So, why do people thread needles to pray for dexterity on the Chinese Valentine’s Day? How to express love on Chinese Valentine’s Day in 2021? The seventh month of the lunar calendar is named Orchid Month because many varieties of orchids bloom in July with an incomparable fragrance. Shuimoxiansheng.com has compiled relevant articles about the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2021. Let’s take a look.Why do people thread needles to pray for dexterity on the Chinese Valentine’s Day?Threading a needle to pray for dexterity is the earliest way of praying for dexterity, which started in the Han Dynasty and spread to later generations. "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."According to him, the custom of women gathering together on the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day to compete in needle threading had already existed in the Han Dynasty, and this activity was held every year in the palace. In addition, the Southern Dynasty Zong Yan's "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" clearly records that "the seventh day of the seventh month is the night when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet" and "on that night, women in the family build colorful towers and thread seven-hole needles, or use gold, silver, jade and stone as needles." From this we can see that this custom was established at the latest during the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420-589 AD), and may even be traced back to the Han Dynasty. Begging for skills was very popular in ancient times, especially among young girls who enjoyed it very much. In fact, it is not just a need to "beg for dexterity". The subconscious of "begging for dexterity" is actually "begging for love", a desire for love, marriage and family - "threading the needle" itself is a metaphor for the marriage between men and women.
