What is Qixi Festival?

Begging for skills on the Qixi Festival has always been an elegant affair among women. On this day, any woman who wants to become a skilled woman would beg the Weaver Girl for skills. If you want to be a good housewife, you must have clever ideas. Therefore, all arrangements and displays during the begging ceremony should be exquisite.
1. Some people put malt or bean sprouts on water in a bowl, which is called floating needle to test luck. If the shadow in the water looks like a pen tip or a shoe sole, it is considered that luck has been achieved.
2. Some people weave bamboo strips into a tall building, decorate it with colored paper, paint pictures of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on the upper and lower floors of the building, cover the left, right and back with paper, and the front with red gauze, and put a spider inside. They call it a Qiaolou and put it in the courtyard for people to admire, worship and pray for cleverness. If the spider weaves a web inside, it is considered to be lucky. Some people put a basin of water outside the window, scatter flower petals on the water surface, and pray for cleverness from the Weaver Girl.
3. Some people put spiders in a dressing box and open it the next morning to judge whether it is a lucky draw based on the density of the spider's web.
4. Some people fill a basin with water, put it under the scorching sun, and after the water film is formed, float the needle on the water surface and use the sunlight to check the shadow of the needle. If the underwater needle shadow is in the shape of clouds, patterns, birds, animals, shoes, scissors, etc., it is called a lucky one.
