七夕 Qi Xi Festival literally "The Night of S7vens"
falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month on the Chinese calendar.
Tanabata 「たなばた」 in Japan
Chilseok (칠석) in Korea
Ngày mưa ngâu in Vietnam
and known as the eastern Valentine's Day in recent years.
Traditions
On Qi Xi, a festoon is placed in the yard and the single or newly married women in the household make an offering to Niulang and Zhinü consisting of fruit, flowers, tea, and facial powder (makeup). After finishing the offering, half of the facial powder is thrown on the roof and the other half divided among the young women. It is believed by doing this the women are bound in beauty with Zhinü.
Another tradition is for young girls to throw a sewing needle into a bowl full of water on the night of Qi Xi as a test of embroidery skills. If the needle floats on top of the water instead of sinking, it is believed to be an indication of the girl's being a skilled embroideress.
