What does it mean to beg for wisdom?

Begging for Qiao is a traditional festival with a long history in China. Every year on Qixi (the seventh day of the seventh lunar month), girls beg Vega for her intelligence. Begging for cleverness originated from ancient sacrificial customs. The initial sacrifice was to worship the gods, and women prayed for wisdom and skillful hands at this time. Then, the festival gradually developed into a celebration of begging for the protection of the weaver girl in order to gain wisdom and skills. Nowadays, the Begging for Cleverness Festival has become one of the important contents of China traditional culture, with profound folk customs and cultural connotations.

The most distinctive feature of Qiao Qi culture is the "Seven Sisters Club". Seven Sisters Club is a women's social group. In Seven Sisters Club, women can learn skills and experience in embroidery, flower weaving, paper cutting and knitting. And you can compete with each other and run folk skills. On Tanabata, women in Seven Sisters will tidy up their clothes, dress themselves up beautifully, step on soft reed leaves and celebrate Tanabata happily in the fields.

The word "please" probably came into being because women in the past lacked opportunities for education and self-expression. Today, in this traditional festival, we relive and inherit an optimistic, positive, United and cooperative spirit, which is also a way to preserve and carry forward traditional culture. From it, we can feel the long history of China culture, its profound connotation and endless power to evolve and shape ourselves.
