The Qixi Festival, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, is a Chinese festival that celebrates the annual meeting of the cowherd and
weaver girl in Chinese mythology. Chinese Valentine's Day falls on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar.
It falls on the seventh day of the 7th month on the Chinese calendar. It is sometimes called the Double Seventh Festival, the Chinese
Valentine's Day, the Night of Sevens, or the Magpie Festival.
On that night, unmarried girls prayed to the Weaving Maid star for the special gift.
When the star Vega was high up in the sky, girls performed a small test by placing a needle on the water's surface: If the needle
did not sink, the girl was considered to be ready to find a husband.
Once a year, on this day, girls could wish for anything their hearts desired.
