The origin of Valentine's Day is February 14 every year, which is a traditional Western Valentine's Day, also called "Valentine's Day". In the third century AD, there was a tyrant in ancient Rome named Claudius. Not far from the tyrant's palace, there is a very beautiful temple. Brother Valentine lives here. The Romans respected him very much. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor, high and low, always gathered around him, listening to Valentine's prayers in front of the blazing flames of the altar. The war in ancient Rome has been continuous, and the tyrant Claudius recruited a large number of citizens to go to the battlefield, and the people complained. Men don't want to leave home, and boys can't bear to be separated from their lovers. Claudius flew into a rage. He ordered people not to hold weddings, and even all those who were engaged should break off their engagement. Many young people bid farewell to their lovers and went to the battlefield in grief and indignation. Young girls are also depressed because of the loss of their loved ones. Valentine was very sad about the tyrant's abuse. When a couple came to the temple to ask for his help, Valentine quietly married them in front of the sacred altar. People spread the news, and many people came here and formed partners with the help of Valentane. A couple took a group photo in front of a couple wall in a park in Paris, France. This wall inlaid with blue tiles is filled with 3 1 1 sentences meaning "I love you" in different languages all over the world. The news finally reached the palace and the tyrant. Claudius flew into a rage again He ordered soldiers to rush into the temple, drag Valentine away from a married couple and put him in a dungeon. People begged for the tyrant's immunity, but in vain. Valentine finally died of torture in the dungeon. Sad friends buried him in St. Prex's church. That day was February of 14, and that year was 270 AD. There is another version. Legend has it that Valentine was one of the earliest Christians. Being a Christian at that time meant danger and death. In order to cover other martyrs, Valentine was taken to prison. There, he cured the blind eye of the warden's daughter. When the tyrant heard a miracle, he was so scared that he beheaded Valentine. According to legend, on the morning of the execution, Valentine wrote an affectionate farewell letter to the warden's daughter. The letter was signed: From your Valentine. Historians are more willing to get to the bottom of it, and their interpretation of Valentine's Day seems convincing. In fact, as early as AD 270, when Rome laid the foundation stone, there was still a wilderness around, and wolves wandered around in droves. Among the gods worshipped by the Romans, Lubbocus was in charge of the protection of shepherds and sheep. Every year in mid-February, the Romans hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the festival of faun. Compared with now, the calendar at that time was a little later, so the festival of faun was actually a celebration of the coming spring. Some people say that the couple sculpture in a wedding gift shop in Nanjing is a celebration of Funus, similar to the ancient Greek god Pan, with horns on his head and in charge of animal husbandry and agriculture. The origin of faun festival is so long that even scholars in the first century BC could not prove it. But the importance of this festival is beyond doubt. For example, according to historical records, marc anthony awarded the crown to Julius Caesar at the Faun Festival in 44 BC. On February 15 every year, monks gather near a cave on the Palantine Mountain in Rome. It is said that the founders of the ancient Roman city, Luo millers and remus, were raised by a female wolf here. In the festival celebration, there was a young aristocrat running in the street with a sheepskin whip in his hand. Young women will gather on both sides of the street, hoping that the sheepskin whip will hit them on the head. People think it will make it easier for them to have children. In Latin, sheepskin whip is called februa and whipping is called fabruatio, both of which actually mean' purity'. This is the origin of the name February. With the expansion of Roman power in Europe, the custom of faun festival was brought to France and Britain. One of people's favorite holiday activities is similar to lottery. The young women's names are put in the box, and then the young men come forward to smoke. A pair of drawn men and women become lovers for one year or more. The rise of Christianity makes people's custom of commemorating gods gradually indifferent. The priests didn't want people to give up the joy of this festival, so they changed the festival of faun to Valentine's Day and moved it to February 14. In this way, the legend about the Valentine brothers and the ancient festivals are naturally combined. This festival was the most popular in medieval England. After the names of unmarried men and women are drawn, they will exchange gifts with each other, and women will become lovers of men within this year. A woman's name will be embroidered on a man's sleeve, so it is his sacred duty to take care of and protect women. The lovers of modern Valentine's Day were recorded at the beginning of15th century. The young French Duke of Orleans was captured by the British in the Battle of Ginkul and was held in the Tower of London for many years. He wrote many love poems to his wife, about 60 of which have been