Why is Tanabata called Jojo Festival? What do you mean?

Valentine's Day in China, also known as Begging Festival, originated in the Han Dynasty. Ge Hong's Miscellanies of Xijing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty recorded that "women in the Han Dynasty often put seven-hole needles in the building on July 7, and everyone was there". The first Begging Festival is not to commemorate the love of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but to commemorate the Weaver Girl who is called "Seven Sisters" by the people. Therefore, Valentine's Day in China is first and foremost a festival for women, and the Weaver Girl is regarded as the goddess of textile and the object of ancient women's worship. On the night of the seventh day of July, ordinary women beg her for wisdom and skillful skills. Of course, they also inevitably ask for a happy marriage and a husband.

Because the main participants in this day's activities are young girls, the content of the festival activities is mainly begging skills, so people call this day "begging skills festival" or "Qixi" or "Daughter's Day".
