What customs and activities are there on the Chinese Valentine’s Day?

Qixi Festival custom activity 1: Girls washing their hair
It is also a special custom for girls to wash their hair on the Chinese Valentine's Day. Young girls in many areas like to wash their hair with tree sap mixed with water during the Chinese Valentine's Day. Legend has it that this can not only make women young and beautiful, but also help unmarried girls find their ideal husband as soon as possible.
Qixi Festival custom activity 2: worship Kuixing
The first star of the Big Dipper is called Kuixing, also known as Kuishou. Kuixing is the god in ancient Chinese mythology who dominates the rise and fall of articles. In the minds of ancient students, Kuixing has a supreme status. It is said that July 7th is the birthday of Kuixing. Kuixing is in charge of literary affairs, and scholars who want to achieve fame and success particularly respect Kuixing. Therefore, they worship him on the Qixi Festival, praying for his blessing for good luck in the exams.
The third custom of Qixi Festival: Competition of ingenuity
On the Qixi Festival, there are several methods of "divination" to judge the cleverness of the contestants, including "threading a needle to pray for cleverness", "the spider responding to the call for cleverness", "threading a needle facing the moon", "losing cleverness", "competing in cleverness on the orchid night" and "testing cleverness by throwing a needle".
The fourth custom of Qixi Festival: throwing needles to test your luck
Throwing a needle to test one's skill is a variation of the custom of threading a needle to pray for dexterity on the Qixi Festival. It originated from threading a needle but is different from threading a needle. It was a Qixi festival custom that was popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
