Mr. Shui Mo will take you into the stories of the Chinese Valentine's Day.What day is Chinese Valentine's Day?The seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar every year.Specific time of Chinese Valentine's Day in 2017 August 28, 2017 (Monday, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month) Introduction to Qixi Festival <br /> Qixi Festival, originally known as Qiqiao Festival. The Qixi Festival, a festival for begging for cleverness, originated in the Han Dynasty. In the Western Capital Miscellaneous Records by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there is a record that "beautiful women of the Han Dynasty used to thread seven-hole needles in the open-collared tower on July 7th, and everyone was accustomed to it." This is the earliest record of begging for cleverness that we have seen in ancient documents. In later Tang and Song Dynasty poetry, women's begging for skills were repeatedly mentioned. Wang Jian of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem saying "The dim stars are adorned with pearly light, and the palace maids are busy begging for skills on the Qixi Festival." According to "Kaiyuan Tianbao Yishi", Emperor Taizong of Tang and his concubines held banquets in the Qing Palace on the Qixi Festival every year, and the palace maids each begged for skills. This custom has been popular among the people and passed down from generation to generation. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Qixi Festival was quite grand, and there was even a market in the capital city that sold items for the Qixi Festival, which was known as the Qixi Market. Song Luoye and Jin Yingzhi’s “Drunkard Talks” said: “On the seventh night of the seventh month, people buy and sell items for begging for cleverness in front of Pan Tower. From the first day of July, the number of carriages and horses was congested. Until three days before the Qixi Festival, the number of carriages and horses could not move. The traffic was jammed one after another and no one could get out until nightfall. Here, from the grand scene of buying Qiqiao items in the Qiqiao Market, we can infer the lively scene of the Qiqiao Festival at that time. People start preparing for the Qiqiao Festival from the first day of July. The Qiqiao Market is bustling with people and vehicles. When it is close to the Chinese Valentine's Day, the Qiqiao Market becomes a sea of people, with vehicles and horses having difficulty passing through. The atmosphere and customs seem to be no less than the grandest festival - the Spring Festival, which shows that the Qiqiao Festival was one of the favorite festivals of the ancients. It is indeed very lively. What gift should I give to my girlfriend on Chinese Valentine’s Day?1. Comfortable pillow <br /> You love each other, but you are not always together. When she (he) is exhausted, when she (he) is lonely and lost, when she (he) is fragile and helpless, when she (he) needs a hug, do you hope that the other person can be like the Princess and the Pea or the seven dwarfs in the fairy tale, whom you can hold in your hands and keep by your side at any time? But there is always an insurmountable gap between fairy tales and reality. Reality is not a fairy tale, so we cannot be together day and night. The most heartwarming gift recommended for the Chinese Valentine’s Day is the Only Love Dream Pillow Series.2. Rotating Music Box <br /> There are three things in the world that know no national boundaries: music, art and food. Time flies and music flows, but these notes all have the same unchanging theme, which is love. There are many types of music boxes recommended as gifts for the Chinese Valentine's Day. There is the "Protecting True Love" which spreads its wings and lets its true heart fly; there is the "Mutual Affection" which takes you to harmonious feelings and towards happiness; there is the "Happy Tour" which has a unique shape and is constantly touring; there is the "Elegant Swan" which is full of affection and quietly waiting for its partner to return; there is also the "Flying Together" which symbolizes mutual affection and never leaving each other, and many other music boxes with a fairy-tale feel. Among these, is there any one that you like and makes your heart beat? 3. Carved objects <br /> Time will change your appearance, take away the good times of your youth, and even secretly replace the promises you made, but time will not dilute the love between you. Love is sometimes like wine. The longer it is stored, the stronger its aroma becomes. In order to preserve a memory that belongs to you alone, the recommended gift for the Chinese Valentine's Day is the Love Carving Series. You can write down your thoughts on a belt or a bamboo stick, and sentence her to "married prison sentence" or give her a "World's Best Girlfriend Certificate". |
