Chinese Valentine’s Day

The seventh day of the seventh lunar month on the Chinese calendar is the traditional Chinese festival, QIXI, also known as Chinese Valentine’s Day or Magpie Festival.

The festival stems from a romantic tragedy about the 7th daughter of Emperor of Heaven and an orphaned cowherd. These 2 lovers were separated by the Emperor. The 7th daughter was forced to move to the star Vega and the cowherd moved to the star Altair. They are allowed to meet only once a year through a bridge across the Milky Way formed by magpies on the day of 7th day of 7th lunar month.

Years ago, I went to the Matchmaker temple to ask my luck of love. That year, I  met my bf and fell in love with him at first sight .  Three years passed, we are still together.   = ) God bless me!
