Is Valentine's Day in China an ancient Valentine's Day? How did the ancients spend Valentine's Day?

In ancient times, Valentine's Day did exist, and this festival was called Lantern Festival. I don't know when the Lantern Festival will be curfew. Because the world under the night is quiet, but under the cover of the night, many plots can be realized: for example, the "Tang Long coup" in the history of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji used the night to launch a coup against Queen Wei. So the ruler wants to control the night, so there is a curfew.

The so-called "curfew" means that people are not allowed to walk in the street at night. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power, a minister suggested that he sacrifice to Taiyi God to protect the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. The priest told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that God Taiyi would be sacrificed on the fifteenth day of the first month. On this day, Emperor Tiandi and all the people lit lamps to celebrate, and Taiyi God blessed the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the fifteenth day of the first month to offer sacrifices to Taiyi God. It is generally believed that the Lantern Festival originated at this time. Chinese Valentine's Day, known as the Seven Qiao Festival in ancient times, originated in the Han Dynasty. At that time, China had a vast territory and rich products, and the customs in different places were different. On the seventh day of July, some local girls and women worship the Weaver Girl, hoping to be as ingenious, sewing fine and ingenious as the Weaver Girl, so it is called Seven Skillful Days.

There is also a local custom of taking married daughters home on this day, so this day is called' Daughter's Day'. In addition, some state and county literati, in order to show their books and literary talent, take out their books to dry on this day, also known as the "book drying festival."
