Chinese Valentine’s Day is often called “Valentine’s Day in China”, but this title is more inclined to the cultural connotation endowed by modern times, which is related to and different from the core meaning of traditional Qixi. From the perspective of correlation, the core legend of Tanabata, “Cowherd and Weaver Girl Meet at the Magpie Bridge”, tells the deep affection of a pair of lovers who cross the Milky Way and spend one day together every year, which naturally has the nature of love, which provides a cultural basis for being called “China Valentine’s Day”. From the differences, the core of the traditional Tanabata is not simply to celebrate love, but to “beg for ingenuity” (girls pray for ingenuity) and “worship the weaver girl” (pray for a beautiful marriage and life), which is more inclined to women’s expectations for skills and a happy life, and is a festival with both “love longing” and “life praying”. Nowadays, the title of “China Valentine’s Day” is the refinement and reconstruction of the cultural connotation of traditional festivals in modern society, which not only retains the romantic core in the legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, but also makes Qixi more suitable for the needs of contemporary people for “love festivals” and become an important node for conveying love.

Chinese Valentine’s Day, also known as the Begging for Clevership Festival, is the most romantic traditional festival of the Chinese nation, bearing the emotion and cultural memory of thousands of years.
According to legend, Tanabata is the day when Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet at the Magpie Bridge.
Lovers separated by the Tianhe River can only meet again on this day by the bridge built by magpies. This deep affection across the Milky Way makes Tanabata a a symbol of love.
In ancient times, there was a custom of “begging for cleverness”. Girls would place needlework, melons and fruits under the moon, and pray for dexterous hands and a beautiful marriage to the weaver girl. The lights were flickering, full of expectations for happiness.
Today, Tanabata is still romantic. People may look up at the starry sky to find the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, or give gifts to each other to tell their hearts, and tradition and modernity blend.
It is not only a legend, but also a carrier for people to express their love and inherit their beautiful expectations, so that every Qixi night is full of yearning for love and reunion and flows quietly in time.
Under the current lunar calendar system, Chinese Valentine’s Day is fixed on the seventh day of July of the lunar calendar every year.
For example, in Chinese Valentine’s Day in 2025, the corresponding Gregorian calendar date is Friday, August 29th.
On this day, the sun is still blazing with summer, but the Milky Way at night is early for romance.
In ancient times, people measured time by the lunar calendar, and the night sky on the seventh day of July was given special significance.
Legend has it that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl crossed the Tianhe River this night, and magpies set up magpie bridges to help the lovers who separated the two places reunite.
Such a romantic legend makes the seventh day of July a day bearing deep feelings.
Throughout the ages, countless literati have splashed ink on this day. “Thin clouds are tricky, flying stars spread hate, and silver and Chinese are all dark.”
When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless people. “The Tanabata in Qin Guan’s works has both the regret of the separation of the Milky Way and the preciousness of meeting.
Nowadays, with the development of the times, people remember the special day of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, and are used to marking Qixi with the Gregorian calendar.
Every Tanabata, the city is full of romantic atmosphere, shopping malls and restaurants launch Tanabata limited activities, and lovers talk to each other, so that this traditional festival continues its unique charm in modern society.
