What's the festival on July 7th? What day is July 7th?

New Calendar Festival: July 7th Incident Memorial Day 1937 "July 7th Incident" (Lugouqiao Incident) launched by Japanese invaders. The Japanese invasion of China began and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out. On the night of July 7, the Japanese army in Lugouqiao held a so-called military exercise near the military position in China without notifying the local authorities in China, falsely claiming that the Japanese soldiers were missing and demanding to enter wanping county (now Lugouqiao Town) in the southwest of Beiping for a search. The China Garrison rejected this unreasonable request, and the Japanese attacked the China Garrison. The 2nd19th Regiment of the 37th Division of China Garrison fought back and fought tenaciously. The artillery fire in the ancient city of Wanping opened the prelude to the national war of resistance. Public Health Day Guangzhou Jian Kang Life launched July 7th every year as "Public Health Day", advocating the concept of "everyone is healthy and happy", taking it as its own responsibility and shouldering the glorious mission and responsibility of making the whole people healthy. On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Qixi, a traditional festival in China, is Seven Sisters's birthday in the traditional sense. Because the sacrificial ceremony was held on the evening of July 7th, it was named Tanabata. July 7th is a traditional festival with a long history in China. Worship Seven Sisters, pray and make wishes, seek skillful art, sit and watch morning glory and Vega, pray for marriage and store water on Tanabata. Valentine's Day in China is not only a festival to worship Seven Sisters, but also a festival of love. It is a comprehensive festival with the folk custom of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" as the carrier, with the theme of blessing, begging and courtship, and women as the main body. The original meaning of "Petunia, Five Girls" was used by the ancients as the corresponding "star division" for the geographical division of the astronomical star area. According to China folklore, Tanabata Night is the time when Weaver Cowherd and Queqiao meet in the sky. After historical development, Tanabata has been endowed with the beautiful love legend of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", which has become a festival symbolizing love, regarded as the most romantic traditional festival in China, and even produced the cultural meaning of "China Valentine's Day" in contemporary times. The Legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on Tanabata When it comes to Tanabata, people's first reaction is that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet at Queqiao, equating Tanabata with Valentine's Day in China. In ancient times, Tanabata was indeed closely related to the legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, but it was a comprehensive festival with women as the main body. On this day, women will visit close friends in the boudoir, worship the weaver girl, learn embroidery and pray for good luck, so Tanabata is also called "Daughter's Day". In the days when women are willing to compete and have fun, men also get together to enjoy it. The engagement between men and women is only a by-product of the "Daughter's Day" incident. According to legend, the Weaver Girl is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother. She is ingenious and good at weaving, and can weave colorful clouds with a pair of dexterous hands. Cowherd is an orphan. He is hardworking but poor, and keeps company with the old cow. Once, under the guidance of the old cow, the cowherd took away the clothes of the Weaver Girl who was taking a bath in the lake. The Weaver Girl also loved the Cowherd, and they became husband and wife. From then on, men plowed and women wove, gave birth to a son and a daughter, and lived a happy life. However, when the Queen Mother knew this, she flew into a rage and sent heavenly soldiers to take the Weaver Girl back to the Heavenly Palace. With the help of the old cow, the cowherd carried a laundry list of children and chased them to the sky. When the Queen Mother saw the Cowherd coming, she drew a big river between the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd wearing a golden hairpin. This is the Milky Way. The Milky Way ruthlessly separates the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and they can only cry across the river. When the Queen Mother saw that they were crying, she was moved with compassion and ordered the magpie to send a message to let them meet every seven days. Who knows that the magpie was wrong and agreed to meet once a year on July 7. So, the Queen Mother punished Magpie because Magpie matched the bridge. On the night of July in the lunar calendar, looking up at the starry night sky, people can see two bright stars on both sides of the Milky Way-Altair and Vega. The love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is integrated into the Begging Festival, and all the folk girls believe it. So every seventh day of the seventh lunar month, when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet at the "Queqiao Bridge", the girls will come to the flowers and look up at the starry sky, looking for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on both sides of the Milky Way, hoping to see their annual meeting, praying to God that they will be as ingenious as the Weaver Girl, and that in time, they will have a satisfactory and happy marriage.
