Valentine's Day in China is a traditional festival in China. On July 7th, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met at the Magpie Bridge. In ancient times, Valentine's Day in China was mainly a festival attended by girls. The main content of the festival was to pray for good luck and make wishes. The story of Valentine's Day in China comes from the legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. The weaver girl is the god who weaves cloth in the sky. In ancient times, women had to do needlework. If she can't do needlework, she will feel ashamed. Therefore, on Valentine's Day in China, she will pray to God to teach her ingenious skills. In addition to eating some delicious chocolates symbolizing love, China will also eat some delicious foods that she hopes to be blessed on Valentine's Day.

One, rooster. Since ancient times, China has had the custom of eating cocks on Valentine's Day. Every household kills a big rooster on this day and then makes delicious food. It is said that Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet on Tanabata, which is the only day they look forward to most in a year, so people hope that this day can be longer. The cock crows is the beginning of a new day. If there is no rooster to crow, they will not part until the end of the day. Therefore, in order to prevent roosters from crowing, people continue the custom of killing roosters.

Second, begging for spiritual fruit. There are many kinds of fruits in Qiao Qi. According to legend, the weaver girl is a god who can weave good cloth. On this day, young women will put Qiao Qi fruit on the table to pray on Tanabata. The types of fruits in Qiao Qi include melons and fruits, and pasta. Melon and fruit are tender and crisp, and the surface of melon and fruit is carved with various exquisite patterns, showing ingenuity. In addition, flour and sugar are used to make cakes of different shapes. Most of these fruit designs are based on the legendary figures of Qixi Festival, and all kinds of fancy foods made on this day are called Qiao Qi fruits.

Third, mung bean sprouts. Mung bean sprouts, also known as "worship dishes", are very popular in Guangdong, China. On Tanabata, we should not only prepare colored paper, medulla tetrapanacis and string, but also put seeds and mung beans into small boxes in advance, and then soak them in water, and bean sprouts will gradually be born. When the bean sprouts grow to more than two inches, they will be taken out for worship, commonly known as "worship of cranes" and "worship of vegetables"

Fourth, rice noodles. On Tanabata, Nanjing has the custom of eating glutinous rice flour, which is a snack and is now a must-have snack in many areas during the Spring Festival. Its raw materials are glutinous rice flour and soybean flour, which are steamed after kneading, then taken out and put into a stone mortar to continue beating, then taken out and kneaded into round strips, dried until thick, then put oil into a pot, heated to 30% oil temperature, and put in ginger strips to start frying, and then taken out.
