In a few days, it will be the 14th of every month. Although each month corresponds to a Valentine's Day, February 14th is the most watched and recognized Valentine's Day of the year. So, what is so special about this day? How should couples spend it in 2020, which is affected by the epidemic? Let’s find out together. A year's plan begins in spring, and almost every day in the first month of the lunar year is a festival. InkMr.com's special topic for the first month of 2020 lists these traditional Chinese festivals and customs for you.What does Valentine's Day mean?Valentine's Day, also known as St. Valentine's Day or St. Valentine's Day, is held on February 14th of each year and is one of the traditional Western festivals. This is a festival about love, romance, flowers, chocolates and greeting cards. Men and women give each other gifts on this day to express their love or friendship. Valentine's Day dinner dates often represent a pivotal moment in a couple's relationship. It has now become a favorite festival among young people in Europe and the United States, and has also become popular in other countries.The origin of the name Valentine's DayBrewer’s Dictionary of Epigrams and Fables says: “Saint Valentine was a Roman priest, imprisoned for his assistance to persecuted Christians. He was converted to Christianity . . . and was bludgeoned to death on the 14th day of February . . . ”The ancient custom of celebrating Valentine's Day is related to Valentine, but it is purely coincidental. In fact, the festival is likely related to the ancient Roman Lupercalia or the mating season of birds. Valentine's Day is characterized by couples giving gifts to each other. Today, people like to express their feelings through Valentine's cards. Valentine cards usually feature images of Cupid, a heart shot by an arrow, etc. ” Regarding the relationship between Cupid and Valentine’s Day, the above dictionary says: “Cupid (Latin cupido, meaning desire, love), the Roman god of love, is equivalent to the Greek god of love Eros. He is usually represented by a cute little boy with two wings on his back, his eyes covered by a cloth, and holding a bow and arrow.” The World Book Encyclopedia provides further information indicating that there are many different opinions about the origin of Valentine's Day. The encyclopedia states: “It is said that during the year 200 AD, the Roman Emperor Claudius II forbade young men to marry. He believed that unmarried men made better soldiers. A priest named Valentine violated the emperor’s order and secretly performed weddings for young men. … Valentine is rumored to have been executed on February 14, 269 AD. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, in 496 AD, Pope St. Gilasius I abolished Lupercalia in the late fifth century AD and designated February 14 as Saint Valentine’s Day.” This holiday is now popular as “Saint Valentine’s Day”—also known as Valentine’s Day. People began to commemorate this day after the 14th century. Now, this day, translated as "Valentine's Day" in Chinese, is called Valentine's Day in English to commemorate him. What to do on Valentine's Day in 2020?Let's first look at the old almanac for this day:Lunar calendar: 21st day of the first month of 2020 Gregorian calendar: Friday, February 14, 2020 【Today’s lunar calendar is suitable】 Pray for blessings, get married, migrate, bring in wealth, move into a new house, build a stove, accept a bride, recruit a son-in-law, offer sacrifices, fast and pray, build, seek an heir, lift the groundbreaking ceremony, take up a post, erect pillars, plant, issue a certificate, capture and enroll in school [Today’s taboos in the almanac] It can be seen from the almanac that this day is suitable for matters such as repairing graves, burying beds, laying down wood, raising beams, taking in livestock, building houses, drilling travel channels, breaking ground and opening businesses. However, since it is not suitable for travel, it is better to avoid going out. So, what should couples who can’t go out on a date do? 1. Order and mail flowers and chocolates <br /> Book the gift he/she likes online, then choose a box of chocolates and a bouquet of roses. This Valentine's Day, even if you are not together, you can still have an extremely warm time. 2. Long phone calls: sweet nothings <br /> We love each other, even though we are thousands of miles apart on Valentine's Day. The two of them can spend a warm holiday by chatting on the phone for a long time with each other over affectionate phone calls. After the phone call, we continued chatting online. 3. Play online games together: love in the virtual world <br /> Did you prepare a love surprise for your lover on this romantic Valentine's Day? Then play love games online together! We recommend online games such as Audition and Fantasy Westward Journey. If you don't like playing, you can also choose video games such as Video Landlord. 4. DIY puzzle of lovers' photos <br /> Choose some sellers who make puzzles on Taobao and provide them with your best and most romantic photos. Then on Valentine's Day, the seller will send one copy to each of you. You can do the puzzle at home while eating the chocolates sent by the other party even though you are separated by distance. After finishing the puzzle, you can go online to video chat and show each other your work. This creative idea will definitely help you spend a warm Valentine's Day in a different place. 5. Sending selfies to each other on the phone <br /> We are far apart and cannot spend Valentine's Day together, but we will find ways to see each other, such as sending photos on the phone. I would go shopping, cook lots of food, and send him pictures every half hour! I would also be able to see how he was doing and of course his smiling face. We have always enjoyed this method. Without him on Valentine's Day, the photos on my phone make me feel better. |
