Visit the Fortune Teller website to learn more details about the seventh lunar month of 2018.Why is Qixi Festival called the Chinese Valentine's Day?There are currently three general opinions about Chinese Valentine's Day: one is the Lantern Festival (the fifteenth day of the first lunar month); the second is the third day of the third lunar month, which is more accurate; the other is the Double Seventh Festival (originally called the Qiqiao Festival, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month). The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is known as China's Valentine's Day. This title has a long history. The Lantern Festival was the festival that ancient women were most interested in. In ancient times, ordinary women, especially those from wealthy families or ordinary girls, were not allowed to leave their boudoirs.Only during the Lantern Festival and Shangsi Festival can she go out, and even have a secret meeting with her boyfriend to talk about love. The Chinese Valentine's Day is more of a festival for women, and its connotation includes not only begging for love, but also begging for cleverness and blessings. Therefore, we cannot simply equate the Qixi Festival with "Valentine's Day" just because it is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet. Strictly speaking, the Lantern Festival serves as a better "Valentine's Day" than the Qixi Festival. "Qixi Festival" also originated from the ancient people's worship of time. "Qi" is homophonic with "qi", and both the month and the day are "qi", giving people a sense of time. The ancient Chinese called the sun, moon and the five major planets, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, together the "Seven Luminaries". The number seven represents a period of time in folk culture, and "seven sevens" is often used as the final number when calculating time. In old Beijing, when holding a memorial service for the deceased, it was usually considered complete after the 77th day. It is still preserved in Japanese. “Qi” is homophonic with “ji”, and “Qiqi” means double luck, so it is an auspicious day. In Taiwan, July is known as the month of "happiness and fortune". Because the shape of the word "喜" in cursive script resembles the continuous writing of "七十七", seventy-seven years old is also called "喜寿". The seventh day of the seventh month of the Chinese Valentine's Day is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet across the Milky Way on the Magpie Bridge according to legend. In people's minds, the Weaver Girl is a hardworking, kind-hearted and dexterous fairy. So on the night of July 7, young girls and young women come out to perform the ritual of worship and beg for dexterity from the Weaver Girl, hoping that they can have dexterous hands and an intelligent heart like the Weaver Girl and live a happy and fulfilling life. Because the Qixi Festival is closely related to women's affairs, it is also called "Daughter's Day" and is the Women's Day among Chinese traditional festivals. Analysis of Qixi Festival blessings!1.
