On May 20th, 2006, Chinese Valentine's Day was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage by the People's Republic of China and the State Council. Chinese Valentine's Day's custom of asking for cleverness through needles is the earliest way of asking for cleverness, which began in Han Dynasty and flowed to later generations. "Miscellaneous Notes on Xijing" said: "Women in the Han Dynasty often wear seven-hole needles in the Kaijin Building on July 7, and people have Xi Zhi." The Chronicle of Jingchu Years Old by Liang Zongmou of the Southern Dynasties said: "On July 7th, it was the women of the evening family who tied the colored floor through seven holes, or used gold and silver as needles." Spider-loving should be clever, which is also an earlier way of begging for cleverness. Its custom is a little later than asking for cleverness with needles, and it probably started in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the Southern Dynasties, Liang Zonggu said, "A Record of the Age of Jingchu"; "It's evening, Chen melon and fruit in court to beg for cleverness. If you have a happy subnet on the melon, you think it corresponds. " This is a variant of the custom of needlework on Qixi Festival, which originates from needlework and is different from needlework. It is a popular Chinese Valentine's Day custom in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Liu Dong and Yu Yizheng's "A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital" in the Ming Dynasty said: "On the afternoon of July 7th, we lost a clever needle. When women are exposed to the water, the water film looks unfamiliar, while the embroidery needle floats and looks at the shadow of the underwater needle. Those who have clouds, flowers, birds and animals, shoes and scissors, and eggplant shadows are called clever begging; Its shadow is as thick as a hammer, as thin as silk, and as straight as axis wax, which is a mistake. " Grinding and drinking music grinding and drinking music is a children's plaything in Chinese Valentine's Day in the old days, that is, a small clay doll, whose image is mostly a lotus leaf half-arm dress and holding a lotus leaf. On July 7th, every year, in Kaifeng, "the tile outside Dongsongmen in Panlou Street, the tile outside Xiliangmen in Zhouzhou, the tile outside Beimen, the street outside Nanzhuquemen and Xingjie Ma, they all sell grinding and drinking music, which is a small plastic puppet".
