What does Beggar's Day mean? It means Chinese Valentine's Day.
1, Beggar's Day refers to Chinese Valentine's Day. Chinese Valentine's Day, also known as Qiqiao Festival, Qijie Festival, Daughter's Day, Begging for Cleverness Festival, Qixi Festival, Cow and Bull's Day, Qiaoxi and so on, is a traditional folk festival in China. Chinese Valentine's Day, derived from the worship of the stars, is the birthday of the seventh sister in the traditional sense. Because the worship of the seventh sister was held on the seventh day of July, it was named Tanabata. It is the traditional custom of Qixi to worship the Seventh Sister, pray for wishes, beg for skillful arts, sit and watch the morning glory and the weaver star, pray for marriage, and store water on Qixi.

2. Chinese Valentine's Day is not only a festival to worship the Seventh Sister, but also a festival of love. It is a comprehensive festival with the folklore of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" as the carrier, the theme of blessing, begging for skill and love, and women as the main body. The "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" on Tanabata originated from people's worship of natural astronomical phenomena. In ancient times, people corresponded the planetarium and geographical areas. This correspondence was called "dividing the stars" in astronomy and "dividing the fields" in geography. According to legend, on the seventh day of July every year, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will meet at the Magpie Bridge in the sky.
