What are some ancient poems related to Qixi Festival?

The silver candle lights up the cold painting screen in autumn, and the light silk fan flutters against the fireflies.
The night sky is as cool as water, and I sit and watch the Altair and Vega stars.       Du Mu's "Autumn Eve"
The maid gazed at the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl for a long time and did not want to sleep even when it was late at night. This was because the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl touched her heart, reminded her of her unfortunate life experience, and made her yearn for true love.

Silver candles shine coldly in the autumn painting screen, and the blue sky and clear night are in the quiet pavilion.
Spider silk is used to embroider the needle, and dragon musk is used to burn the golden tripod. Celebrate the wonderful Qixi Festival.
Lying down and watching the Altair and Vega stars, the moon passes over the shadow of the paulownia tree.        Lu Zhi, Intoxicated by the East Wind, Qixi Festival
On the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, and people burn incense to celebrate the festival. Women who longed to be dexterous also took out their needle money and begged for dexterity under the shadow of the paulownia tree to watch the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet.

The thin clouds are playing tricks, the flying stars are conveying hatred, and the Milky Way is passing by in the dark.
When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world.
Tenderness is like water, the good time is like a dream, I can’t help but look back at the Magpie Bridge on the way home.
If the love between two people lasts for a long time, why does it matter if they are together day and night?        Qin Guan's "Magpie Bridge Fairy: Fine Clouds Playing Skillfully"
Love must be able to withstand the test of long-term separation. As long as you can truly love each other, even if you are separated from each other all year round, it is much more valuable than the vulgar interest of being together day and night.

What did ancient women do on the Chinese Valentine’s Day?

In ancient times, girls would thread needles and make small items to pray for cleverness on the Chinese Valentine's Day. They would also place some fruits on display and compete in praying for cleverness. The ways of praying for cleverness in different regions are different, but each is interesting in its own way.
In Lingnan Guangdong, there is a traditional folk custom of worshiping the gods on the Chinese Valentine's Day. Married women are generally not allowed to participate in this activity, but married brides must hold a ceremony to bid farewell to the gods during the Chinese Valentine's Day. When offering sacrifices to the gods on the sixth night of the first lunar month, it means parting with the Girl's Day.
The activities of begging for cleverness in Jinan, Huimin, Gaoqing and other places in Shandong are very simple. They just display melons and fruits to beg for cleverness. If there are spiders weaving webs on the melons and fruits at this time, it means that the begging for cleverness is too much. In Juancheng, Caoxian, Pingyuan and other places, people eat Qiqiao rice, and the custom of Qiqiao is very interesting: seven good girls bring noodles and vegetables, and make dumplings together. They put a copper coin, a needle and a red date into three dumplings respectively. After the Qiqiao activity, they gather together to eat dumplings. It is said that those who eat the money will be blessed, those who eat the needle will be dexterous, and those who eat the date will get married early.
The Chinese Valentine's Day is a festival that has been passed down from ancient times to the present and is becoming more and more respected. Many ancient poets also wrote many poems of praise and admiration, conveying their yearning for love and admiration for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. There are many new forms of Chinese Valentine's Day now, but many customs are still continuing.
