As for the July 7th customs in various places, it is estimated that few people are interested.
This day, in Heze, is actually a Girlfriend's Day, a gathering day for girlfriends' crowdfunding, and a day for seven little girls to gather their wallets in jiaozi. Jiaozi's purpose is to bite the needle tip. Whoever bites the needle tip is smart, which means they are smart, and the little girls are together. Unlike in A Dream of Red Mansions, they struggle for poems all day. In the past, they still thought that "a woman without talent is virtue." Little girl, in Heze dialect, means unmarried girl. In Mandarin, it is difficult to find a suitable word to replace it.
Little girls together, of course, only compare with ingenuity, ingenuity is difficult to compare, so they can only compare with cleverness. This cleverness, I think, is not just coincidence, but probably means luck and blessing. I always want to be lucky and have some fun on holidays.
It's not July 7th yet. There are always a few little girls who are usually on good terms. They must gather seven people. This must be the story of the seven fairies. Gather seven people, agree who will attend the festival, and then start crowdfunding, that is, exchange money to collect money. Everyone will take some new wheat from home, change it into flour, and then change some money. On July 7th, they will go to the market to cut meat, buy vegetables and oil, and prepare to pack all kinds of raw materials for jiaozi.
Bao jiaozi is the basic handiwork of the little girl. She is good at kneading dough, rolling skin or wrapping bags. Everyone always has one or two advantages. Seven people got together, talking and laughing, and got jiaozi. When wrapping jiaozi, be sure to wrap seven embroidery needles and put them aside alone.
It's getting dark, so you should offer fruit first, and more or less, worship the weaver girl first. After that, I ate seven jiaozi wrapped in embroidery needles. Jiaozi cooked, one by one, and began to bite skillfully. Pick up the cherry and take a sip. "I bit the tip of the needle!" "Some people laugh happily, because the person who bites the needle tip means biting Joe. Another little girl said, "I bit the needle nose again. Last year it was the needle nose. "The girl who was bitten by a needle nose was always unhappy at first, but this unhappiness was thrown at the man Chang Di in an instant.
No one will really believe it. We're just together for fun.
Jiaozi has finished seven embroidery needles, and then they will cook another jiaozi.
Time slips away quietly in the twittering laughter. It's time to say goodbye again, and I'm reluctant to part. After all, on July 7th next year, maybe if these seven people didn't get married, they wouldn't be able to attend this kind of party.
At that time, the sky was always blue. You could see the stars and rivers were white. You could also see the Altair and the Jiao Jiao River girl.
Adults say that at midnight, cowherd and weaver girl can be seen meeting under the grape trellis.
In the distance, the child lay in the arms of an adult, struggling with his eyes, expecting the arrival of the child, but still listening to the story told by the adult over and over again, making a slight snoring.
The moonlight is like autumn water, the phoenix tree is sparse, and the autumn insects begin to sleep.
