【七夕】Qixi festival☆

[Valya_Vanya]

七夕(Qixi) is a traditional festival of China. This festival called "Tanabata( たなばた )" in Japan. We celebrate it at the July 7th of Lunar calendar, and Japanese people celebrate it at the July 7th of Gregorian calendar. Actually, Qixi and Tanabata are equally because this festival is origin from China and spreaded to Japan.

Today is July 7th of Lunar calendar. Some people called Qixi as "Valentine's day of China". Although Qixi is a festival for lovers now, but it also a festival for young girls. Today if girls send their wishes to starry sky, then all the dreams will come true.=)

Actually, Qixi has a heartbreaking story. In Chinese ancient legend, there is a boy named Niulang and a girl named Zhinv. They love each other deeply. But Zhinv is a fairy and Niulang is a normal people, they are not permitted to married. An immortal called Wangmuniangniang seperated Niulang and Zhinv with the power of milky way. They can only meet each other once a year by pass through the bridge of magpie. The day they meet, is July 7th of Lunar calendar. People then made this day as Qixi festival.

Our tea-lovers club have had a tea party to celebrate Qixi. On the tea party, we organized a tea auction and raised money to help the disaster area. Here are some photos of our tea party.
