According to the recollections of elderly people who participated in the "Worship the Seven Sisters" activity during the Republic of China period, the "Worship the Seven Sisters" activity was particularly popular in the Xiguan area of Guangzhou. The activity is usually carried out among young girls and young women (men and elderly women can only watch from the side and perform rituals and worship), and a dozen close sisters are organized in advance to prepare for "worshiping the Seventh Sister". 3.

In the old days, women would "beg for skill" from the Seventh Sister, asking her to teach them a skill that was clever and dexterous; in fact, the so-called "begging for skill" was nothing more than a "competition of skill." Because "begging for cleverness" is an important custom of the Seventh Sister's Birthday, it is also called the "Begging for Cleverness Festival." 4. Women's Day The main customs of the Qixi Festival are young girls worshiping gods, begging for skills, and competing in skills, so it is called Women's Day, also known as Daughters' Day and Girls' Day.

Qiaoguo is made by frying flour and sugar in oil. It tastes crispy and delicious. Eating Qiaoguo symbolizes the wish of begging for cleverness.2. Lighting lotus lanterns: It is a custom of the Qixi Festival in Yiling, Hubei Province. Every household lights lotus lanterns during the Qixi Festival. First, take a complete and broad lotus leaf, insert a candle on it, light it, place it on the top of a pole, and stand it outside the door. During the Chinese Valentine's Day, the lotus flowers are in bloom and you can light various lotus leaf-shaped candles in the courtyard to decorate your prayer hall. 3. Picking cypress leaves: During the Chinese Valentine's Day, most women pick cypress leaves and peach branches and use them to make decoction for washing their hair. Since the weather is dry at this time and washing is easy, using it to wash your hair will make it refreshed and smooth, without any dirt or greasiness. At dawn, when the sun is rising and the breeze is cool, picking is particularly convenient. Therefore, most people have a grand scene of women picking cypress leaves on July 7th. 4.
