How is China Valentine's Day, a traditional love festival in China, rediscovered from its decline?

China Valentine's Day, also known as Begging for Clevership Festival in ancient China, first appeared in the Han Dynasty, on July 7th, when women prayed to Vega for wisdom. The most fundamental reason for its origin is respect for nature. Later, with the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the Begging Festival was also covered with a romantic color. Later, as people defined Valentine's Day in China as Valentine's Day in China, this traditional festival reappeared in public view.

The Origin of Valentine's Day in China

According to historical records, China's Valentine's Day first appeared in the book Miscellanies of Xijing, which described a woman in the Han Dynasty who liked to wear seven-hole clothes on July 7th, and then all the girls around her followed suit. This is the earliest origin of Qiao Qi. Its meaning is not to praise love, but to express reverence for nature. According to records, as early as three or four thousand years ago, people at that time had already studied astronomy, and textile technology had also made progress. The existence of Vega had long been recorded. Moreover, the seven periods are homophonic and have the feeling of time, so begging is also a respect for time.

Later, in the poems of Tang and Song Dynasties, the programs about being clever were repeatedly mentioned. In the notes of the first year of Tianbao, Emperor Taizong would join the concubines in the harem for good luck. At this time, the ladies-in-waiting are also begging for good luck. Since then, this activity has been enduring among the people. Song dynasty was very clever, and it has developed quite grandly. Even in Beijing, there are special places to sell Qiao Qi goods. This market is called Church City. People began to buy what they needed for the beggar's day in July 1 day. Especially when Chinese Valentine's Day approaches, the Georgians come and go and are very busy.

The Love Story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl

Later, the girls believed the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on Beggars' Day, so they looked up at the stars every year on Tanabata, secretly expecting when their Mr. Right would come back. Later, due to the close international cultural exchanges, Western Valentine's Day was introduced to China, and the corresponding Valentine's Day in China became Valentine's Day in China.
