The Chinese Valentine's Day, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, the Qiqiao Festival or the Seventh Sisters' Birthday, originated in China and is one of the important traditional folk festivals. It is also a traditional festival in East Asian countries, celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar (Japan changed it to July 7th in the Gregorian calendar after the Meiji Restoration), and comes from the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. On the Qixi Festival, the main activities of Chinese girls include threading a needle to pray for dexterity, praying for wisdom by spiders, throwing a needle to test one's luck, planting seeds to pray for children, offering sacrifices to "Mohele", worshiping the Weaver Girl, worshiping Kuixing, drying books and clothes on the sun, and celebrating the Ox's birthday. The custom of begging for skills in Juancheng, Caoxian, Pingyuan and other places is very interesting: seven good girls collect grain and vegetables to make dumplings, and put a copper coin, a needle and a red date into three dumplings respectively. After the begging for skills activity, they gather together to eat dumplings. It is said that whoever eats the money will be blessed, whoever eats the needle will be dexterous, and whoever eats the date will get married early.
