world to bathe.
