Statement 1:
According to the legend of the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, they can only meet at the Magpie Bridge on July 7th every year.
Statement 2:
A pleasing record. According to Gehong's Miscellanies of Xijing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "women in the Han Dynasty often wear seven-hole needles in the building on July 7, and everyone is ambitious."
Statement 3:
"Seven" and "period" are homophonic, and both the month and the day are "seven", giving people a sense of time. In the folk, it is staged according to time, and when calculating time, it often ends with "July 7".
Statement 4:
"Seven" and "Auspicious" are homophonic, and "July 7th" has a double auspicious meaning, which is an auspicious day.
Statement 5:
"Seven" and "wife" are homophonic, so Qixi has largely become a festival related to women. At the same time, Valentine's Day in China is also called "Daughter's Day".

In fact, love is very simple, that is, I want to be with you, I love you very much, I want to be with you every day, I want to care about your every bit, I want to participate in your future, and I want to be your life partner.
In ancient times, as long as the other party was identified, no matter how far it was, no matter how long it took, both sides would be single-minded and rarely changed their minds. With the gradual acceleration of the pace of life, people's love rhythm is also gradually accelerating.

Official announcements are becoming more and more casual, and natural breakups are becoming more and more common. In fact, I still hope that love can return to its original purest appearance, that is, I like each other and am not disturbed by the outside world. I trust each other, me and * * *, and maintain this relationship, so that love can become reliable and firm and stand the test of time and life. Love is hard work, and only when you give your heart will you get a good return. We look forward to love, but we are not in a hurry to find it. Take your time, and your love will come.
