Qixi Festival, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, Qiqiao Festival or Qijie Festival, originated in China and is a traditional festival in Chinese areas and East Asian countries, celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. From the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Since the fate of women in the past could only be to marry a woman, husband and children, many women believe in the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and hope to take the Weaver Girl as an example.
Therefore, every time the seventh sister is born, they will sacrifice to the seventh sister, praying that they can be clever and get a happy marriage. This is also the ** of the name "begging". Women also prepare thin needles made of brass (seven-hole needles) to thread the needles through the moon and the wind with thin threads of five colours.
Over time, Tanabata has also become a "Daughter's Day". "Tanabata" was the earliest in people's worship of nature. Judging from historical documents, at least three or four thousand years ago, with people's understanding of astronomy and the emergence of textile technology, there were records about Altair and Vega.
People worship the stars far more than Altair and Vega, they believe that there are seven stars representing directions in the east, west, north and south, collectively known as the Twenty-Eight Nakshatras, of which the Big Dipper is the brightest and can be used to discern the direction at night. The first star of the Big Dipper is called Kuixing, also known as Kuishou. Later, with the imperial examination system, the champion was called "Da Kui Tian Corporal", and the scholars called Qixi "Kui Xing Festival", also known as "Book Festival", which maintained the traces of the earliest Qixi ** in the worship of the stars.
"Tanabata" is also the worship of time by ancient people. "Seven" is the same as "period", and the month and day are both "seven", giving people a sense of time. The ancient Chinese called the sun, moon and the five planets of water, fire, wood, metal and earth "seven yao".
The number of seven in the folk is manifested in the time stage, in the calculation of time often to "seven seven" as the end, in the old Beijing in the dead often to do the "seven seven" as the complete. The current "week" is still preserved in Japanese. "Seven" is homophonic with "auspicious", and "seven-seven" has the meaning of double auspiciousness, which is an auspicious day.
In Taiwan, July is known as the month of "Joy and Prosperity". Because the shape of the word "Xi" in cursive script resembles "seventy-seven", the seventy-seven years old is also called "Xishou". Basically, there is no classic record.

Tanabata refers to the traditional sense of the Seventh Sister's Day, because the worship activities are held on the evening of July 7th, so the name is Qixi. 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.
The food customs of the Xi Festival are different from place to place, and they are generally called eating smart food. A clever word vividly expresses the uniqueness of Qixi food customs, and expresses people's good wishes for the pursuit of a healthy family and a happy life.
Judging from historical documents and ancient relics, with people's understanding of astronomy and the emergence of textile technology, there are festivals related to Altair and Vega and sacrifices and blessings. Through historical development and evolution, the celestial astrological signs of the Morning Glory and the Maiden have been endowed with the personified beautiful legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
In "Nineteen Ancient Poems", the morning glory and weaver girl are already a pair of lovers who admire each other, and then they have been processed by generations of literati, and this part of the heavenly legend has become more and more full and vivid. In the classic repertoire of Huangmei Opera "Tianxian Pei", the ancients' conjecture about the stars has been almost perfectly integrated with a folk farmer named Dong Yong into a love tragedy in the world, which is now known as the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

Qixi Festival is a national festival with a long tradition in China, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, the Daughter's Festival, the Girl's Day, the Qi Niang Society, the Xianyuan Society, the Double Seven Festival, the Xiangqiao Society, the Xianqiao Society, the Tianyuan Society, and the Qiao FestivalWait. On the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, there are also festival names such as Kuixing Festival, Book Drying Festival, Immortal Festival, Qixi Water, Pangu King Festival (July Festival) and the birthday of the ploughing cow.
The names are different, and the folk content of the festival is also different. The reason why there are so many names and so many different ways to celebrate the festival is because this day has accumulated too many emotional factors and people's interpretations of life, so it is difficult to give up.
In our country, on the night of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the weather is warm, the grass and trees are fragrant, this is commonly known as the Qixi Festival, and some people call it the "Qiqiao Festival" or "Daughter's Day", which is the most romantic festival in the traditional Chinese festival, and it is also the day that the girls paid the most attention to in the past.
Origin of the Qixi Festival:
The Qixi Festival originated in the Han Dynasty at the earliest, and there are relevant records in the "Xijing Miscellaneous Records", such as "Han Cai women often wear seven-hole needles in the cardigan on the seventh day of July, and everyone is accustomed to it", which is the earliest record of begging that we have seen in ancient documents.
However, according to history, the origin of the Qixi Festival is actually fundamentally nature worship, such as at least three or four thousand years ago, with people's understanding of astronomy and the production of textile technology, the weaving of myths and stories is also relatively good, so the morning glory and Vega turned into a beautiful love story, which has been passed down to this day.
Qixi Festival is the traditional festival of the Han nationality in China on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar every year. Because the main participants of this day's activities are girls, and the content of the festival activities is mainly begging, so people call this day "Qiqiao Festival" or "Girl's Day", "Daughter's Day". The Qixi Festival is one of the most romantic festivals in China's traditional festivals, and it is also the day that girls attach the most importance to in the past. >>>More
