【雲上嶺南】The 2021 Qiqiao cultural festival, more than just Chinese Valentine’s Day, will be held in Guangzhou
2021廣州乞巧文化節來了
Falling on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Qixi Festival, renowned as the Chinese Valentine’s day, is a romantic festival in ancient China. The day, which is based on a romantic tale, is also related to young girls 「praying for nimble fingers」 or Qiqiao (intelligence). This year, various activities, such as the worship ceremony to pay tribute to the Weaver Girl and a fashion show, will take place at Zhu Village, Tianhe District, Guangzhou City, which is not only just to celebrate love but to show people’s awe for the beauty of nature and to ask for wisdom and fortune.
農曆七月初七的七夕節是中國傳統節日中最具浪漫色彩的一個,被稱為「中國的情人節」。其實乞巧民俗,是通過穿針鬥巧等活動祈求智慧和巧藝。今年廣州將在乞巧文化的發源地廣州市天河區珠村舉行擺七娘、拜七娘等傳統活動還有傳統與潮流碰撞的國潮華服秀,不僅僅是愛的宣發還是人們崇敬自然、尋求智慧和財富的象徵。
