Chinese Valentine's Day is a traditional Chinese folk festival. So when is it in 2021? What needs to be done on the day? Let’s take a look at the following content!When is Chinese Valentine’s Day in 2021?Saturday, August 14, 2021, the seventh day of the seventh monthThe Chinese Valentine's Day, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, the Seven Sisters Festival, the Daughters' Day, the Qiqiao Festival, the Qinianshui, the Qixi Festival, the Niugong Niupo Day, and the Qiaoxi Festival, is a traditional Chinese folk festival. The Chinese Valentine's Day evolved from the worship of stars and is the traditional birthday of the Seventh Sister. Because the worship of the "Seventh Sister" is held on the seventh night of July, it is named "Chinese Valentine's Day". Worshiping the Seven Sisters, praying for blessings and making wishes, begging for skills, watching the Altair and Vega stars, praying for marriage, and storing water for the Qixi Festival are the traditional customs of the Qixi Festival. Through historical development, the Chinese Valentine's Day has been endowed with the beautiful love legend of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", making it a festival that symbolizes love. It is thus considered to be China's most romantic traditional festival. In contemporary times, it has even developed the cultural meaning of "Chinese Valentine's Day". What needs to be done on the day?Threading a needleThe night of the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the Chinese Valentine's Day (Qiqiao Festival). According to tradition, women on earth should set up a banquet in the courtyard and kneel down devoutly to worship the Weaver Girl, begging for blessings of dexterity, wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship. On the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day, women hold five-colored silk threads and nine-hole needles (or five-hole needles, seven-hole needles) arranged in a row and thread the needles continuously under the moonlight. Those who can thread all the needles quickly are said to be "deqiao". Happy spider should be clever The so-called "happy spider responds to the request for cleverness" means putting some fruits and vegetables (mainly cantaloupe, golden melon, clever fruit, peanuts, red dates, etc.) on the fruit bowl. This is usually prepared by adults before threading the needle to pray for cleverness. After "threading the needle to pray for dexterity", everyone opens their eyes to see if there is a "happy spider" weaving a web on the fruit bowl. Whoever finds it first will have good luck. The so-called happy spider is actually a small spider the size of a grain of rice. It can often be seen on some flowers, plants and trees at the turn of summer and autumn. Occasionally, if one crawls on a person or is found in the house, it is considered a sign of good luck and is generally released very carefully. No one will kill it easily. 2021 Chinese Valentine's Day Blessings1. The bright moon and the shining Milky Way, the hearts of the girl and the Weaver Girl are connected.
