The seventh month of the lunar calendar is the hottest time of summer in China and is also called Mengqiu, Lanyue, etc. If you want to know more about the seventh month of the lunar calendar, please follow Mr. Shui Mo’s website!When is Chinese Valentine’s Day in 2021?The dates for the Chinese Valentine's Day in 2021 are:August 14, 2021, Saturday, Leo (solar calendar); July 7, 2021, lunar calendar (lunar calendar) 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 "dividing stars" in astronomy and "dividing fields" in geography. The record of the geographical divisions corresponding to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl constellations can be found in the "Book of Han·Geography": "The Yue area is the division between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl." Introduction to the traditional customs of Qixi Festival?Speaking of the customs of the Chinese Valentine's Day, I believe everyone is familiar with it. Because our country has a vast territory, the customs of the Chinese Valentine's Day in different regions are more or less different.However, the most common custom on the Chinese Valentine's Day is begging for cleverness. On the seventh day of July, young girls will perform various activities to beg for cleverness at night. In ancient times in our country, on the night of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month (or the night of the sixth day of the seventh lunar month), young girls wearing new clothes would beg the Weaver Girl for wisdom and skill in the courtyard, which was called "begging 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 on display to beg for skill. The ways of begging for skill in different regions are different and interesting in their own way. In modern times, threading a needle, steaming buns, baking fruits, growing sprouts, and decorations made of dough, paper cutting, and colorful embroidery are all extensions of the custom of begging for skills. |
