Which country celebrates Valentine's Day?

This is divided into two Valentine's Days, Valentine's Day in the West and Valentine's Day in China.

Western valentine's day

Valentine's Day in the west is on February 14 every year, which is one of the traditional festivals in the west.

The origin of Western Valentine's Day: It originated from Christianity. In order to commemorate Valentine's sacrifice for justice and pure love, Christians designated the day when he was executed as "Saint Valentine's Day", and later generations changed it to "Valentine's Day".

This is the origin of Valentine's Day, a festival to commemorate love. So now, on Valentine's Day, affectionate men and women should give gifts to each other, especially chocolates, flowers and greeting cards, so as to enhance their feelings, and they usually have candlelight dinner together in the evening. This festival is also an important festival representing the relationship between couples. As long as the other person is willing to come out to spend the holidays with you, it means that they are affectionate.

We in China have celebrated Western Valentine's Day in recent decades, which is basically the same as that in foreign countries. But basically, men give women chocolates and small gifts and pay for candlelight dinners at night. All the expenses are borne by men. This is the current situation in China. Don't ask me why I know, especially those unmarried years. There are definitely not a few buddies whose wallets were emptied on this day. I'm just one of them.

As an experienced person, let me talk about the gift I gave at the beginning. In order to chase a girlfriend, you can't do it without a little money, even if the wallet can't bear it. Although I don't want to, why do people in China celebrate festivals in western countries? However, because of my girlfriend's strong smile pressure and her own circle drawn on February 14, I don't want to give it to her.

A bunch of roses, nine is enough, which means a long time, willing to stay with each other for a long time.

Now you can make a box of chocolates by DIY, which is more intimate than that bought in the supermarket, but the price is also very beautiful. Remember what you can do.

Small gifts are usually jewels. I gave a necklace, a watch, a bracelet and a bag. A girl can never have too many bags, even if there are seven or eight, she can't understand a girl's heart.

A handmade greeting card is not afraid of your jokes. As an old man, I bought a bunch of cards in Zhang Qingzhu to piece together a new Valentine's Day card. It seems a little embarrassing, but in fact this kind of thing is really meaningful. After all, it was made by hand, and the others were bought with no intention.

Although this is a traditional festival in western countries, young men and women are also very keen on this day now. Remember, you can't forget this day, otherwise I'm afraid you can't stand the thunder and anger of your girlfriend and have a cold war with you, but you forget it. These are all lessons.

Qixi Festival

Our traditional festival in China, Valentine's Day in China, is Valentine's Day in China, which falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year.

Origin of Valentine's Day in China: There are several versions of this China Valentine's Day in China.

The first is the ancient festival of worshipping Seven Sisters, praying, wishing, seeking skillful art and marriage on the seventh day of July. I think this is a reliable statement.

The second is to commemorate the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met at the Magpie Bridge on the seventh day of July. We all know that this is a fairy tale, so it is not credible.

The third argument is that "the seventh day of July" is related to the ancient people's worship of numbers and time. In ancient times, people listed the first month, February 2nd, March 3rd, May 5th, June 6th, July 7th and September 9th as auspicious days. This statement is also more reliable.

Anyway, Qixi has a history of thousands of years, and it is a festival handed down by our ancestors. Let's commemorate this festival in the way of our ancestors.

My girlfriend is from the south, and their trip to Tanabata is quite lively. I was lucky to have been there once and caught up. As northerners, our hometown has no customs and nothing to say. Let me just talk about their customs there. ?

Dew catcher: Take a washbasin from our house and put it on the grass. There will be dew the next morning. They use this dew to wipe their eyes, which means to make them brighter. I didn't know until I checked the information. It is said that the dew on Tanabata is the tears when the cowherd and the weaver girl meet, and wiping their eyes makes people look better.

Magpie Bridge Club: In mythology, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are magpies who bridge the bridge. In reality, it is actually a small bridge built by people themselves. Decorating some magpies on it represents the meaning of magpie bridge. When affectionate men and women walk across the magpie bridge, it means that the magpie bridge meets and lovers get married.

Worship seven sisters: there is nothing wrong with men. A group of young sisters worship the seven sisters together, which should mean praying for their ingenuity. I don't know who Qimei really is, let alone worship her. After all, there is no such custom in our hometown. I don't feel ashamed if I don't understand

Stargazing: actually, it's just watching the cowherd and the weaver girl. It's hard to see them now. That's what it means. Men and women sit together and look at the stars. The environmental pollution is too serious. When I was a child, I could still see the Milky Way, but now I can't see anything.

Eat proper fruit: In fact, it's just some sweet noodles made by my girlfriend, which looks a little better. Some are fried and steamed, and they are taken out for everyone to taste after dinner at night.

I have to say that there is a festive atmosphere in the south, and the north is really almost there. Unless the Spring Festival and other big festivals are lively, few people celebrate these small festivals, and there are not so many tricks. So if you like these small festivals, you'd better come to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the south, especially the ancient towns. These small festivals are very distinctive, and you won't be disappointed.
