The origin of the Double Seventh Festival

In the pre-Qin period, the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden was circulated in the folklore, and because of the tragic color of the story of the two men, the Tanabata Festival was regarded as a bad time and a bad day in this period. On the specific origin of the Tanabata Festival, different scholars have different opinions. Some scholars believe that before the Han Dynasty, Tanabata had already appeared, but not necessarily in the seventh day of the seventh month, may be in the first day of the seventh month. However, there is a basic consensus among scholars that the Tanabata Festival was not fully formed and officially became a festival until the Han Dynasty [44]. Legend has it that the Tanabata Festival was originally celebrated in honor of the Weaving Maiden, known as the "Seven Sisters", who was regarded as the goddess of weaving by the public and worshipped by the girls, so that the women of the mortal world begged her for wisdom and skills on the seventh night of the seventh month. East Jin Ge Hong's "Xijing Miscellany" "Han color women often to the seventh day of the seventh month to wear seven-hole needle in the Kai Lapel Building, people are practicing" is the earliest record of ancient literature on begging.
