●Qixi Festival
The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl cross the Tianhe River from the Magpie Bridge to meet each other in the legend. People think of the Weaver Girl as a hard-working, kind-hearted and clever goddess, so on the night of July 7th, young girls and young women will come out to perform worship rituals and beg for skills from the Weaver Girl, hoping that they can be as dexterous as the Weaver Girl. With hands and a smart heart, you will live a happy life.
Because Qixi Festival is closely related to women's affairs, it is also called "Daughter's Day" and is Women's Day among traditional Chinese festivals.
There is a custom of eating delicious food during the Chinese Valentine's Day. The contents of Qiao Shi include fruits and various kinds of pastries, and the customs vary from place to place. After all kinds of delicious food are made, they are displayed on several tables in the courtyard, as if they are invited to be judged by the Weaver Girl in the sky. Then everyone ate various clever foods while watching the distant night sky, thinking that this would make people smarter.
In the Han Dynasty, people began to beg the Weaver Girl for help. Not only do you pray for dexterity, but you also pray for wealth, a happy and sweet marriage and children as soon as possible.
●Customs of the Chinese Valentine's Day (Related links: Local Customs)
The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl has been passed down for thousands of years, and many interesting folk customs have been derived.
The highlight of Chinese Valentine’s Day is mainly the girls! Because according to legend, the Weaver Girl was so skillful that she could weave heavenly clothes as beautiful as clouds. In order to have the skillful hands of the Weaver Girl, a custom of "begging for skill" developed among girls. The custom of begging for clever things may have been formed as early as the Han Dynasty, but it was only later combined with the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. The needles used for begging for skill can be divided into double holes, five holes, seven holes, and nine holes. On the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, hold the silk thread in your hand and thread the needle under the moonlight to see whoever goes through it first will be "successful". Another method of throwing needles and divination is to put a basin of water in the sun at noon on Chinese Valentine's Day. After a while, the dust in the space will form a thin film on the water. At this time, throw the needle into the water. With the support of the film, the needle will float on the water. Look at the shadows of needles in the water. If they take the shape of clouds, flowers, birds and animals, it is a coincidence. On the contrary, if the shadow appears as thin as a line or as thick as a mallet, it means that you have failed to get it right. Some women collect various flowers, put them in copper basins filled with water, expose them in the courtyard, and apply them on their face the next day. It is said that the skin can be made delicate and white. Some women pound impatiens flowers, extract the juice, and dye their ring fingers and little fingernails, which is called "red nails." Some women also sing the "Song of Begging Skills": "Begging for skill, begging for looks, begging for understanding, begging for looks, begging for my parents to live for thousands of years, and begging for my sisters for thousands of years." There is an incense table below, where fruits and fairy flowers are offered to the Weaver Girl to beg for wisdom. According to records, there was a woman named Ding in Caizhou who was very good at female prostitutes. One year when she was begging for luck on Chinese Valentine's Day, she saw a meteor falling on her incense burner. When I looked at it the next morning, it turned out to be a golden shuttle. From then on, her "ingenious ideas improved more and more." There are so many ways to beg for skill, even offerings to the Weaver Girl can be used. An indispensable part of the offerings are fruits. If there are Xizi (a kind of small spider) spinning webs on the fruits at night, it means that the woman is lucky. Those who were more particular, such as the palace maids of the Tang Dynasty, would put the Xizi in a small box and open it the next morning. If the net is not well tied, there will be little begging.
There is also a theory of eavesdropping on cries. It is said that one must be a virgin. When the crowd is quiet at night, she quietly walks next to the ancient well or under the grape trellis, and listens with bated breath. If you can hear the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl talking or crying, this girl will be lucky.
When women ask for advice, men are not idle either. According to popular legend, July 7th is Kuixing's birthday. Kuixing is an important figure in literary affairs. Scholars who want to gain fame especially respect Kuixing, so they must worship Kuixing on the Chinese Valentine's Day and pray for him to bless them with good luck in examinations. Kuixing Ye is Kuiduxing. Kuixing in the Twenty-Eight Constellations is the first star of the Big Dipper, and it is also the Kuixing or the leader. In ancient times, when scholars won the top prize, they were called "Dakui Tianxiashi" or "won the first prize in one fell swoop" because Kuixing was in charge of examination luck.
