Valentine's Day in China is an ancient women's day. How did they spend the day?

On Valentine's Day, a special festival in China, ancient women would do the following three things in one day. Things 1: Go to the temple and make a wish. You know, Valentine's Day in China is also called Begging Festival, so many women will go to the temple to make a wish on this day, hoping that they will become ingenious. The second thing is to dress up and go shopping. In ancient times, you couldn't just go out. On Tanabata, women can go shopping with their parents' consent and accompanied by their families. This is a very rare opportunity to go out and see the outside world. The third thing is to take out the books at home to dry.

Make a wish on Tanabata. In ancient times, a woman without talent was virtuous. So what kind of woman can be considered to have both ability and political integrity? You must be careful, you must be tolerant, you must be smart, and you must be able to sew. But how can there be so many ingenious people in this world? Therefore, on Tanabata, many women will go to the temple to make a wish, hoping that they can have a pair of skillful hands and a delicate heart, so as to become a qualified lady.

Dress up. We often use the phrase "the front door can't get out, but the second door can't get out" to describe a good family. From this sentence, we can also know that ancient women seldom went out, especially the lovely daughters of rich families. So ladies will not go out shopping easily, but on Tanabata, wives of big families can go out shopping. Therefore, in Chinese Valentine's Day, many women will dress themselves up and go to the market to show their beauty.

Putting out the books at home to dry a lot of ladies or marrying a woman's wife will help her family and husband do a very special thing on Tanabata. Is to take out the books at home and put them in the yard to dry. July 7th is the end of summer, so it can be said that Wan Li is cloudless and sunless, suitable for drying books. Rich people or officials in the family will ask the women in the family to help with the books.
