Is there a holiday for Chinese Valentine's Day in 2019?

The 2019 Chinese Valentine's Day falls on Wednesday, August 7, 2019. The Chinese Valentine's Day is on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The Chinese Valentine's Day is not a legal holiday, so there will be no holiday.
The Chinese Valentine's Day is both a festival to worship the Seventh Sister and a love festival. It is a comprehensive festival based on the folk legend of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", with the themes of praying for blessings, begging for skills and love, and women as the main body.
The "Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" of the Chinese Valentine's Day originated from people's worship of natural celestial phenomena. In ancient times, people corresponded astronomical star regions with geographical regions. This correspondence is called "star division" in astronomy.
In terms of geography, it is called "fenye"; the record of the correspondence between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl constellations and the geographical division can be found in the "Book of Han·Geography": "The Yue area is the division between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."

Sacrificial Rituals

1. Place food, bowls, chopsticks, wine glasses, tea and other offerings on the graves of ancestors, and then light three incense sticks in front of the graves.
2. Pour the first glass of wine after lighting the incense. After about 30 minutes or half of the incense is burned, one person will light three incense sticks for the second time and pour the second glass of wine.
3. When the incense is half burned, place offerings to the land god who looks after the grave, and then burn a piece of yellow paper to protect the ancestors from harm.
4. When the three incense sticks have burned out, remove the offerings and leave a small amount of money and other belongings to be burned on other graves to prevent other ghosts from stealing money and clothes from the ancestral graves after the people who visited the graves leave.
Precautions
1. Do not laugh, play, run around or bump into anything around a cemetery. Doing so is not only impolite, but also disrespectful to the ancestors.
Second, it is not advisable to wear bright red or bright green clothes, and pregnant women, the sick, and children under 7 years old should not go to sweep the graves.
3. What is usually said during the sacrifice: what you plan to do at the grave, why you do it, and the hope that the ancestors will bless you, and everything will go smoothly and peacefully.
