You can learn more about the seventh month of the lunar calendar on Shuimo.com, so come and pay attention!What can’t you do on Valentine’s Day? Taboos on Chinese Valentine's Day1. Do not do evil. In the eyes of ancient people, "seven" and "lucky" are homophones, and "seven seven" means double luck. It can be said that Qixi Festival is a super auspicious day. Therefore, the ancients also said: "Don't think about evil things on the seventh day." On such a double auspicious day, don't even think about bad things, let alone do bad things.2. You cannot have sexual intercourse. The Qixi Festival is the moral La day. In ancient times, the La day was the day to worship ancestors and gods. Taoism inherited the ancient La day customs. Those who violate the customs on this day will have their salaries and titles removed. Therefore, this day is not suitable for mating between men and women, otherwise it will reduce their fortune, luck and longevity. 3. You can’t get married. Qixi Festival was a taboo day among the people before the Han Dynasty. According to the 155th slip of the "Daily Book" of the Yunmeng Shuihudi Qin Bamboo Slips, which records the taboo anniversary of "marrying a wife", the gist of the slip says that on the days of Wushen and Siyou, the happy event of Altair marrying Vega did not take place. If a man marries a woman on such a day, she will be divorced within three years. This proves that the legend that Altair and Vega were unable to marry because of the barrier of the Milky Way influenced the folk customs of the people and formed a time taboo on marriage among the people. 4. You cannot eat food with wings. You cannot eat birds, including chickens and ducks with wings. You can guess this taboo, because July 7 is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge, and the magpie is a bird. Eating birds with wings on this day is very unlucky, which may lead to bad marriage in the future. A collection of poems about the Chinese Valentine's Day1. A sudden cool breeze cools the courtyard and the sky looks like water, with a jade hook hanging in the distance. It must be the stars that are lamenting the long delay, reminiscing about the old covenant, and ready to start driving. As far as the eye can see, there are dark clouds and the bright Milky Way is hanging high in the sky. ——Liu Yong, "Erlang Shen: The Falling Flame"2. Across the water, the love is so deep that it cannot be expressed in words. ——Nineteen ancient poems. "Altair" 3. A faint moon hangs dimly in the misty sky, and the Milky Way remains the same in autumn forever. How much joy and sorrow are there in this night year after year. ——Bai Juyi, "Qixi Festival" 4. Willows are outside the smoke and water is outside the lake. The mountain eyebrows are light green and the moon eyebrows are yellow. --clear. Yao Xie, "The Qixi Festival on a Boat at Hanzhuang Sluice Gate" 5. The magpie carriage on the star bridge is only seen after many years, and the love and sorrow of parting are hard to get rid of. ——Li Qingzhao's "Xingxiangzi·Qixi Festival" 6. It is easy to thread a needle facing the sun, but difficult to straighten the needle facing the wind. ——Tang Dynasty. Zu Yong "Qixi" 7. Unable to cross the shallow water, we can only stare at each other from afar. ——Tang Dynasty. Meng Jiao's Qixi Festival 8. The copper kettle leaks heralds the dawn, and I feel melancholy that another good time has passed. ——Tang Dynasty. Luo Yin's Qixi Festival 9. The night sky is as cool as water, and I sit and watch the Altair and Vega stars. ——Tang Dynasty. Du Mu's "Autumn Eve" 10. When I meet the Chinese Valentine's Day in a foreign land, I feel more depressed staying in the hotel. I don’t see the needlewoman anymore, and I miss my hometown in vain. ——Meng Haoran, "The Seventh Night in a Foreign Land" |
