Because everyone yearns for the faithful love of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet, is designated as the Chinese Valentine's Day. Of course, some places say that the Qixi Festival is mainly to commemorate the birthday of the seventh sister. The Seventh Sisters’ Birthday is also known as the Seventh Sisters’ Meeting, the Seventh Sisters’ Birthday, etc. The Seventh Sister (Vega) is the weaver of clouds and the textile industry. She is the patron saint of lovers, women and children. July 7 is her birthday. Before the founding of New China, "Seventh Sister's Birthday" was a grand festival for beautiful girls. The main activities of "Qijie's Birthday" (Qiniangma's Birthday) include praying for blessings and making wishes, begging for skills, praying for marriage, and protecting children's safety. Activities like worshipping the Seven Sisters have been forgotten, and only a very small number of clan associations still set up incense tables to worship the Seven Sisters on this festival. The incense tables are usually prepared on the seventh day of the seventh month, and people start praying for blessings and cleverness from the Seven Sisters in the evening.