According to folklore, Lord Kuixing was ugly, with spots on his face and a lameness. Someone wrote a limerick to make fun of him: If you don't show it, what's the use of decorating it with lead? Even if it's lead, don't cover it up. Marrying Magu makes two beauties, and the results of the hive are perfect. There are claws below the eyebrows, and geese are treading on the sand beside the mouth and nose. Don't be tempted to take a nap in front of the eaves, while the wind blows plum blossoms from your forehead. Xiangjun's jade toe is the most bizarre, one step up and one step down. The body feels like dancing when the movements are moving, and the movements are as fluttering as the mouth. Just because the world is full of dangers, I am so tired that all my beauty is gone. Mo Xiao's waist branches are often half-folded, and sometimes they sway in various ways.
However, this Mr. Kuixing was very ambitious and worked hard, and he even passed high school. During the emperor's palace examination, he was asked why his face was covered with spots, and he replied: "The pockmarked face is full of stars." When asked why his feet were lame, he replied: "One-legged jump from the Dragon Gate." The emperor was very satisfied and admitted him.
Another completely different legend says that although Lord Kuixing was full of knowledge during his lifetime, he failed every exam, so he was so angry that he threw himself into the river and committed suicide. Unexpectedly, he was rescued by a turtle and ascended to heaven to become the Kuixing. Because Kuixing can influence the academic fortunes of scholars, scholars solemnly worship him every July 7th, his birthday.
Young men and women beg for wisdom and skills, hoping that their skills will be superior to others, while married, old, poor and rich all have their own wishes, so Qixi Festival has become a day to make wishes. .
On the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day, when worshiping the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, you should immediately bow down and express your wishes. Whether it is begging for wealth, longevity or a son, everything will come true. But there can only be one wish at a time, and it will take three years of continuous begging to come true.
It is said that the Milky Way on Chinese Valentine's Day can also predict the harvest of that year. If the Milky Way is clear, the harvest will be good, and the price of food will be low; if the Milky Way is gray, and the harvest will be bad, the price of food will be high. In some areas, "Young Seedlings Festival" is held on Chinese Valentine's Day, which is also a wish-making activity.
After Buddhism was introduced to China, the Han people absorbed this god's name from the Buddhist scriptures and used it to name their dolls. Every year on July 7th, in Kaifeng's "Panlou Street, the tiles outside Dongsong Gate, the tiles outside Zhouxiliang Gate, the North Gate, South Zhuquemen Street and Maxing Street all sell grinding and drinking music. Small plastic clay ears." In fact, the grinding music made later in the Song Dynasty is no longer a small clay doll. On the contrary, it has become more and more refined. The size and posture of Mohele vary. The largest one is as high as three feet, which is as high as a real child. The materials used include carved ivory or dragon-flavored Buddha's hand incense. The decorations of Mohele are even more exquisite, with painted wood carvings as railings or red sand and green cages as covers. , the toys in their hands are often decorated with gold, jade and precious stones, and a pair of toys often cost thousands of dollars.
Among the mojole sold in Tokyo, the one from Suzhou is the most exquisite and is known as the best in the world. The mojole used to pay tribute to the palace is not to mention cute and exquisite. Some of the more luxurious ones are even made of gold and silver. In fact, Mohele should be an auspicious thing offered by women when begging for a child, but from Mohele's life, we cannot find any deeds related to Chinese Valentine's Day or begging for a child. Despite this, the hands of Mohele worshipers on Chinese Valentine's Day often hold a lotus leaf. Therefore, on Chinese Valentine's Day, many children also dress up in bright clothes, holding lotus leaves, and parade and play in the streets and alleys.
