China generally refers to the traditional festival Qixi as "China's Valentine's Day". In ancient times, the celebration of Qixi was already very common, but the traditional celebration of Qixi had nothing to do with activities such as dating between lovers. It was just a festival to worship the seven sisters, pray for blessings, make wishes, and beg for skills. Later, the Qixi Festival was endowed with the love legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, making it a festival symbolizing love. In recent years, young Chinese people have begun to celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day in the same way as Valentine's Day in the West, but the content has nothing to do with traditional customs.

What are the Valentine's Day customs in other countries?

United States <br /> On this day, when a man says "Happy Valentine's Day" to his female friends, it no longer has any special emotional connection, but has gradually evolved into a form of greeting in public. But men are less likely to greet another man in this way in public. Although Valentine's Day is not a public holiday in the United States, American office workers who value the festive atmosphere will mostly squeeze out time to spend the holiday with their lovers and family by taking vacations, asking for leave or leaving get off work early. Especially some successful people, that is, the so-called wealthy families in the upper class, they attach great importance to the family atmosphere of festivals.
Australia <br /> In Australia, the most important holidays are New Year's Day and Labor Day. Valentine's Day and Christmas are slightly less important than the first two holidays. However, Australians live a slow pace and like to enjoy life. Therefore, no matter what holiday it is, celebrating with dinner and party is indispensable. Moreover, everyone who works on Valentine's Day will be paid double their salary, but most Australians will not give up enjoying life for overtime pay.
Italy <br /> A day for confession of love is not necessarily a day for gifts. Unmarried women are the most special. They get up early on Valentine's Day, stand silently in front of the window, and wait for the first man they see passing by to appear. In addition, a special Valentine's Day ceremony is popular in Rome. On Valentine's Day, lovers go to the Milvio Bridge in Rome and hang a lock symbolizing their love on the lamppost on the bridge. Afterwards, the lovers threw the keys into the river under the bridge to show that they would never be separated in their lives.
United Kingdom <br /> Valentine's Day became popular starting in the 17th century. Italian couples send little notes of love to each other on Juliet's Wall of Love. In the UK, Valentine's Day activities are also rich and colorful. Compared with the cheerful and outgoing Americans, the more introverted British people pay more attention to using the festival to express their emotions and celebrate it properly. Similar to the situation in the United States or China, Valentine's Day gifts in the UK are mostly flowers, chocolates, stuffed teddy bears, etc. Occasionally, men will give women more expensive gifts such as jewelry, etc., but it is not common. Flowers and chocolates are still people's first choice of gifts.