preserved to this day. About 200 years later, flowers appeared as a symbol of Valentine's Day. A daughter of King Henry IV of France held a grand party on Valentine's Day. All the ladies got a bunch of flowers from the man who chose her as his lover. In this way, continuing the ancient customs of Italy, France and Britain, we can send love messages to our friends on February 14 every year. Flowers, heart-shaped candy, and keepsakes that cover the sender's name with lace and broken ears not only represent sincere love, but also represent the best commemoration of the Valentine brothers who dared to resist tyranny. Valentine's Day in China-Tanabata [Author: Anonymous reposted from: original hits on this site: 1 common sense input: at your service] In China, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is commonly known as Tanabata, and some people call it "Begging for Skills Festival" or "Daughter's Day", which is the most romantic festival among traditional festivals in China and the most important festival for girls in the past. On a clear summer and autumn night, the sky is full of stars, and a huge white galaxy runs across the north and south. On the east and west banks of the river, there is a shining star across the river, that is, Altair and Vega. It is a folk custom to sit and watch morning glory and weaver girl on Tanabata. According to legend, this night every year is the time when the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd meet at the Magpie Bridge. The Weaver Girl is a beautiful, clever and clever fairy. On this night, ordinary women prayed to her for wisdom and skillful skills, and they also prayed to her for a happy marriage. Therefore, the seventh day of July is also called Begging Festival. It is said that on Tanabata night, you can look up and see the Milky Way where the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet, and you can also eavesdrop on the love story when they meet in the sky under the melon and fruit shelf. On this romantic night, facing the bright moon in the sky, the girls put the fruits and vegetables of the season in the sky, begging the goddess in the sky to give them intelligent hearts and dexterous hands, so that they can master their needlework skills, and even beg for the combination of love and marriage. In the past, marriage was a lifelong event for women to decide whether they were happy or not. Therefore, on this quiet night, countless sentient men and women in the world will pray for a happy marriage under the stars. The origin of Qixi began in the Han Dynasty. Ge Hong's Miscellaneous Notes on Xijing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty recorded that "women in the Han Dynasty often put seven-hole needles in the building on July 7, and everyone gave them", which is the earliest record of begging for skill in ancient literature we have seen. In later Tang and Song poems, women's begging for cleverness was repeatedly mentioned. In the Tang Dynasty, Wang Jian wrote a poem "The stars are bright and the pearls are bright, and Gong E is busy begging for cleverness". According to "The Legacy of Kaiyuan Tianbao", every time Emperor Taizong and his concubines held a banquet in the Qing Palace on Tanabata, the ladies-in-waiting begged with their own ingenuity. This custom is also enduring among the people and passed down from generation to generation. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Qiaqiao was quite grand, and there was also a market in Beijing that monopolized Qiaqiao goods, which was called Qiaqiao City by the world. Song He's series "Talking about Drunken Weng" said: "Tanabata, the property is a gimmick. From July 1 ST, horses and chariots were swallowed, and three days before Chinese Valentine's Day, horses and chariots were not allowed to pass, and they stopped driving again and again until the night. " Here, we can infer the lively scene of the Jocci Festival from the grand occasion of buying Qiao Qi goods from Qiao Qi. People have been putting up flattering articles since the first day of July, and people are coming and going in the flattering market. By the time of Tanabata, the market of Qiqiao was already crowded with people, as if it were the biggest festival-Spring Festival, which showed that Qiqiao Festival was one of the favorite festivals of the ancients. Tanabata, the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, has always been associated with the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. This is a beautiful love story that has been passed down through the ages and has become one of the four folk love legends in China. Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a clever and honest young man in Niujiazhuang, west of Nanyang. His parents died early, so he had to live with his brother and sister-in-law. His sister-in-law, Ma Shi, is vicious, often abusing him and forcing him to do a lot of work. One autumn, his sister-in-law forced him to herd cattle and gave him nine cows, but he was told to wait until he had ten cows, so the cowherd had no choice but to drive them out of the village. The cowherd drove the cow to the mountains alone. On the mountain with deep grass and dense forest, he sat under the tree and was sad. He doesn't know when he can drive ten cows home. At this time, an old man with white hair and beard appeared in front of him and asked him why he was sad. When he learned what had happened to him, he smiled and said to him, "Don't be sad. There is