In addition to Mohule, in the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianjing City also launched a variety of special products for the festival a few days before the Chinese Valentine's Day. For example, characters in the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl are cast in wax, or they are made into the shapes of vultures, mandarin ducks, and other animals, which are called "floating on water." There are also wax baby dolls that women buy and float at home, thinking they are auspicious for having a child, and they are called "huasheng". A few days before Chinese Valentine's Day, a layer of soil is spread on a small wooden board, and corn seeds are sown so that green seedlings can grow. Then small huts, flowers and trees are placed on it to make it look like a small village in a farmhouse. For "shell plate", you can soak mung beans, adzuki beans, wheat, etc. in a magnetic bowl, wait for it to grow buds, and then tie them into a bunch with red and blue silk ropes, which is called "seed growth", also known as "seed growth". "Five-year-old pot" or "Five-year-old flower pot". It is also called "Pao Qiao" in various parts of the south, and the bean sprouts that grow are called Qiao Ya. They even replace needles with Qiao sprouts and throw them on the water to beg for Qiao. July is also the time when lotus flowers are in full bloom. Some people used their brains to break off the unopened lotus flowers and make fake double-headed lotuses. The shape was cute and very popular among people at the time.
The colorful patterns of many seasonal plants fully demonstrate the liveliness of a midsummer festival. The unique hot sunshine in summer has promoted another Chinese Valentine's Day custom - drying books and clothes. Modern scientific reports point out that ultraviolet rays contained in sunlight do have a bactericidal effect. There are several interesting stories in history about the custom of literati drying books and clothes.
According to reports, Sima Yi was highly suspicious of Cao Cao due to his high position and power. In order to protect himself due to the political darkness at that time, he pretended to be insane and hid at home. Emperor Wu of Wei was still not at ease, so he sent a close aide named Ling Shi to secretly investigate the truth. It was July 7th, and Sima Yi, who was pretending to be crazy, was also posting books at home. He ordered Shi to go back and report to Emperor Wu of Wei. Emperor Wu of Wei immediately ordered Sima Yi to return to the court to serve, otherwise he would be imprisoned. Sima Yi just obeyed the order and returned to the court. There is another kind of person who, in troubled times, expresses his depression by being dissolute. They despise etiquette and oppose current customs. Volume 25 of Liu Yiqing's "Shi Shuo Shi Yu" says that on July 7, everyone was drying books, but Hao Long ran to lie down in the sun. When people asked him why, he replied: "I am drying books." On the one hand, this is to despise the custom of posting books, on the other hand, it is to show off one's inner talents. Showing your belly means showing your books. The custom of drying clothes in the Han Dynasty created opportunities for wealthy families to show off their wealth during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Ruan Xian, one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove", looked down upon this style of work. On July 7, when his neighbor was drying his clothes, he saw that the shelves were full of Lingluo silk and satin, which was dazzling. Ruan Xian calmly picked up a shabby piece of clothing with a bamboo pole. When someone asked him what he was doing, he said: "I can't escape from the vulgarity, let's talk about it!" Judging from these few stories, we know that the Chinese Valentine's Day was the time to post books. , How old is the custom of drying clothes. Most of the stories mentioned above are anecdotes about the Chinese Valentine's Day celebrated by the people, and how did the ancient palaces spend the Chinese Valentine's Day? As the king of a country, the pomp of the royal family is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. Emperor Qi Wu of the Southern Dynasties once built a city tower. Every Chinese Valentine's Day, palace residents would climb the tower to thread needles, which was called the "needle threading tower." The famous romantic emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty also attached great importance to Qixi Festival. He built a begging tower in the palace, which was a hundred feet high and could accommodate dozens of people. Various melons, fruits and wine are also displayed upstairs to offer sacrifices to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the afternoon. The concubines in the palace were each given nine-hole needles and five-color threads, and they threaded the needles under the moon. The one who passed through first would be lucky. Music was played at the same time, making them happy and attracting everyone to imitate.
●Foods of the Chinese Valentine's Day
Qiaoguo is the most famous food for the Chinese Valentine's Day. Qiaoguo, also known as "Qiaoguo", comes in many styles. The main ingredient is oily molasses.
"Tokyo Menghualu" calls it "laughing tired children" and "fruit-eating patterns", and the patterns include Na Xiang, Fang Sheng, etc. During the Song Dynasty, Qixi Qiaoguo was already sold on the streets.
