Qixi Festival, also known as Qiqiao Festival, Qijie Festival, Daughter's Day, Qiqiao Festival, Qiniang Festival, Qixi Festival, Niu Bull Mother's Day and Qiaoxi Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival. Qixi Festival is derived from the worship of the stars. It is the traditional birthday of the Seven Sisters. It is called "Qixi" because the activities of worshiping the "Seven Sisters" are held on July 7th. It is the traditional custom of Qixi to worship Qijie, pray for blessings and wishes, beg for skillful arts, sit and watch the morning glory Vega, pray for marriage, and store Qixi water. With the development of history, Tanabata Festival has been endowed with the beautiful love legend of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", which has become a festival symbolizing love and thus is regarded as the most romantic traditional festival in China.
Qixi Festival is not only a festival of worship to Seven Sisters, but also a festival of love. It is a comprehensive festival with the folk legend of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" as the carrier, with the theme of praying, begging, love and women as the main body. Legend has it that every year on the seventh day of July, Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet at the magpie bridge in the sky.
