Tanabata Qiao Qi
There are several ways to judge the cleverness of beggars on Qixi Festival, such as "piercing needles for cleverness", "liking spiders for cleverness", "piercing needles on the moon", "fighting at night" and "throwing needles for cleverness".
Sister you're in the water?
According to folklore, on Qixi, seven fairies will descend from the sky and bathe in the river. At this time, because the river is polluted with fairy gas, washing will not only bring peach blossom luck, but also prevent diseases. People in Baise and Jingxi of Guangxi believe that the water on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is very holy and clean. The water on Tanabata can not only ward off evil spirits and diseases, but also make them happy in love and life. This custom is related to the legend that the local seven fairies descended to the world to bathe.
Worship the weaver girl
"Worship the Weaver Girl" is purely a matter for girls and young women. Most of them make an appointment with five or six people, at most a dozen people, with friends or neighbors in advance to hold it together. The ceremony is to lay a table in the moonlight, and put tea, wine, fruit, five sons (longan, red dates, hazelnuts, peanuts, melon seeds) and other sacrifices on the table. There are also some flowers, tied with red paper, inserted in the bottle, with a small incense burner in front.
Then, the young women and girls who make an appointment to attend the worship of the Weaver Maid will fast for one day, take a bath and come to their host's house on time. After burning incense in front of the case, everyone will sit around the table and meditate on their thoughts while eating peanuts and melon seeds. If a girl wants to be beautiful or marry a husband, and a young woman wants to have a baby early, she can silently pray to the Weaver Girl. Play until midnight.
