Is Valentine's Day in China on July 7th an auspicious day or a deathday? Thank god, help me.

Reporter reports Dong Wen/Photographed by this newspaper: Today is the second Tanabata this year. It is reported that this is the first time in 36 years that there are two Chinese Valentine's Day in a year. Yesterday at noon, the reporter randomly asked 10 a couple the same question-what festival is Qixi? The reporter got 10 the same answer: Qixi is Valentine's Day in China. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter threw this question to Cao Baoming, chairman of the Provincial Folk Writers Association. Cao Baoming's answer is simple-Tanabata is not Valentine's Day in China. Is Tanabata Valentine's Day in China? Cao Baoming said: "It is wrong to call Tanabata Valentine's Day in China." According to Cao Baoming, in the early 1990s, Western Valentine's Day was introduced to China and was immediately sought after by many young people. Tanabata was also agreed as "Valentine's Day in China", but it is not accurate to call Tanabata Valentine's Day in China. According to Cao Baoming, the way westerners spend Valentine's Day doesn't work in China because of the different cognition between East and West. On the other hand, the legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl is respectable, because although they only get together once a year, they never leave each other. Tanabata advocates faithful love. Therefore, it is totally contrary to call Tanabata China Valentine's Day and what Tanabata contains. As for why people in China call Tanabata Valentine's Day, Cao Baoming thinks that people don't know the meaning of Valentine's Day and Tanabata in the West. Cowherd and Weaver Girl are not only husband and wife in legend, but also have children. It is obviously inappropriate to call them lovers. What kind of festival is Qixi? According to Cao Baoming, the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl was recorded as early as the Classic of Mountains and Seas. In the history of China, Tanabata has always been regarded as "Begging Festival", which is the real cultural connotation of Tanabata. More precisely, this day is "men begging for literature, women begging for skills." At this time, men usually pray for fame in the coming year by pairing, writing and practicing calligraphy. On this day, girls thread needles on the moon and pray for skilled skills in order to find a good husband in the future. As for what festival Tanabata should be called, Cao Baoming thinks it should be called "Wedding Festival", or the love story is more appropriate. If Qixi is called China Valentine's Day, it is obviously inappropriate to interpret China culture with western culture. Source: City Evening News, reference on August 30, 2006:
