Men and women give each other gifts on this day to express their love or friendship. Valentine's Day dinner dates often represent a key development in a relationship. When is Chinese Valentine's Day?China generally refers to the traditional festival Qixi as "China's Valentine's Day". Qixi Festival originated in the Western Han Dynasty and reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. In ancient times, the Chinese Valentine's Day was a festival exclusively for beautiful girls. Among the many folk customs of Qixi Festival, some have gradually disappeared, but quite a few have been continued by people. In fact, the Chinese Valentine's Day is not to commemorate the love between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but it originated from the worship of the star (Wu Nu). Wu Nu later evolved into a goddess in mythology, also known as "Seventh Sister" or "Seventh Niangma" among the people. The Chinese Valentine's Day is a women's festival. The Weaver Girl is regarded as the goddess of weaving and is also the patron saint of lovers, women and children. July 7 is the Weaver Girl's birthday. On the night of the seventh day of the seventh month, women on earth would beg her for wisdom and skills, and would also ask for a happy marriage. The Qixi Festival is a time to pray to the Seventh Sister (Vega) for dexterity and for a happy marriage and a happy family. In the old days, beautiful girls would "beg for skill" from the Seventh Sister, begging her to teach them a skill that was clever and dexterous. In fact, the so-called "begging for skill" was nothing more than a "competition of skill". Through historical development, the Chinese Valentine's Day has been endowed with the beautiful love legend of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", making it a festival that symbolizes love. It is thus considered to be China's most romantic traditional festival. In contemporary times, it has even developed the cultural meaning of "Chinese Valentine's Day". |
