It can be said that the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is a traditional festival with a long history in China.

The Chinese Valentine's Day is derived from the worship of stars. It is the birthday of the Seventh Sister in the traditional sense. Because the event of worshiping the "Seventh Sister" is held on the seventh night of July, it is named "Qixi Festival".

Worshiping the Seventh Sister, praying for blessings and wishes, begging for skills, sitting and watching the Altair and Vega, praying for marriage, and storing water for the Chinese Valentine's Day are traditional customs of the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Among the people, eating Qiaoguo means July is also called Qiaoyue, and Chinese Valentine's Day is also called Qiaoxi.

Qiaoguo must also be eaten on this day to mark the season.

Qiaoguo is made by frying flour and sugar in oil. It tastes crispy, fragrant and delicious, so eating Qiaoguo means begging for luck.

During Qixi Festival, most women pick cypress leaves and peach branches to make soup and wash their hair.

Therefore, when the weather is dry and it is easy to wash, using it to wash your hair will make it fresh and smooth, not dirty or greasy.

At dawn, the rising sun is shining and the cool breeze is blowing, making picking particularly convenient.

Therefore, most people have a grand scene of women picking cypress leaves on July 7th.

Washing and washing utensils on July 7th, drying books and clothes.

Washing hair and all toiletries are also popular among the people.

1. Customs of the Chinese Valentine's Day 1. When waiting for the Chinese Valentine's Day, look for magpies on the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Strangely enough, every year around the Chinese Valentine's Day, no matter whether the magpies really fly into the sky to build the Bird Bridge or not, in order to verify the authenticity of the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, children often cannot find the debt collectors in the countryside no matter how hard they look.

A few magpies came out.

2. After dinner in the evening, hide under the grape trellis, the flower trellis, or the cucumber trellis, and listen carefully to see if the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are whispering.

3. At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, you can't sleep for a long time. If you are lucky and it is a clear night, you can see the Nantian Gate open at night, and various gods and goddesses come out to show their saints.

If you make a wish to the sky at this time, the gods will hear it, be in a good mood, and show mercy, and basically it will come true!

4. Fighting for cleverness.

In fact, in the field, you pull out a few plantain tassels and cross them to see which one breaks first and which one stays intact.

The one who cuts off loses, the one who keeps on winning.

This kind of game is mostly played by girls, and the happiness of childhood is always so simple.
