There is a custom of hanging a seven-niang lantern, which is a long round lantern with pictures of seven fairies painted on it. Generally, a string of flowers of various colors is hung below. If a child is born or a newly-married bride starts to hang lanterns at the beginning of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, or even hangs them at the new door of the newly-married couple, she will have a wish to live together for a hundred years.
The seventh day of July is Valentine's Day in China, which is a traditional festival in China. Also known as Begging for Cleverness Festival and Seven Clever Festival. It originated in China and is a traditional festival in China and East Asian countries. This festival comes from the folklore of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, expressing the feelings between men and women, growing old together, and abiding by the promise of love.
General situation of Chaoshan culture and education
Since Han Yu set up education and opened a bookstore in Chaozhou in the Tang Dynasty, the cultural education in Chaoshan has been greatly improved. "Traveling eight thousand miles south, Han is the capital of the country." Today's names of "Han", such as Hanjiang, Hanshan, Hanchi, Hanyuan and Xiangziqiao, are all due to Chaoshan people's love for Han Yu, a literary master who began with the decline of eight generations.
