Begging for cleverness, on the night of the seventh lunar month (or the night of the sixth of July), young girls in new clothes beg for cleverness from Vega in the courtyard, which is called "begging for cleverness". It is said that Seventh Sister is an expert in weaving in the sky. In the old days, women "begged" Seventh Sister to teach her ingenious skills. In fact, the so-called "begging for cleverness" is just "fighting cleverness".

Most of the ways of begging for cleverness are that girls try their best to make small items and put some melons and fruits on them. The ways of begging for cleverness vary from place to place, and each has its own interests. In modern times, threading needles, steaming steamed buns, branding clever fruits, giving birth to clever buds, and decorations made of dough sculpture, paper-cutting and colored embroidery are also extensions of the custom of begging for cleverness.
