Beyond the millennia-old legend, how much do you know about Qixi’s traditional customs? Today, let’s explore the romantic essence of this special day together.
How Much Do You Know About Qixi Traditions?
1.**Praying for Skills Under the Moon**
In ancient times, women would set up incense holders in their courtyards on Qixi night, threading colorful silk through seven-hole needles while praying to the Weaver Girl Star for dexterity and a happy marriage. Modern couples can try a "Needle-Threading Challenge"—see who has the steadier hands, with the loser giving the winner a 10-minute massage!
2. Drying Books and Clothes
A Han Dynasty tradition where scholars dried books and women aired out clothes. Today, couples can reorganize their bookshelves and closets together, rediscovering little details about each other’s lives in the process.
3. Worshipping Kuixing( the God of Literature)
Scholars once prayed to Kuixing, the God of Literature, for academic success. Modern couples can instead write "Future Wish Lists" for each other, setting shared goals to achieve together.
