Why do we pray for wisdom on the Chinese Valentine’s Day?Begging for skills is an ancient Chinese custom and is also a custom of the Chinese Valentine's Day (formerly known as the Qiqiao Festival).From the first day to the seventh night of the seventh lunar month (seven days and eight nights), young girls dressed in new clothes beg the Weaver Girl for wisdom and skill in the courtyard, which is called "begging for skill". It is said that the Seventh Sister is an expert weaver from heaven. In the old days, women would "beg for skills" from the Seventh Sister, begging her to teach them the skillful craft. In fact, the so-called "begging for skill" is nothing more than "competing for skill". Most ways of begging for skill are for girls to thread a needle to test their skill, make some small items to compete in skill, and place some fruits and vegetables to beg for skill. The traditional folk ways of begging for skill in different places are different and interesting in their own way. In modern times, threading a needle, steaming Qiao steamed buns, baking Qiao fruit, growing Qiao sprouts, and decorations made of dough modeling, paper cutting, and colorful embroidery are also extensions of the custom of begging for skills. In addition, young girls in ancient times would also worship the Weaver Girl on this day. Because the Weaver Girl is the weaving goddess in the myth, the girls would beg the Weaver Girl to give them a smart mind and dexterous hands on this day so that they can master knitting and sewing techniques, and also beg for a good match in love and marriage. In Ge Hong's "Miscellaneous Notes of Western Capital" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there is a record that "beautiful women in the Han Dynasty often thread seven-hole needles in the Kaijin Tower on July 7th, and everyone is used to it." This is the earliest record of begging for cleverness that we have seen in ancient documents. In later Tang and Song Dynasty poetry, women's begging for skills were often mentioned. He Ning of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem saying "The dim stars are adorned with pearly light, and the palace maids are busy begging for skills on the Qixi Festival." According to "Kaiyuan Tianbao Yishi", Emperor Taizong of Tang and his concubines held banquets in the Qing Palace on the Qixi Festival every year, and the palace maids each begged for skills. This custom has been enduring among the Chinese people and has been passed down from generation to generation. Do you want to know your own Bazi? Want to figure out where your golden marriage is?
