Mr. Shui Mo will take you into the stories of the Chinese Valentine's Day.What is Chinese Valentine's Day?"The thin clouds are playing tricks, the flying stars are conveying hatred, the Milky Way is far away in the dark. When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world. Love is tender as water, and the good time is like a dream. I can't bear to look back at the magpie bridge on the way home! If the love is long-lasting, why should it be day and night?" A famous poem "Magpie Bridge Fairy: Thin Clouds Playing Skills" brings us into the touching love myth of the meeting of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, but in fact, Chinese Valentine's Day is not a festival named after the love story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl.The Chinese Valentine's Day on May 20, 2006 was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list as one of the first traditional festivals in Chinese cultural history. It is also known as the Qiqiao Festival or the Seventh Sisters' Birthday. This festival originated in the Han Dynasty. According to legend, women in the Han Dynasty would wear their most beautiful new clothes on the night of the seventh day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar and have a competition in their gardens to see who was more dexterous. Girls who wanted to win would also worship the Vega star to gain more luck in being dexterous. Therefore, the earliest Chinese Valentine's Day was just a festival for folk women to reflect their virtue of loving labor and worship the power of nature. Later, the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl was gradually added, and with the massive hype from modern businesses and media, it evolved into today's Chinese Valentine's Day!
