    (1) Qixi Festival

    Qixi Festival is the day when magpies and bridges meet.  The night looked festive, but it was the result of a year of bleak waiting.

    The myth of love is only suitable to be interpreted in literary works. Once it becomes daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar tea, and once it becomes the real life of eating, drinking, and sleeping, all romance will be eclipsed.  Life is lived day by day. People who think about Valentine¡¯s Day, if you celebrate Valentine¡¯s Day every day, guess according to people¡¯s usual behavior, firstly, he will get tired of it; secondly, getting used to it will eat away all the excitement and joy.  enthusiasm.

    "July 7th", in my impression, there are two points that have remained in the memory of the village.  The first point is that there was a process for rural people in the past, from blind date to marriage, unlike the fast-food-style lightning marriage now.  In the past, for those who were planning to get married, "June 6th" and "July 7th" in the lunar calendar were both auspicious days, and there would be some actions related to marriage preparation.  For example, if the weather is good on "June 6th", they will "sun the dowry" [the hometown dialect is called "sun with spinning", I wrote it according to the pronunciation, but I have never seen those three words.  ], it is estimated that firstly, the dowry is afraid that the dowry will become moldy and smelly in the cabinet after the humidity in March and April; secondly, it is also "showing" to the villagers the ingenuity of their own girls-many of the dowries at that time were made by the girls themselves.  The second point is what my grandmother said, "July 7th" is the "Qiqiao Festival", a festival for girls. It is said that there are certain rituals to attract fairies from the sky.  Because only hazy memory, details are forgotten.

    The concept of Qixi Magpie Bridge Club comes from Chinese textbooks.  The one about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is still deep in my memory.  The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is selected into Chinese textbooks, and the publicity effect of this story can be imagined.  Many concepts of Qixi Festival originated from this.

    (2) Cowherd

    Cowherd was originally an ordinary character in fairy tales.  I don't know when, the meaning of the word "cowherd" changed and became synonymous with "male public relations".  Just like the original "Miss" was a respectful title for unmarried girls from rich families, but now it has become a special code name for "women who have lost their feet".

    Niulang and Wu Dalang seem to have nothing to do with each other.  From the literal point of view, there may still be some similarities, that is - they are both "Lang".  From the perspective of literature, Niulang and Wu Dalang actually have similarities and similarities.  Of course, the similarity and similarity I am talking about here are neither literal nor superficial.  Niulang and Wu Dalang are similar in that Niulang has a Weaver Girl wife and Wu Dalang has a younger brother Wu Song.  The emergence of this situation is actually a kind of use by the creators of the "compensation psychology" of the people.  To put it bluntly, this is called psychological satisfaction; to put it bluntly, it is also a disguised form of obscenity.  Wu Dalang is a weak citizen who will be trampled and bullied by various officials, rogues, or forces in collusion between officials and rogues.  With such a social status, Wu Dalang has no chance or outlet to release his resentment at all. Therefore, the author gave him a brave brother who can beat and kill those wicked and bad people.  Through Wu Song, for people like Wu Dalang, create an emotional outlet, so that they will not be suppressed to death.  Niulang is a poor boy who herds cattle. To be honest, his personal food and clothing may be a huge problem, let alone marrying a wife.  Furthermore, in the context of the concept of being well-matched, the usual fate of a cowherd is probably to marry a village girl and spend his whole life.  The cowherd in the story got a fairy who came down to earth.  For many poor boys, a cowherd baby can marry a fairy, so it is understandable that I have a little imagination about the ladies in the high-rise embroidered households.  The appearance of the cowherd has given countless poor boys a huge room for fantasy in their future marriage and love.

    (3) Valentine's Day

    I don't know when the Chinese have the ability to make everything completely entertaining.  From a historical point of view, the soul under the shackles of autocracy may have two endings, either to die in silence, or to die in entertainment.  Chinese people's comprehensive entertainment today may be due to the fact that the so-called "legacy of two thousand years of feudal rule" has not been clarified, guesses are guesses, what is the truth, I don't want to get into it.

    One of the manifestations of the above-mentioned ability is that, except for Qingming Festival, Chinese people can celebrate all imported "foreign festivals" and native "soil festivals" as "Valentine's Day".

    Strictly speaking, "Valentine's Day" in the West is Christians' commemoration of "justice" and "love", and admiration and respect for someone who sacrificed his life for "justice" and "love".  There is religion, there is struggle, there is love, there is death.  When "Valentine's Day" became popular among people other than Christians, this festival has already taken off the cloak of religion, completely secularized, without blood and blood, and full of romance.

    Among the many festivals in China, there is no blatantly naming a festival with the word "lover".  this??It is determined by a series of factors such as Chinese people's implicitness, male and female defense, and traditional ethics.

    After the word "lover" was flooded, the connotation of "Valentine's Day" also became blurred.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
