Begging for Qiao is a traditional festival of Han nationality, also known as Begging for Qiao Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Seven Qiao Festival or Seven Sisters's Birthday. Ancient women hoped to emulate the cowherd and the weaver girl, so every time Seven Sisters was born, she would offer sacrifices to Seven Sisters, praying for their ingenuity and happy marriage.
On the night of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, girls in new clothes beg for wisdom and cleverness from the weaver girl in the yard, which is called "begging for cleverness". It is said that qimei is an expert in weaving heaven. In the past, women "begged" Qi Mei to teach her clever skills. In fact, the so-called "seeking cleverness" is just "fighting cleverness".
