The custom of Valentine's Day in China is very simple.

The custom of Valentine's Day in China is as follows:

1, eat seven suitable fruits.

During traditional festivals, food must be an indispensable part. Just like Spring Festival and jiaozi, Dragon Boat Festival and Zongzi, Mid-Autumn Festival and moon cakes, Chinese Valentine's Day naturally has its own unique food-Qixi Fruit. Proper fruit is also called "the fruit of seeking cleverness", and it is called "laughing boy" in Tokyo Dream. Its main materials are oil, flour, sugar and honey, and it will be made into fruits, flowers and plants. According to records, there were seven kinds of fruits on the street in Song Dynasty.

2. Seed production

This is an ancient custom, also known as "five raw pots" or "raw flowerpots", and it is also called "bubble cleverness" in some places in the south. A few days ago, people would spread several layers of soil on wooden boards, plant millet to make them grow green seedlings, and then put some small huts and flowers on them to make them look like small villages. This is the so-called "shell board". Sometimes mung beans, adzuki beans, wheat, etc. are planted in the bowl, and when it grows buds, it is tied into a bundle with red and blue threads.

3. For Niu Hesheng

In the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, in order to help the Cowherd cross the Tianhe River, the old cow asked the Cowherd to peel off his own skin and let the Cowherd cross the Tianhe River with the help of cowhide to meet the Weaver Girl. In memory of the old cow who sacrificed himself, on Qixi, children will pick wild flowers and hang them on the horns to show their respect to the old cow.

4. Worship Weaver Girl

This activity is basically attended by women. On the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, tables and chairs are set under the moonlight, and items such as tea, wine, fruit, five sons (longan, red dates, hazelnuts, peanuts and melon seeds) are placed on the table. Everyone sat around, eating melons and snacks, and silently making wishes to the Weaver Girl.

5. needlework

This should be the earliest way to please, which was recorded in the Han Dynasty. "Miscellanies of Xijing" mentioned: "Women in the Han Dynasty often wear seven holes in Jinkai Building on the seventh day, and people have the ambition of Xi". On Tanabata, women in every household will go out of their homes, get together, take out their own needle and thread, and beg for wisdom by threading the needle and thread.
