Tanabata custom 1, ligating the ancient bridge

In the Loess Plateau of Shaanxi Province, it is also a custom to hold various begging activities on Tanabata night. Women often have to tie up grass people in flowered clothes, which is called the ancient bridge. They should not only provide melons and fruits, but also plant bean sprouts and shallots. On the night of Qixi, all the women held a bowl of water in their hands, cut bean sprouts and shallots, put them into the water, and used the shadow of the moon to predict the fate of cleverness. They also wear needles and thread to compete. At the same time, there will be activities to cut window grilles.

Step 2 have fun

Moeli is a folk town in Kaifeng, Henan Province in the old society. It is a children's plaything on Tanabata, that is, a small clay doll. Its image is mostly a half-arm skirt with lotus leaves in hand. On July 7th every year, in Kaifeng, "the tiles outside the Dongsongmen Gate of Panlou Street, the tiles outside the Xiliangmen Gate of Zhou Zhou, the tiles outside the North Gate, the tiles outside the South Suzaku Gate and the tiles in Xingjie Ma are all plastic puppets".

3, girls shampoo

It is also a special custom for girls to wash their hair on Tanabata. Young girls in many areas like to wash their hair with the liquid pulp of trees in Chinese Valentine's Day. It is said that not only women can be young and beautiful, but unmarried girls can also find Mr. Right as soon as possible. This custom is related to the Tanabata belief in "holy water".

It is believed that taking spring water and river water on Tanabata Day is as sacred as taking water from the Milky Way. Some places directly call it "the holy water of Tiansun (Weaver Girl)". Therefore, it is of special significance for women to wash their hair on this day, which means that with the holy water of the Milky Way, they will be protected by the goddess Vega.
