Is there China Valentine's Day in Korea?

Valentine's Day in China originated in China, and some Asian countries influenced by China culture, such as Japan, Korean Peninsula and Viet Nam, also have the tradition of celebrating Qixi. So South Korea also has China Valentine's Day. Tanabata was originally a custom in China, and later spread to the Korean peninsula. King Miyako (the 3rd1king of North Korea) and the Queen of Mongolia paid homage to Penny (Cowherd) and Vega together, and handed over their salaries to officials on the same day.

The most representative custom of South Korea's Tanabata is to pray for the Weaver Girl, hoping that she will also have the dexterous hands like the Weaver Girl and weave better. In the morning, women put melons, cucumbers and other fruits on the table to kowtow and pray. Women's knitting skills are getting better and better.

Food for Valentine's Day in China, Korea.

South Korea's Tanabata diet is also particular. Traditional foods include noodles, wheat pancakes and steamed cakes. The reason why there are noodles and pancakes is because Koreans believe that if the cold wind blows after Tanabata, the food made of wheat will be out of season, and eating this kind of food is a taboo, so using noodles and pancakes made of wheat on this day means cherishing the last chance to taste wheat food in a year. Representative foods during Tanabata include steamed slices, peach blossoms and pancakes.

On Valentine's Day in China, Korean families will put wheat pancakes and fruits harvested for the first time this year, and women will put Jinghua water on the sauce jar. Nowadays, young Koreans pay little attention to the traditional Valentine's Day in China. They only regard this day as an opportunity for dating, eating and giving gifts to each other.
