Ancient Qixi Festival customs:

1. Threading a needle and begging for skillful things: This is the earliest way of begging for skillful skills, which began in the Han Dynasty and spread to later generations. During the Chinese Valentine's Day, the palace maids go on stage to thread the nine-tailed needle with colorful silk. Those who finish it first are called a coincidence, and those who finish it late are called a coincidence.

2. The custom of begging for skill with spiders is slightly later than that of threading needles and begging for skill, and it probably started in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The methods of testing skill are different in the past dynasties. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the presence or absence of the net was viewed, in the Tang Dynasty, the denseness of the net was viewed, and in the Song Dynasty, the roundness of the net was viewed.

3. Throwing a needle to test skills: This is a variation of the Chinese Valentine's Day custom of needlework and begging for skills. It originates from needlework but is different from needlework. It is a popular Chinese Valentine's Day custom in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

4. Seeking seeds from seeds: In the old days, it was customary to soak mung beans, adzuki beans, wheat, etc. in a magnetic bowl a few days before the Chinese Valentine's Day. Silk ropes tied into a bunch are called "seeds".

5. Worshiping the Weaver Girl: It is a matter for girls and young women. Most of them make appointments with their friends or neighbors in advance for five or six people, or as many as ten people, to hold a joint ceremony. Girls who wish to be beautiful or marry a good man, and young women who wish to have a child early, can pray silently to Vega and play until midnight.