If you buy a pound of Qiao Guo, there will also be a pair of them wearing battle armor, such as door god dolls, known as the "Fruit Eater Generals". The method of making Qiaoguo is: first put the sugar in a pot and melt it into syrup, then add flour and sesame seeds, mix well and spread it out on the table to thin, let it cool and then cut it into long cubes with a knife, and fold it into a spindle shape. Dough-fry the dough until golden brown. Women with skillful hands can also shape various patterns related to the legend of the Chinese Valentine's Day. In addition, the fruits used in begging can also be varied. Or carve the melons and fruits into exotic flowers and birds, or emboss patterns on the surface of the melon skin. Called "huagua"
Qiaoguo and flower melon are the most common Chinese Valentine's Day foods. In history, each dynasty had different food customs. For example, it was popular in the Wei Dynasty to serve soup cakes on July 7th. The festival foods of the Tang Dynasty included cutting cakes on July 7th, and designated July 7th as the book-drying festival. Three provinces and six ministries or less would each be given a certain amount of gold to prepare for the banquet, which was called the "book-drying party". Chinese Valentine's Day is also a suitable day for dispensing medicine. It is said that there is a secret recipe using pine and cypress as medicinal materials. This magical pill is made from the dew on July 7th. Taking one pill can extend your life by ten years, and taking two pills can extend your life by twenty years. In addition, there are also pine nuts, cypress seeds, lotus leaves, etc., all of which are called elixirs of immortality. The more practical prescriptions include sun-drying sophora japonica juice to treat hemorrhoids, frying bitter melon to treat eyes, picking melon stems to treat diarrhea, and so on.
●The Chinese Valentine's Day
Among the many Chinese Valentine's Day legends, the love story between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei is the most popular. It was extremely common for the emperor in ancient times to have three palaces and six courtyards. Every beauties in the harem try their best to win the favor of the king. The biggest asset they rely on is their beauty. However, as the saying goes: "The beauty fades, the love grows." Even Concubine Yang, who was favored by three thousand people, could not help but have the fear of losing her autumn fan.

In addition to envying their steadfast love, she also felt emotional about her own status. He couldn't help but reveal his feelings. After hearing this, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was deeply moved, and he made a vow with her to "be husband and wife for the rest of our lives." This poignant love story has become a household name through the colorful depictions of later generations of literati.
Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" and Hong Sheng's "The Palace of Eternal Life" are both immortal masterpieces in the history of literature. In "Song of Everlasting Regret", "On July 7th, in the Palace of Eternal Life, when no one is whispering in the middle of the night, I would like to be a winged bird in the sky, and a twig on the ground." It is also a famous saying that has been praised for a while.
Another romantic king, Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, lived an elegant and elegant life in the palace before the country was destroyed. Every Chinese Valentine's Day, women are ordered to use red and white tiles in the palace to open them to symbolize the Milky Way, and then close them again the next day. After Empress Li surrendered to the Song Dynasty, she lived a life of house arrest. One Chinese Valentine's Day, because he missed his homeland, he wrote a poem: "Last night there was an east wind in the small building, and the homeland cannot bear to look back in the bright moonlight." He also invited his former palace maids to sing. Song Taizong was furious when he found out and ordered his death. A generation of poets died because of seven.

The chariot of Princess Tongchang of the Tang Dynasty was decorated with five-color sachets, which filled the road with fragrance every time she traveled.
2. The history and function of smelly eyes.
The history of making and wearing sachets can be traced back to at least the Warring States Period. Qu Yuan's "Li Sao" contains "Hujiang Li and Pi Zhi Xi, Ren Qiulan thought they were admirable". Jiangli, Pizhi, and Qiulan are all herbs. Lave means connecting. Pei means wearing a curtain, here it refers to both the sachet and the wearing. The whole sentence means to carry a pendant full of herbs with you. This shows that sachets were already an ornament as early as the Warring States Period where Qu Zi lived.
The "Book of Rites" of the Han Dynasty says: "Men and women who are not wearing hairpins...the hairpins will make their faces smelly." The smell of the face is the sachet, which shows that in the Han Dynasty, minor men and women wore sachets.
