What is the meaning of Valentine's Day? Help the gods.

Valentine's Day on February 14 every year, also known as St. Valentine's Day, is a day to be cautious-especially for singles and romantic people. You should peek through the keyhole when you get up in the morning on Valentine's Day. According to legend, if the first person you see is walking alone, then you are single that year; If you see two or more people walking together, then you will definitely find the lover of that year; If you see a rooster and a hen, you will get married before Christmas. But now there are few cocks and hens in the yard of each family, and there will be no chickens in the open space of the city. It would be great if we could see a pair of pigeons or sparrows. Singles pay special attention to the first person they meet on Valentine's Day morning, because if you are unmarried and looking for a partner, you are destined to marry the first person you meet in February of 14, at least this person will play an important role in your life. If you are not shy, you can call your lover early in the morning and ask for a ride to work. Or staying indoors until noon is also a good countermeasure. "Valentine's Day" is an ancient festival, which can be traced back to before the appearance of Christianity, but "Saint Valentine's Day" is a recent saying. According to legend, Saint Valentine was two bishops of the same name in ancient Rome, both of whom were killed in 270 AD. The last thing they do before they die is to write a love letter to their wife (when priests can get married). Since then, the name "Saint Valentine's Day" has been used in early religious ceremonies. According to the same legend, on Valentine's Day, birds are paired, bees live and fly, and so are people. On Valentine's Day, different times have different ways to predict marriage and attract lovers. From ancient Rome to Victorian times, people used two half-blooming flowers to predict the situation after marriage. Unmarried men and women plant two half-blooming flowers, and the initials of the flower names should be the same as those of their respective names. If two flowers open to each other, it indicates that the husband and wife are happy for life; If two flowers are opposite, it indicates that husband and wife will go their separate ways; If the flowers are in full bloom, it means that the family will prosper in the future; If a flower withers or dies, it means that one spouse will die before the other. If you don't want to be resigned to your fate, you can try an ancient method from Buckinghamshire, England: light a candle on Valentine's Day night, tie two needles at the bottom, make sure that the needles pass through the wick, and while tying, say: I'm not just sticking a candle, I want to penetrate XX's heart. I want him to talk to me, whether he is asleep or awake, but be careful. You choose. It is said that when a candle burns a needle, your lover will open the door and run towards you. The second way is to put socks on your right foot and put them on your left foot every night for a week before Valentine's Day, and say, "I dreamed of the living, not the dead. This is the young man, and I want to marry him. " After that, keep silent until you wake up the next day. The third way is to tie the socks on your left foot around your neck before going to bed. Be careful not to be too tight. If you strangle yourself, you will miss the big event. Unmarried women think that if they put their shoes in a T-shape under the bed with the window open, they will definitely dream of their sweetheart or find him standing in front of the bed. This has a higher success rate in rural areas, because her suitors can peek at specially placed shoes from the window. Although since the Victorian era, "Valentine's Day" has declined 100 years. Nowadays, this festival is becoming more and more popular. Valentine's Day is a festival about love, romance, flowers, chocolates and greeting cards, which is precious to our hearts. The customs of celebrating Valentine's Day are different in different times. Among them, from 1837- 190 1, Queen Victoria of England has the most unique Valentine's Day custom: 14 February, a couple transplanted a spring branch with two budding flowers into a special flowerpot. The initials of the flower name must be the same as the initials of the couple's name. A few days later, if the double buds on this spring branch are in full bloom and complement each other, it indicates that lovers will grow old together; If the double buds are divided into the west and the north, love and people will eventually fly away; If the flowers are huge and brilliant, it means that the future children and grandchildren will be full and the family will be happy; If a flower withers, one of the lovers is in danger of dying young. In Buckinghamshire, there is also a popular custom of praying on Valentine's Eve: light a candle, insert two thin needles, insert your lover's name from the bottom of the candle into the center of the candle, and pray for love all the time. When the candle burns to the tip of the needle, it is said that the loved one will knock on the door in time. There is also a custom of Valentine's Day: in the week before Valentine's Day, for seven consecutive nights, I took off my left sock and put it on my right foot, repeatedly wishing: "May my beloved dream tonight." It is said that at this time, under the old moon, a bright red silk thread will be left. And take off your socks and pray for love around your neck. After the Victorian era, the custom of Valentine's Day gradually faded. In 1930s and 1940s, with the popularity of greeting cards, Valentine's Day revived. In some countries, Valentine's Day has evolved into a trend for men in love to express their friendship to women, so on March 14, it became a "plot of returning love", that is, men gave gifts to women to show "returning love". Valentine's Day is a holiday for friends, family and lovers. In the west, Valentine's Day is not only the best time to express love, but also the best time to propose to the one you love. In this regard, Valentine's Day embodies the original intention of the ancient Romans to design this festival.
