From the source of Chinese Characters,"Seven"is the word "cut"(). The grapheme of “seven” is like a cross mark cut with a knife. In order to distinguish between "ten"()the ancients turned the vertical lower end of the Chinese character seven into hook.So look,Is the structural parts of "cut"() similar to"seven"()?

 

“七”是“切”的本字,字形就像用刀切出来的十字形痕迹。为了和“十”区分,就把七的竖划下端改成了曲笔。所以你看,“切”字的偏旁是不是也很像“七”?

Double Seventh Festival

Today is the Chinese valentine's day which is also called Double Seventh festival. It is said in folk legends that the Herd-boy and Weaving-girl get together every 7th day of the seventh month on Chinese lunar calendar.

In a Chinese legend who, once a happy couple, become stars separated by the Milky Way. They can meet only once in a year when magpies fly together to form a bridge over the Milky Way.It is a custom for Chinese to watch the Altair and Vegaon on this day.

This day is a traditional Chinese festival and a romantic holiday.Skills-begging is the main folk custom for the Double Seventh Festival, on which night women would get together to pray to Vega and Altair for ingenuity. So among the traditional festivals, the Double Seventh Festival is better suited toValentine's Day. Won't you agree?

Wish all the lovers a happy Chinese Valentine's Day!

七夕节

今天是中国的情人节,也叫七夕节,在每年农历的七月初七。民间传说每年的这一天是牛郎和织女聚会的日子。

牛郎和织女是中国神话传说中的人物,他们曾是幸福的一对,后来被王母娘娘分隔在银河的两端。只有在每年的七月初七,喜鹊为他们在银河上搭成鹊桥,他们才能相会。因此,七夕节有仰望牵牛星和织女星的习俗。

七夕节是我国传统节日中非常具有浪漫色彩的一个节日,也是过去姑娘们最为重视的日子。七夕节的主要民俗活动是乞巧。妇女们和姑娘们在这天夜里总要聚在一起,十分认真地祭拜牛郎星和织女星,希望可以像织女一样心灵手巧。因为七夕节有这样美丽的传说,又寄托了女孩子们美好的心愿,在传统节日里边,把七夕节当做情人节来过,倒是很合适的。

祝天下有情人七夕节快乐!
