Welcome to Shuimoxiansheng.com's special feature on the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2021.Is the real Chinese Valentine's Day the Qixi Festival?Qixi Festival is China's Valentine's Day, but in fact, Qixi Festival and Valentine's Day had nothing to do with each other at the beginning.This is because through historical development, the Chinese Valentine's Day has been endowed with the beautiful love legend of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl". Because it has been endowed with connotations related to love, it has become a festival symbolizing love, and is thus considered to be a very romantic traditional festival in China. In contemporary times, it has even developed the cultural meaning of "Chinese Valentine's Day". That’s why Qixi Festival is called Chinese Valentine’s Day. According to ancient literature, the Chinese Valentine's Day is mainly a festival for begging for cleverness and making wishes. It is equivalent to a large-scale prayer festival for women.

Women who have children just pray that their children will be smart and healthy. How many real Valentine's Days are there in China?There are actually three main Valentine's Days in China: the Lantern Festival, the Shangsi Festival and the Chinese Valentine's Day.The 15th day of the first lunar month: Lantern Festival The Lantern Festival is also a romantic festival among Chinese traditional festivals. In the feudal traditional society, young girls were not allowed to go out freely, but they could go out and play in groups during the festival. Viewing the lanterns on the Lantern Festival is a good opportunity for socializing, and unmarried men and women can also look for their partners while viewing the lanterns. During the Lantern Festival, it is an opportunity for young men and women to meet their lovers. Therefore, the Lantern Festival can be said to be the authentic Chinese Valentine's Day. The third day of the third lunar month: Shangsi Festival One of the main activities of the Shangsi Festival is the meeting of men and women, which is the "Valentine's Day" for men and women to express their love. "The Book of Songs·Zhengfeng·Zhinwei" says: "Zhin and Wei, their waters are clear and clear. Gentlemen and ladies are numerous. The woman said, "Let's go and see." The man said, "Okay." Let's go and see. Beyond the Wei River, there is true happiness and joy. The man and the woman were about to joke, and the man gave the woman a spoon of medicine. The seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar: Chinese Valentine's Day When talking about China's Valentine's Day, we must not ignore the Chinese Valentine's Day. Although the Chinese Valentine's Day was not a Valentine's Day at the beginning, with the development of the times, and because it has been given meanings related to love, the Chinese Valentine's Day is also called China's Valentine's Day. |
