Of course, the activities may be different in each region.2. Worshiping the Weaver Girl means preparing offerings and then placing a table in the yard, putting the offerings on the table and worshiping the Weaver Girl. After the worship, everyone should sit at the table, eating melon seeds and peanuts together, hoping that everything will go well in the coming year. 3. Of course, not all regions eat Qiaoguo. Generally, in Zhejiang, Qiaoguo is made and then placed on the table in the evening. The whole family sits around the table and eats Qiaoguo, which represents the expectation for a better life. 4. However, nowadays couples usually go out to have a meal together, and then the boys will prepare flowers for the girls, and the girls will also carefully prepare a gift for the boys, so that they can spend a romantic Valentine's Day together. |
