Are there any folklore for the Tanabata Festival? For example, eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Fest

Stand under the loofah stand or under the tree and listen to the Cowherd and Weaver Girl. Actually, just to get you bitten by mosquitoes. My mom said that.

1. Threading needles is skillful.

This is the earliest way of begging, which began in the Han Dynasty and flowed in later generations. The night of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Qixi Festival (Qiqiao Festival), is the most important festival for young women in ancient China. Yuan Tao Zongyi's "Yuan's Court Record" said:

Nine leading platforms, the place of Qixi begging. At the end of the day, the palace maid took the stage to wear the nine-tailed needle with colorful silk, the first to finish is clever, the late finish is called the loss of the clever, each to contribute to the gift of the clever. ”

That is, every night of the "Qixi Festival", women have to thread needles and threads (women hold five-color silk threads and continuous arrangement of nine-hole needles or five-hole needles, seven-hole needles take advantage of the moonlight to continuously thread needles and threads, and those who quickly pass through all the threads are called "Deqiao"). Put down the melons and fruits, and beg that you can be as clever as the fairy in the sky and do good needlework.

2. Spiders should be coincidental.

Wang Renyu of the fifth dynasty said in "The Remains of Kaiyuan Tianbao": "On July 7, each caught a spider in a small box, until dawn opened; Seeing the cobwebs as dense is a coincidence. The secret ones have many clever words, and the rare ones have few clever words.

The people will follow suit". So-called"Joy spider coincidence", that is, some melon and fruit foods (mainly melons, **melons, qiaoguo, peanuts, red dates, etc.) are placed on the fruit pot, which is usually prepared by adults before threading the needle.

Threading the needle is ingenious"After that, everyone opened their eyes to see if there was anything on the fruit pot"Hi spider"In the net, whoever discovers it first will be lucky. But it is not easy to have the traces of this kind of happy spider on the fruit pot, and sometimes in order to get the melons and fruits early, one of the children will always secretly catch one and put it on the fruit pot.

Adults actually know that the one who opens one eye and closes the other, is in the child"Discover"In the cheers of the happy spider, he said while distributing the melons and fruits to everyone's hands"Eat, eat, every year, every year. "

3. Needle test.

This is a variant of the Qixi needle-threading begging custom, which originates from needle-threading, and is different from needle-threading, and is the prevailing Qixi festival custom in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Needle test"It is to prepare a basin first, put it in the patio, and pour it in"Mandarin duck water", that is, mixing water taken during the day with water taken at night. However, it is often done by mixing river water and well water and pouring it into the basin, and the basin and water should be left in the open air overnight, and then the sun will be exposed to the sun during the day on the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month, and it will be enough to reach noon or afternoon"Ingenuity"Finish.

It turns out that the water in the basin, after half a day of sunlight, the surface is vaguely formed a film, so take the lead, gently flat on the water surface, the needle will not sink, under the water, there will be a needle shadow, if the needle shadow is a straight one, that is"Begging"Failure, if the shadow of the needle forms various shapes, or curved, or thick at one end, thin at the other, or other shapes, it is"Coincidentally"。
