What are the customs of the Qixi Festival?1. Worship the Seventh Sister The Qinniang Festival on July 7 is often called "Worship the Seventh Sister" in Guangdong. Before the founding of New China, "Qixi" was a grand festival for women. In the old days, women would "beg for skill" from the Seventh Sister, asking 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." In the old days, the Qiqiao Festival in Guangdong was very lively.2. Competition of Cleverness On the Qixi Festival, there are several methods of "divination" to judge the cleverness of the contestants. There are mainly "threading a needle to pray for cleverness", "the spider responding to the call for cleverness", "threading a needle facing the moon", "losing cleverness", "competing for cleverness on the orchid night" and "testing cleverness by throwing a needle". 3. To find a marriage partner, on a clear summer or autumn night, the sky is full of shining stars, and a Milky Way stretches across the north and south. On the east and west banks of the Milky Way, there is a shining star on each side, facing each other across the river. They are Altair and Vega. Countless lovers in the world will pray to the starry sky for a happy marriage when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day. 4.
