The earliest history of Qixi can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. It is said that colored women in the Han Dynasty often wear needles on July 7th, begging the stars in the sky to bless them.
Later Tang Poetry and Song Poetry gradually produced more descriptions about Chinese Valentine's Day, and some recorded that Emperor Taizong and his harem ladies always held a feast on Qixi, and the ladies-in-waiting played tricks on each other, so this custom spread to the people and gradually became a day of public celebration.
The story of Valentine's Day in China:
There are many versions of China's Valentine's Day story circulating among the people. After thousands of years of development and evolution, it has gradually formed a statement that everyone agrees with. According to folklore, Valentine's Day in China is related to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, who was originally the granddaughter of the Queen Mother and was responsible for weaving clouds in the sky. Cowherd is the child of a poor family on earth. He lived by herding cattle since he was a child.
Cowherd was originally a poor second generation. How did he attack and marry Bai? It turns out that the cow released by the cowherd is unusual, and it can talk and come up with some whimsy. When the cow saw Cowherd's pity, she told him that there was a weaver girl in the sky who would bathe in the Milky Way and let Cowherd steal her clothes. Without clothes, the weaver girl can't go back to heaven, so she has to marry him as her wife.
