What is the story of the seventh night of August 26th?

The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is a traditional festival of Han nationality in China, China Valentine's Day. Because the main participants in this day's activities are girls, the content of the festival activities is mainly begging skills, so people call this day "begging skills festival" or "daughter's day" or "daughter's day". Tanabata is one of the most romantic traditional festivals in China and the most important day for girls in the past. On this evening, women put on needles to pray for Fu Lushou. On the seventh day, the ceremony was pious and grand, filled with flowers, fruits and needles, and all kinds of furniture and utensils were exquisite and small, which made people fondle. On May 20th, 2006, China Valentine's Day was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage by the State Council. Now it is also considered as "Valentine's Day in China".

Tanabata, formerly known as the Begging Festival. Qixi Qiqiao originated in the Han Dynasty. Ge Hong's Miscellaneous Notes on Xijing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty records that "women in the Han Dynasty often wear seven-hole needles on July 7 in the building, and everyone wears them", which is the earliest record of begging for cleverness in ancient literature we have seen.

Ancient records: Tracing the formation of Valentine's Day in China from the legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, the time was in the Warring States and the place was in Chu. There is a poem in The Book of Songs Xiaoya Dadong: "You are a weaver girl. You are the one holding the cow all day, not you holding the shovel". This is the earliest written record of the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and it is the embryonic form of the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. There is also a poem "Han Guang" related to the Weaver Girl, which says that "Han has a wandering girl and can't think about it". According to historical records, the word "Han" in the poem refers to Hanshui and Tianhan (Galaxy), and the word "wandering girl" refers to the goddess of Hanshui or Vega. Chu people are far away from Jianghan area and attach great importance to the "prodigal girl in the late Han Dynasty". In addition, among Chu people, Altair is often confused with Hegu Samsung. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the annotation in the book Chronicle of Jingchu written by Nanyang Zonggu said: "Cowherd star, Jingzhou is called' Hegu'". In Nanyang Han Dynasty stone relief "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl Constellation", the river drum is the cow. Nanyang, located in the north of Hanshui River, is known as "lying on the pillow and riding Jianghan, covering three mountains and bringing lakes". During the Warring States Period, Nanyang belonged to Chu, and Chu was in Danyang, Xichuan, which was the birthplace of Chu culture with profound cultural accumulation. This historical and cultural background is one of the important conditions for the formation of the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
