What to do on Valentine's Day?

In ancient times, the most common custom on the Chinese Valentine's Day was begging for cleverness. On the night of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month (or the night of the sixth day of the seventh lunar month), young girls dressed in new clothes would beg the Weaver Girl for wisdom and skill in the courtyard, which was called "begging for skill". Most ways of begging for skill are for girls to thread a needle to test their skill, make some small items to compete in skill, and place some fruits on display to beg for skill. The ways of begging for skill in different regions are different and interesting in their own way. In modern times, threading a needle, steaming Qiao steamed buns, baking Qiao fruit, growing Qiao sprouts, and decorations made of dough modeling, paper cutting, and colorful embroidery are also extensions of the custom of begging for skills.