In the Tang and Song Dynasties, sachets gradually became a special product for ladies and beauties. And male officials began to wear purses. Some officials simply put their purses on their court uniforms when they went to court. Of course, the purses and sachets at that time were not exactly the same. The sachets mainly contained herbs, while the purses were mainly used to "hold handkerchiefs and fine things."
By the Qing Dynasty, sachets had become a token of love.
A small sachet carries a deep love and conveys it to the one you love. Hang it on your waist or put it on the bedside day and night. You can see things and think about people, and accompany your feelings and love. << Dream of Red Mansions >> Chapter 17 A "quarrel" between Hui Baoyu and Daiyu was caused by the gift of purses.
As history evolves into modern times, sachets are mostly used as gifts during the folk Dragon Boat Festival to pray for good luck and ward off evil.
The functions of the sachet mainly include the following points:
1. Beautify yourself.
The ancient people wore wide robes with long sleeves and broad and rough outlines, which required some attention to detail. The sachet has a fragrance, which comes from the Chinese medicinal materials inside, such as realgar, mugwort leaves, borneol, huoxiang, atractylodes, etc. It is wrapped with silk cloth, and the fragrance is overflowing. It is then tied with five-color silk strings to form a rope to make various The shapes include rectangular, square, triangular, angular, heart-shaped, rhombus, etc., and are embroidered with flowers, grass, insects, birds, Arhat coins, etc. The styles are exquisite, exquisite and eye-catching, and have the function of decoration and appreciation.
2. Intense festival.
"May embroidered sachet" is a folk custom across the country. Xiangbao is a must-have item during the Dragon Boat Festival. Every Dragon Boat Festival, villagers get up early, eat rice dumplings, drink realgar wine, and put mugwort leaves on their doors. Children wear small sachets of various animals and plants on their chests, carry crab or frog sachets on their backs, and climb two horizontal sachets on their shoulders. The tiger (as the patron saint) wears a tiger head hat and tiger head embroidered shoes. He also wears a bellyband embroidered with five poisons or appliqués to show off on his clothes. His hands and ankles are tied with five-color ropes, which means five-color soil. "Continue the life rope" to show peace. "The pomegranate blossoms and horns are new, and who's drinking wine today doesn't have bottles? It makes people laugh at the rivers and lakes, but they follow the mugwort leaves to the Pearl Gate." This ancient poem describes the various customs of people celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival at that time. Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to eating rice dumplings and planting mugwort leaves, people also bring sachets to their children.
3. Prevent pests and diseases.
Wearing a sachet is a way to prevent plague. When infectious diseases began to rise in the summer, in order to ensure the health of the children, the ancients used Chinese medicine to make sachets and tied them to the skirts and shoulders of the children. Commonly used Chinese herbal medicines in sachets are aromatic Chinese herbal medicines that can dispel turbidity, such as atractylodes, kaempferia, angelica, calamus, musk, styrax, borneol, bezoar, chuanxiong, cyperus rotunda, magnolia and other herbs that aromatize and dispel turbidity, and contain strong volatile substances. . Therefore, there is a saying among the people that "bringing a vanilla bag will prevent you from being attacked by five insects".
In recent years, my country's medical community has conducted research on the formula of traditional sachets and conducted many pharmacological tests, which show that this aromatic substance enters the human body through the respiratory tract, can excite the nervous system, and continuously stimulate the body's immune system. Promote the production of antibodies, inhibit the growth of various pathogenic bacteria, and improve the body's disease resistance. At the same time, after the drug odor molecules are absorbed by the human body, they can also promote the activity of digestive glands and increase secretion, thus increasing the activity of digestive enzymes and enhancing appetite. Now, researchers have discovered through experiments that allowing children to frequently place sachets in their pockets and pillows has certain preventive and auxiliary treatment functions for infectious diseases such as influenza, diphtheria, chickenpox, meningococcal meningitis, and measles.
4. Show respect.
According to the "Inner Principles of the Book of Rites": "When a son serves his parents, he wears it on his left and right sides;... Jinying is suitable for his parents, uncles and aunts." That is to say, young people should wear "jinying" when they go to see their parents and elders. "That is, a woven sachet to show respect.
