Unusual Records of the Goddess 5 The foods suitable for the Chinese Valentine's Day are as follows:

1. Eating proper fruit, also known as "fruit of begging for cleverness", is actually not a fruit, but a must-have snack in Chinese Valentine's Day. These proper fruit probably originated in the Song Dynasty. Others make cakes with noodles, which are called Qiao cakes and are popular in Shaowu, Fujian. The proverb says that eating a clever pot on Tanabata can make people clever.

2. Qiaosu is commonly known as "homo habilis" and "Qiaosu", and it is also called "Send to homo habilis" when it is sold. This custom has been passed down in some areas.

3. Suobing is a food that people used to eat on Qixi. Later, it evolved into the custom of eating dried noodles. It can be said that the ancestor of dried noodles was asking for cakes. Suobing was introduced to Japan in Nara era, and it looks like our China's twist.

4. Eating chicken means that the cowherd and the weaver girl meet this night. If there is no rooster at dawn, they will never be apart.

5. The offerings for eating Wuzi include tea, wine and fresh fruit, especially Wuzi (longan, red dates, hazelnuts, peanuts and melon seeds). After burning incense and praying silently, these offerings become their midnight snack food.
