Valentine’s Day is the most romantic day in the world. In the western country, it is on 14th February every year. But in China, this big Asian country, it is on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month. Chinese people call it Double Seventh Festival. And this year the big romantic day is August 23, which means it’s coming around the corner. Very soon! Yeah, party time for the Chinese lovers. If you have a Chinese girlfriend, big chance to show love!
But before you get high about that, let me introduce WHAT IS CHINESE VALENTINE’S DAY to you dear people. In fact, there’s a beautiful story behind this romantic festival.
Niu Lang & Zhi Nu
Long, long ago, there was an honest and kind-hearted fellow named Niu Lang (Cowherd), who lived a poor life, working on the farm with an ox everyday. In the mean time, the youngest of the seven celestial princesses, Zhi Nu (Girl Weaver), had grown tired of the privileged but secluded life in the heavenly palace. She longed for a mundane life she often saw down beneath her. One day, she descended onto Earth secretly and fell in love with the kind-hearted Niu Lang. They got married soon, and had a son and a daughter. The Cowherd farmed in the field and the Girl Weaver wove at home. They lived a happy life together.
Unfortunately, the God of Heaven soon found out and ordered the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens to bring the Girl Weaver back. With the help of the celestial ox, the Cowherd flew to heaven with his son and daughter. At the time when he was about to catch up with his wife, the Queen Mother took off one of her gold hairpins and made a stroke. One billowy river appeared in front of the Cowherd. The Cowherd and Girl Weaver were separated on the two banks forever. But their love touched the magpies, so tens of thousands of magpies came to build a bridge for them to meet each other. The Queen Mother was eventually moved and allowed them to meet each year on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month. Hence their meeting day is called “Qi Xi” (Double Seventh).
