The customs of the Qixi Festival in Southern Fujian: scattering flowers and pollen. On the streets of the city, the reporter also saw pollen used to commemorate the Qixi Festival. It is rumored that children will not get prickly heat if they apply it. Mr. Liu Haoran, who is familiar with Quanzhou's folk customs, introduced that it is said that in the past, Quanzhou women would tie up the prepared rouge, powder and bouquets with silk threads early in the morning and then throw them onto the roof. Why this move? It turned out that the purpose was to let the magpie bring the clothes to the seven fairies to dress up. In addition, some glutinous rice should be wrapped in red paper to reward the magpies for transferring pollen and building bridges at night. Customs of the Qixi Festival in Southern Fujian: Girls Begging for Skill and Making Sugar Cakes The custom of Quanzhou women begging for skill mainly involves setting up a colorful basket on the patio, preparing 7 plates of fruits, lighting 7 incense sticks, and using 7 needles and 7 silk threads to compete in threading under the moonlight. Whoever threads more threads and faster proves that the girl has more skillful hands. However, this custom is now rare in Quanzhou.

Add cold water to glutinous rice flour to make a dough, then roll it into balls the size of glass beads, put them on the table, press them lightly with your palm to make them into flat round shapes, and finally press the middle with your thumb to make a sugar cake with a concave center. After the sugar cake is made, boil the water, add sugar and cook for a while. After cooking, sprinkle a layer of peanut kernels on top and serve in a white porcelain bowl. The small hole in the middle of the sugar cake is like the dimple on a girl's face, wishing the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to smile when they meet. Qixi Festival customs: eating Qiaogu (grilled apples) Among the Qixi Festival’s festive foods, Qiaogu (grilled apples) are the most famous. Qiaoguo, also known as "Qiqiao Fruit", comes in many styles. The main ingredient of glutinous rice cake is oil flour and molasses. In "Dongjing Menghualu", it is called "Xiaoyaner" and "Fruit Food Patterns", and the patterns include Naxiang and Fangsheng. During the Song Dynasty, Qixi cookies were already sold on the streets. If you buy a pound of Qiaoguo, you will also get a pair of puppets wearing armor like door gods, known as the "Fruit Generals". The method of making Qixi Qiaoguo is: first melt the sugar in a pot into syrup, then add flour and sesame seeds, mix well and spread it on the table to roll it thin, let it cool, cut it into rectangular blocks with a knife, fold it into spindle-shaped dough embryos, and fry it in oil until golden brown. Dexterous women can also sculpt various patterns related to the Qixi legend. In addition, the fruits and vegetables used when begging for cleverness can also vary in many ways.
