The custom of Valentine's Day in China is a variety of begging activities carried out by women on the evening of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Most of the ways to be clever are for girls to make some clever little things and then put some melons and fruits on them to compete for cleverness. Different places have different ways of being clever, but each has its own interests.

In Jinan, Huimin, Gaoqing and other places in Shandong, begging activities are very simple, just showing melons and fruits for begging. At this time, if spiders spin webs on melons and fruits, it means they are begging too much. However, in Juancheng, Cao Xian, Pingyuan and other places, the custom of begging for clever rice is very interesting: seven good girls bring noodles and vegetables, wrap jiaozi together, and wrap copper coins, needles and red dates into three jiaozi. After begging, a clever activity, they get together to eat jiaozi. It is said that they were rich, good at sewing and got married early.
