The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is Chinese Valentine's Day, and folk activities include worshipping cowherd, dyeing nails and listening to whispers.

1. Worship the Cowherd

According to some books in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, Guangzhou girls showed their skillful skills in Tanabata, including embroidered shoes the size of a grain, various fans the size of nails, exquisite and light curtains, and special lotus flowers, jasmine flowers, roses, night flowers, etc. The flowerpot is only the size of a sprinkling cup, and there are two flowers painted in it, which is really a fake. On the seventh night of the seventh day, they continue to worship the gods as they did last night, which is called "worshipping the cowherd". Generally, boys are the main priests.

2. Nail dyeing

Nail dyeing is a Qixi custom that spreads in the southwest of China. Young girls in many areas like to wash their hair with the sap of trees during festivals. Not only can they be young and beautiful, but also unmarried women can find the right husband as soon as possible. Dyeing nails with flowers and plants is also a hobby of most women and children in holiday entertainment, and it is also closely related to reproductive beliefs.

3. Listen to whispers

In some rural areas of Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, there will be many girls hiding under the lush pumpkin shed on Tanabata night. If you can hear the whispers when the cowherd and the weaver girl meet in the dead of night, the girls to be married will get eternal love in the future.
