The Qixi Festival

The Qixi Festival, otherwise known as the Qiqiao Festival, celebrates the annual meeting of a cowherd and weaver-girl in Chinese mythology. Originating in the Han Dynasty, this traditional festival is popular in China and other countries of Chinese influence. As the stories go, on lunar July 7th or June 6th, a woman begged Vega for wisdom, and the day was henceforth named “Qiqiao”. The festival began as a worship of nature, but later the legend of the weaver-girl and cowherd turned it into a symbol of love. On May 20th of 2015, the Qixi Festival was added by the State Council to the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
