Speaking of begging for cleverness on the Chinese Valentine's Day, I believe everyone is familiar with it. Begging for cleverness means that on this day women will beg the Weaver Girl for a pair of skillful hands and good skills, and also beg to be very beautiful. Begging for cleverness on the Chinese Valentine's Day means hoping that they can have a pair of skillful hands and marry a good husband. This is the beautiful wish of daughters. The seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar every year is the traditional Chinese festival of Qiqiao Festival. Because the main participants in the activities on this day are young girls, and the content of the festival activities is mainly about begging for skills, people call this day the "Begging for Skills Festival" or "Qixi Festival" or "Daughter's Day".
But in fact, the so-called "begging for skill" is nothing more than "competing 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 among the Han people in different places are not the same and each has its own interesting features.
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.

Speaking of begging for cleverness, I believe many of my friends have heard of losing cleverness.
The so-called "losing skill" actually refers to begging for skills on the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the one who falls into the needle is considered "losing skill".
After worshipping the gods on the Chinese Valentine's Day, the girls hold colored threads in their hands and thread them through needle holes facing the shadow of a lamp. Those who can thread the thread through seven needle holes in one breath are called "De Qiao" and are known as "Qi Shou", while those who cannot thread the thread through seven needle holes are called "Shu Qiao".
As described by a Tang Dynasty poet: "It is easy to thread a needle facing the moon, but difficult to straighten the thread facing the wind. I wonder who is more skillful, let's try and find out tomorrow." After the worship ceremony, the furnishings on the Eight Immortals Terrace remain unchanged, left for the next day (the seventh day) for the girls to visit and comment on when they visit each other.
After the Chinese Valentine's Day, girls will give each other the small handicrafts and toys they made as a token of friendship.
