The main customs of the Qixi Festival are as follows in English:

1. Star-Gazing: Couples often go out on rooftops to gaze at the Bright Cow (织女星, or Vega) and the Dark Cow (河鼓二, or Altair), which are the stars in the constellation that the mythological characters,牛郎 and 纤女, are said to meet on this day.
2. Romantic Dates: Couples celebrate their love by spending the night together or enjoying a romantic date, similar to Valentine's Day.
3. Making Love Knots: Young women would weave colorful threads into intricate patterns and knots to represent love and beauty, which are then worn as amulets or displayed in the home.
4. Qixi Rice Pudding: Eating sweet rice balls or congee filled with various ingredients like red beans, nuts, or fruit, believed to be lucky in love and to improve the fertility of those about to get married.
5. Matchmaking Rituals: In ancient times, the Qixi Festival was also a time for families to arrange marriages for their children. They would set up stands where people could post messages of love, and a matchmaker would try to pair them up.
6. Giving Gifts: Couples may exchange gifts as tokens of their affection, such as flowers, jewelry, or traditional Chinese candies and sweets.
