Young girls in traditional society were not allowed to go out freely, but they could go out and play in groups during the festival. Viewing the lanterns during the Lantern Festival was a good opportunity for socializing, and unmarried men and women could also use the opportunity to look for partners. During the Lantern Festival, it is an opportunity for young men and women to meet their lovers. Therefore, the Lantern Festival is also China's Valentine's Day. Introduction to Chinese Valentine's DayThere are three general definitions of Chinese Valentine's Day:One is the Lantern Festival (also known as Shangyuan Festival, which is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month); The second is the Shangsi Festival (the third day of the third lunar month); The third is the Chinese Valentine’s Day (the birthday of the seventh sister, the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar). The Lantern Festival, Shangsi Festival and Qixi Festival were the festivals 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 the house. They were only allowed to come out during the Lantern Festival and the Shangsi Festival, and even have secret meetings with their boyfriends to talk about love. The Chinese Valentine's Day is more like a women's festival, which not only includes begging for love, but also begging for cleverness and blessings. In ancient times, the Chinese Valentine's Day had little to do with love, and it only became a festival symbolizing love in modern times. |
