Today is Chinese traditional Valentine’s Day-Qixi. Celebrating the magic of love on Qixi Festival, may love always find a way, happy Qixi Festival!
The Qixi Festival, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, is a Chinese festival celebrating the annual meeting of Zhinü and Niulang in Chinese mythology. They are separated by the Milky Way but allowed to reunite once a year, thanks to a bridge of magpies.
The tale of The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl has been celebrated in the Qixi Festival since the Han dynasty. The earliest-known reference to this famous myth dates back to more than 2,600 years ago, which was told in a poem from the Classic of Poetry. This festival is a beautiful reminder of enduring love and devotion.
