What are the customs on July 7th?
1, Worship the Weaver Girl: As we all know, there is a fairy tale of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on Tanabata. Fairy and Weaver in the sky came to earth and met Cowherd by chance. They fell in love, but they were stopped by the Queen Mother and separated by the Tianhe River, so they couldn't meet. The seventh day of July is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet at the Magpie Bridge. According to legend, Vega is a smart and beautiful girl, so every woman on the earth will worship Vega on this day, hoping that she can become smart and skilled. Girls and women agreed to hold a ceremony together in groups of three and five, set up melon and fruit sacrifices, bathe and fast, burn incense and worship. Then everyone sat around the table together, eating melon and fruit snacks and making a silent wish to the Weaver Girl.

2. Eating delicious food: I think eating delicious food during festivals is also a tradition in China. China Valentine's Day is no exception. During the festival, it also has its own special food-Qiuqiaoguo, also known as appropriate fruit. It is made of oil, flour, honey and sugar. It will be made into various beautiful shapes, such as melons, fruits, flowers and plants, and it will be eaten or sold by itself.

3. Sacrificing little dolls: The custom of sacrificing little dolls is probably for children. On Tanabata, people will make some small dolls with different images and put them at home. At first, dolls were made of clay, such as cowherd, weaver girl and children, or small animals like cows and sheep. Not necessarily beautiful, but it must be interesting. Later, it became more and more exquisite, not only using gold and silver, but also making strange dolls as tall as real people.

4. Needle-piercing Competition: There are three major competitions in China on Valentine's Day. The first competition became popular and began in the Han Dynasty. On Valentine's Day in China, women and girls in every household will leave home. Everyone will gather under the grape trellis, guess what the girl will say when meeting the weaver, and take out their own needlework. He who wears the needle fastest has the most skillful needle in his hand.
