July 7th is Chinese Valentine's Day, also known as Begging for Skills Festival or Girls' Day, Daughter's Day and Valentine's Day, which is a traditional festival of our people. Every year, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, girls often put seasonal fruits and vegetables in front of the bright moon in the sky on this romantic night, and worship in the sky, begging for the marriage of love and marriage.

Tanabata begging for cleverness comes from the legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. The legendary Weaver Girl is a famous skillful hand, and the knitted needlework can be said to be the best. The white clouds in the sky, the rainbow and the glow are all her masterpieces. Therefore, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, young women and girls will take advantage of the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on the Magpie Bridge to ask the Weaver Girl for help. In the past, people attached great importance to the annual begging activities. On the night of Qixi, families with good conditions decorate lanterns and decorate lanterns on the qiqiao building built in advance to enjoy the festival.

Ordinary people also eat and drink, put melons and fruits, burn incense in court, worship the cowherd and the weaver girl, and beg the weaver girl for ingenuity. Qian Weiyan, a poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote a poem, "It's too far to smell the heavenly language, and it's even more difficult to build a three-story begging house", which describes the scene of begging for cleverness on Qixi. The content and form of old begging are very interesting.
