The True Origin of Qixi Festival

The Qixi Festival, also known as Chinese Valentine's Day, is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Its true origin can be traced back to ancient Chinese mythology and folklore.
According to the legend, there was once a cowherd named Niulang and a weaver named Zhinu who fell in love with each other. However, the heaven gods did not approve of their love and separated them, placing a vast river called the Milky Way between them. The only way they could meet was on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, when magpies would form a bridge across the river for them.
Over time, the Qixi Festival has evolved into a celebration of love and romance. Young women would perform various activities to pray for a good marriage, such as tying knots with strings, looking at the stars, and making wishes on a magpie bridge.
The festival is also associated with the Chinese literary classic "The Twenty-Four Famous Poems," where the story of Niulang and Zhinu is retold. Today, the Qixi Festival is celebrated with various romantic activities, such as gift-giving, candlelit dinners, and watching the movie "The Cowherd and the Weaving Girl," which is based on the legend.