a sick old cow in Funiu Mountain. You go and feed it well When the old cow is ready, just wait. " The cowherd walked a long way over the mountains and finally found the sick old cow. Seeing that the old cow was very ill, he went to bundle the grass for the old cow. After feeding for three days in a row, the old cow looked up and told him that he was a great fairy in the sky, but he was sent to heaven because he broke his leg and could not move. His injury needs to be washed with toilet water for a month. Cowherd carefully took care of old Niu Yi for a month, picking flowers for the old cow during the day and sleeping beside the old man at night. After the old cow recovered, the cowherd happily drove ten cows home. After returning home, my sister-in-law is still not good to him. She hurt him several times and was saved by the old cow. Finally, my sister-in-law got angry and drove the cowherd out of the house. The cowherd only wanted the old cow to accompany him. One day, the weaver girl in the sky played games with the fairies and took a bath in the river. With the help of the old cow, the cowherd got to know the Weaver Girl, and they hit it off. Later, the Weaver Girl sneaked into the world and became the wife of the Cowherd. The weaver girl also distributed wild silkworms brought from the sky to everyone, teaching them to raise silkworms, spin silk and weave bright silks and satins. After the marriage of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, a man plowed and a woman weaved, giving birth to two children, a man and a woman, and the family lived happily. But the good times didn't last long, and it was soon known to the Emperor of Heaven that the heavenly queen herself came down to earth and forcibly brought the Weaver Girl back to heaven, and the loving couple separated from each other. There is no way for Cowherd to go to heaven, or the old cow told him that he could wear shoes with his own skin after he died. Cowherd did as the old cow said, put on shoes made of cowhide and took his children with him. On the verge of catching up, I'm afraid the queen mother pulled out the golden hairpin on her head, and a choppy Tianhe appeared. Cowherd and Weaver Girl are separated on both sides, and they can only cry each other. Their loyal love touched the magpies, and thousands of magpies flew to build a magpie bridge, where the cowherd and the weaver girl met. The Queen Mother has no choice but to allow them to meet on July 7th every year. Later, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, it is said that when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet at the Magpie Bridge, the girls will come to the flowers and the moon, look up at the stars and look for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on both sides of the Milky Way, hoping to see their annual meeting, and pray to God that they will be as ingenious as the Weaver Girl and that they will have a happy marriage, thus forming China's Valentine's Day. History of Valentine's Day [Author: anonymously reposted from: original hits: 1 common sense input: at your service] Valentine's Day is a holiday for friends, family and lovers. Just as people in China now spend Christmas with almost fanatical enthusiasm, Valentine's Day has quietly penetrated into the minds of countless young people and become another important festival besides the traditional festivals in China. Most people may not know the origin and significance of Valentine's Day. The following is just one of many legends about Valentine's Day. In ancient Rome, February 14 was a festival to pay tribute to Jonah. Jonah was the queen of the Roman gods, and the Romans regarded her as the goddess of women and marriage. The following February 15 is called Lupsala Festival to show respect for other gods under the rule of Jonah. In ancient Rome, the lives of young people and girls were strictly separated. However, on Lupsala Festival, boys can choose the name of a girl they love and carve it on a vase. In this way, during the festival, young people can dance with the girl of their choice to celebrate the festival. If the selected girls are interested in boys, they can always pair up, and eventually they will fall in love in church and get married together. Therefore, later generations designated February 14 as Valentine's Day. In the west, Valentine's Day is not only the best time to express love, but also the best time to propose to the one you love. At this point, doesn't Valentine's Day reflect the original intention of the ancient Romans to design this festival? White day [Author: Anonymous reposted from: original hits on this site: 1 common sense input: at your service] has heard of Valentine's Day and Qixi Valentine's Day in the West. Do you know what a "white day" is? In fact, this is a folklore about Japan. February 14 was originally the day when girls courted boys. Girls give lovers gifts to boys, but in the end it is no longer each other's business. It doesn't matter who gives gifts on Valentine's Day now. In Japan, if one party receives a lover's gift from the opposite sex on February 14 to express love and has the same affection or affection for the other party, then the lover's gift will be returned to the other party on March 14, that is to say, this year, they have been soul mates. So they named March 14 as "white day". If you also received a gift from your expected lover, why not take the opportunity of "white day" to let the other person feel your love?
