The Chinese Valentine's Day is also known as the "Qiqiao Festival", "Double Seventh Festival" and "Double Seventh Festival". Today, when we are promoting the excellent traditional Chinese culture, we should also call it the "Chinese Valentine's Day". Let's take a closer look at the five do's and two don'ts of the 2022 Chinese Valentine's Day. Why is the Chinese Valentine's Day set on the seventh day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar? For a long time, China's July has been considered a ghost month, an unlucky month. People are also accustomed to regard this month as a month of bad luck. So what will each day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2022 be like? Let's go to Shuimo.com for a detailed understanding.5 Dos and Don'ts for Chinese Valentine's Day 2022【should】Threading a needle to pray for dexterity <br /> On the night of the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, women of the Han nationality would set up a banquet in the courtyard and kneel down devoutly to worship the Weaver Girl, begging for blessings of dexterity, wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship. Celebrating the Ox's Birthday <br /> On the Qixi Festival, children would pick wild flowers and hang them on the horns of oxen, which is also called "celebrating the ox's birthday." Legend has it that after the Queen Mother of the West separated the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl with the Milky Way, the old cow asked the Cowherd to peel off its skin and ride on its hide to see the Weaver Girl so that the Cowherd could cross the Milky Way to see the Weaver Girl. In order to commemorate the old cow’s sacrificial spirit, people have the custom of “celebrating the cow’s birthday”. Drying books and clothes <br /> Liu Yiqing's Shishuo Xinyu Volume 25 says that on July 7, everyone would dry their books, but only Hao Long ran to lie in the sun. When people asked him why, he replied: "I'm drying my books." On the one hand, this is a disdain for the custom of drying books, and on the other hand, it is also a way to boast about one's own talent. Sunbathing your belly means sunbathing your books. The custom of drying clothes in the sun in the Han Dynasty created an opportunity for the wealthy to show off their wealth in the Wei and Jin dynasties. Eating Qiaoguo <br /> Qiaoguo is also known as "Qiqiao Fruit" and comes in many styles. The main ingredients are oil, flour, sugar and honey. In Dongjing Menghualu, it is called "Xiaoyaner" and "Fruit Food Patterns", and the patterns include Naxiang and Fangsheng. Worshiping the Weaver Girl<br /> On the Qixi Festival, after burning incense and worshipping in front of the table, everyone sits around the table together, eating peanuts and melon seeds while facing the Weaver Girl constellation and silently reciting their own thoughts. Young girls who hope to be beautiful or marry a good husband, young women who hope to have a baby soon, etc., can pray silently to the Vega and play until midnight. 【avoid】 Don’t think of bad things on the seventh day <br /> In Taiwan, July is known as the “happy and auspicious” month. The ancients also said: "Don't think about evil things on the seventh day." Qixi Festival is not suitable for mating <br /> There are two very important days in the seventh month of the lunar calendar when sexual abstinence is required, one of which is Qixi Festival. "On the seventh day of this month, be sure to abstain from sexual desire and do not think of evil things. On the fifteenth day, sexual desire will shorten your life." - "Emergency Life Collection" [Qing Dynasty] Cheng Pengcheng Why is Qixi Festival set on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month?The reason why the Chinese Valentine's Day is set on the seventh day of the seventh month is due to the ancient people's worship of the number "seven". The ancients believed that "seven" was an auspicious number and an auspicious symbol.Zhou Chu of the Western Jin Dynasty recorded in "Fengtu Ji": "During the Wei Dynasty, someone asked Dong Xun: 'The seventh day of July is a good day, but the food and drink are different from those in ancient times, why?' Xun said: 'Millet is ripe in July, and the seventh day is a yang number, so millet is considered a treasure.'" The so-called "millet is ripe" means a good harvest. July 7th is a day of harvest and of course an auspicious day, a symbol of good luck. Since the ancients worshipped the number "seven", July 7th has the connotation of auspiciousness and joy, so this day is easily combined with many myths and legends. For example, "Stories of Emperor Wu of Han" records that Emperor Wu of Han met the Queen Mother of the West five times, and each meeting took place on July 7th. The Biographies of Immortals records that the red dragon welcomed Lord Tao An, the immortal Wang Zijiao met his family at the top of Mount Gao, and the immortal Wang Fangping met at the home of Wu Caijing, all on July 7th. In this way, July 7th has evolved into an auspicious and festive day for meeting. |
