The Qixi Festival, observed on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, is also called "Begging far Skills Festival". There are many folk legends as to the origin of the Qixi Festival in China, but the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl is the most widely circulated one. It is said that they meet each other on that day annually on the magpie bridge. Therefore, it is the most romantic festival among all Chinese traditional festivals and often regarded as Chinese Valentine's Day. The main folk custom for the Qixi Festival is that girls take part in a variety of activities to beg for skills. Weaver Girl was said to be pretty, intelligent and ingenious, so on the eve of the festival, girls would get together to pray to Weaver Girl for ingenious skills, which is called "skills-begging".
