Origin and Customs of Qixi Festival

The Qixi Festival, originating from the love legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, is one of the most romantic festivals in traditional Chinese culture, also known as Qiqiao Festival or Daughters' Day. Legend has it that on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month each year, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge. On this day, people usually perform customs such as 'begging for skills' (qiqiao), worshipping the Weaver Girl, and eating 'skillful pastries' (qiaoguo), expressing their yearning for beautiful love and a happy life. It has also been given the romantic meaning of "Chinese Valentine's Day" by modern people. This tool is designed to help everyone remember and celebrate this traditional festival.
