In ancient times, Valentine's Day did exist, and this festival was called Lantern Festival. I don't know when the Lantern Festival will be curfew. Because the world under the night is quiet, but under the cover of the night, many plots can be realized: for example, the "Tang Long coup" in the history of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji used the night to launch a coup against Empress Wei. So the ruler wants to control the night, so there is a curfew.

The so-called "curfew" means that people are not allowed to move in the street at night. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a minister suggested that he make sacrifices to Taiyi God to protect the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. The priest told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the sacrifice to Taiyi God should be held on the 15th day of the first month. On this day, the Emperor of Heaven and all the people put on lights to celebrate, and Taiyi God would bless the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered a sacrifice to Taiyi God on the 15th day of the first month. It is generally believed that the Lantern Festival originated at this time. The Double Seven Festival, known as the Seven Clever Festival in ancient times, originated in the Han Dynasty. At that time, China was vast and rich in products, and the customs in different places were different. On the seventh day of July, some local girls and women worship the Weaver Girl, hoping to be as ingenious as the Weaver Girl, with fine sewing and ingenuity, so it is called the Seven Skillful Days.

In other places, it is customary to take married daughters home on this day, so it is called' Daughter's Day'. In addition, some state and county literati, in order to show their books and literary talent, take out their books to dry on this day, also known as the "book drying festival".
