They tie colorful threads and thread a seven-hole needle. Whoever threads faster means more skills that one can beg for. The one who threads slower is called "loser". The "loser" has to give the gift prepared in advance to the one who gets the skill. "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" said: "The women of the Han Dynasty often threaded seven-hole needles in the Kaijin Tower on the seventh day of the seventh month, and everyone was accustomed to it." Liang Zongmou of the Southern Dynasty wrote in Jingchu Sui Shi Ji: "On the seventh day of the seventh month, women in the family would make a colorful tower and pierce seven holes in it, or use gold, silver or stone as needles." Geography said: "Emperor Wu of Qi built a multi-story tower, and on the seventh day of the seventh month, many palace ladies would go up there to pierce needles. People called it the Needle Threading Tower." Wang Renyu of the Five Dynasties wrote in "Kaiyuan Tianbao Yishi" that "On the seventh night of the seventh month, the palace built a palace with brocade, a hundred feet high, which could accommodate dozens of people. Fruits, wine and roasted vegetables were laid out, and seats were set up to worship the two stars of Niu and Nv. The concubines each used a nine-hole needle and five-colored thread to thread it towards the moon. Those who passed through it were considered to have good luck. The Qingshang music was played, and the feast lasted until dawn. All the families of the local people followed suit." Yuan Dynasty Tao Zongyi's "Yuanshi Ye Ting Lu" said: "Jiuyintai is the place where people pray for wisdom on the seventh night of the seventh month. At night, the palace maids go up to the stage to thread a nine-tailed needle with colorful silk. The one who finishes first is the winner, and the one who finishes later is the loser. Each of them contributes money to give to the winner."
