The landlord shouldn't be studying liberal arts, haha, I'm studying liberal arts, I'm more impressed, I remember that there was a book in the Han Dynasty: there are Han women who often wear seven-hole needles on the placket on July 7, and everyone is used to it.

Therefore, it was named Qixi Qiqiao. There is also the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, on the seventh day of the seventh month of July every year, the Cowherd can take his children to meet the Weaver Girl on the Magpie Bridge, so the day of the Chinese Valentine's Day is also considered to be the Valentine's Day of the Chinese Valentine's Day, which is the oldest and most traditional Valentine's Day in China.

As for the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, it is like this: this is a famous folk love story in ancient China. It is about the orphan Cowherd who relies on his brother and sister-in-law to live.

After being abused by his brother and sister-in-law, he was forced to split up and rely on an old cow to plough the fields to support himself. One day, the Weaver Girl and the fairies went down to play and bathed in the river, the old cow suddenly opened his mouth to speak, persuaded the Cowherd to meet, and told the Cowherd that if the fairies could not go back before dawn, they could only stay in the mortal world, so the Cowherd stayed by the river to see the seven fairies, he found that the youngest fairy was very beautiful, and suddenly fell in love, remembering the words of the old cow, so he quietly took the little fairy's clothes, and the fairies took a bath and were ready to return to heaven, but the little fairy found that the clothes were missing and could only stay, and the Cowherd came out at this time, I made an encounter with the little fairy. After some time, the two of them fell in love, and the little fairy married the cowherd and no longer wanted to go back to heaven.

After getting married, they farmed and weaved, gave birth to a son and a daughter, and lived a very happy life. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Heaven found out about this and ordered the Queen Mother to escort the Weaver Girl back to Heaven for trial. The old cow couldn't bear to let their wives separate, so he cut off the horns on his head and turned it into a small boat, and let the cowherd carry his children to chase after him in a boat.

Seeing that she was about to catch up with the Weaver Girl, the Queen Mother suddenly pulled off the golden hairpin on her head and drew a rolling Milky Way in the sky. The Cowherd couldn't cross the river, so he could only look at the Weaver Girl by the river and weep from afar. Their steadfast love touched the magpies, and countless magpies flew over and used their bodies to build a colorful bridge across the Tianhe, so that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could meet on the Tianhe.

The Emperor of Heaven had no choice but to allow the Cowherd and Weaver Girl to meet once a year on the Magpie Bridge on July 7, and the magpie would also be by his side. In the future, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will meet on July 7 every year.

1. The origin of the Qixi Festival is related to the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl that has been circulated among the people, and its earliest origin may be in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as "The Book of Poetry: Dadong": "The Weaver Girl wrestles with seven Xiang all day long." Although it is seven, it is not a uniform; Ignorant of the cow, do not recognize the box.

There is also Luo Qi's "Source of Things" in the Ming Dynasty, which said: "King Chu Huai first placed Qixi Festival. "But at that time, Qixi Festival was a sacrifice to Altair and Vega, and there was no story behind it.

2. It was not until the Han Dynasty that its details were linked to the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and it officially became a festival belonging to women. For example, the "Customs and Customs" written by Ying Shao of the Eastern Han Dynasty contains: "The Weaver Girl should cross the river on the Chinese Valentine's Day, and make the magpie an overseas Chinese."

Another example is "Xijing Miscellaneous Records": "Han Cai women often wear seven-hole needles in the placket on July 7, and they are all used to it. ”

3. Qixi Festival, there is a beautiful legend of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl "Queqiao Meeting". According to legend, on the day of Qixi Festival, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, who were separated by the Queen Mother on both sides of the Milky Way, could meet through the bridge erected by magpies. There is such a record in the Song Dynasty:

On the seventh day of autumn, the magpie's head is bald for no reason. Legend has it that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will meet in Handong, and the magpie will be Liang Yidu, so the hair will be taken off. "Handong refers to the east of the Milky Way, and the magpie's head is bald because it wants to build a bridge for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

It is said that if you see the Milky Way steaming white and colorful on the "Tanabata Festival", it means that the Weaver Girl is crossing the river to meet the Cowherd. Folk believe that when you see such a scene, you should immediately bow down, you can ask for skill, blessing, wealth, children, etc., but you can only ask for the same, not both, the proverb says that this is called "the Weaver Girl crosses the river and the gate of heaven opens, and the gold, silver and jewelry fall". The story of the Queqiao Club reflects the good hearts and good wishes of the working people of our country.

Qixi Festival is a traditional festival in China, and it is also one of the most romantic festivals. According to legend, on this night every year, it is the time when the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd meet at the Queqiao. The Weaver Girl is a beautiful, intelligent, and ingenious fairy, and the women of the mortal world beg her for wisdom and ingenuity on this night, and inevitably ask her for a happy marriage.

In the past, marriage was a lifelong event for women that determined whether they were happy or not, so countless sentient men and women in the world would be noisy at this night, in the middle of the night, praying to the stars for a happy marriage. The origin of the Qixi Festival: the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, commonly known as "Qixi Festival", according to legend, it is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge once a year, and the fairy in the sky will build a bridge with the magpie in the mortal world on this night, so that lovers can meet on the bridge, so it is also called the "Qiqiao Festival".

The Qixi Festival originated from the worship of nature and the custom of women threading needles and begging, and later because of the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, it was given the meaning of love. Legend has it that the ancient Emperor of Heaven's granddaughter, Weaver Girl, was good at weaving cloth and weaving colorful glow to the sky every day. She hated this boring life, so she secretly went down to the mortal world and married the cowherd in Hexi privately.

The Qixi Festival evolved from the worship of the stars, which is the birthday of the Seven Sisters in the traditional sense, and is named "Qixi Festival" because the worship of the "Seven Sisters" is held on the seventh day of July. It is the traditional customs of Qixi to worship the seventh sister, pray for blessings and make wishes, beg for skillful arts, sit and watch the morning glory Vega, pray for marriage, and store water for Qixi Festival.

Women's Day: The Qixi Festival takes the girl's worship of immortals, begging Qiao, Saiqiao and other festival activities as the main festival activities, so it is called Women's Day, also known as Daughter's Day and Girl's Day. Lan Night: The seventh month of the lunar calendar was called "Lan Yue" in ancient times, so Qixi Festival is also called "Lan Night".Children's Day: Because of begging, begging and other customs.