5. Express your true feelings.
Because sachets are portable items, lovers often give them to each other as gifts to express their love.
6. Show glory.
Most of the exotic spices in the Tang Dynasty sachets came from foreign tributes, and the imperial court also regarded the sachets as rewards. I feel honored to be rewarded by the imperial court.
3. Types of odor.
1. Most of the sachets feature flowers and animals, using metaphors and symbols to express various emotional sustenance and beautiful yearnings. Pisces, twin butterflies, dragons, etc. are used to symbolize love, intercourse, and fertility between the sexes; lotuses, lotus flowers, peonies, plum blossoms, etc. are used to symbolize women; magpies climbing plum blossoms and bees picking flowers are used to symbolize men; pine cranes symbolize longevity and pomegranates symbolize fertility. .
In the usual concept, a sachet is a token of love. The emotional codes it conveys are diverse, subtle and beautiful because of the different images embroidered on it. Many sachets have the image of fish. Fish is a metaphor for love in traditional Chinese culture. Fish symbolizes men and lotus symbolizes women. From this point of view, the poem "Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River, where are the lotus leaves in the fields" is actually an erotic poem. Such a poem, coupled with the fish lotus sachet, has a lingering effect.
When the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty asked Concubine Yang Guifei to bear the responsibility for causing the national war in Maweipo. After Yang Guifei was hanged, her body was hastily buried on the spot. After regaining Xijing, Tang Xuanzong sent people to quietly move her body for burial. The eunuch found that only the white bones of the imperial concubine were left. Only the sachet she wore on her chest when she died was still intact. He took off the sachet and returned to life. When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty saw the sachet, he was struck by the object and missed her. The joy of singing and dancing in Lishan Mountain was still there, but his love left only the sachet in front of him! He put the sachet into his sleeve and burst into tears. Eighty years later, the poet Zhang Hu lamented about this thing and wrote the poem "Taizhen Incense Bag": "The golden concubine's little flower pouch is consumed, and the old fragrance grows on her chest. Whoever regains it for the king will spend his whole life." Grudge is in the heart.
"No one can untie this little sachet for Xuanzong anymore. I can't tell whether it's love or hate. Who can untie it except the jade ring? In "A Dream of Red Mansions", Sister Lin also made it for Brother Bao. When making a sachet, every stitch and thread embodies her emotions. Daiyu once misunderstood that Baoyu had given away the sachet that she had given him, and she got angry and cut off the other sachet she was making, but Baoyu was wearing it next to her body. , how can you give it away? When the youth is gone and the red rain is gone, I still see the beauty when I see the sachet, but I am afraid that Baoyu can no longer bear to look at it.
2. Use the homophony of Chinese characters. People making metaphors can be seen everywhere, such as "Early Born Takako" (a combination of dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds) for newlyweds; and "Old Childhood" (a combination of cats and butterflies playing with peonies) for long-lived elderly people. It means that life in old age is very interesting); the "lucky and longevity doll" given to children (with a naive doll as the main body, surrounded by bats and peaches, means that the child will have good fortune and longevity in this life)
In order to prevent diseases and keep fit, the elderly generally like to wear plum blossoms, chrysanthemums, peaches, apples, lotus flowers, dolls riding fish, dolls hugging roosters, double lotuses and other shapes, which symbolize the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, all the best, love between husband and wife, and family harmony; Children like birds and animals, such as tigers and leopards; monkeys play Yu, fighting cocks and chasing rabbits, etc., which are full of liveliness; young people are the most particular about wearing sachets. If they are lovers in love, then passionate girls will have to make them carefully early One or two unique sachets are given to your lover before the festival. The young man wearing the sachet given by his sweetheart will naturally arouse the comments of the men and women around him, praising the young man's ingenuity.
The sachet, with its simple and exquisite artistic creation, carries the spiritual sentiments of generations of Chinese ancestors, men, women and children. It carries the profound cultural connotation for thousands of years and has become a petite and exquisite historical evidence of the Chinese nation's inheritance of civilization.
