The Qixi Festival, also known as Chinese Valentine's Day, has its origins in a romantic legend. The festival is celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, traditionally believed to be the day when the weaver girl, Zhinü, and the cowherd, Niulang, are allowed to meet across the Milky Way.
The legend goes back to the ancient Chinese, where it is said that the Emperor ordered the separation of Zhinü, a celestial weaver, and Niulang, a mortal cowherd, because he wanted Zhinü to weave clothes for the gods. The couple was separated by the Milky Way, which was guarded by the god of heaven. However, they were allowed to meet once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, with the help of magpies that would form a bridge for them to cross.
The Qixi Festival is celebrated by young women who place their wishes for a good marriage and a loving partner under the stars. It is also a time for people to appreciate love and romance, and to celebrate the union of Zhinü and Niulang. The festival is marked by various customs, including making and giving Qixi Festival gifts, eating mooncakes, and hanging red lanterns and couplets.
