The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is Qixi, also known as “Chinese Valentine’s Day.” A long time ago, Niulang and Zhinü loved each other very much, but they could only meet once a year. The day they could meet was Qixi. On Qixi, many couples have dinner together, watch movies, and give each other flowers and gifts. For many people, Qixi is a very romantic holiday.
