Lā Valentine's Pākē

Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka Qixi Festival ma ka Han Dynasty. Wahi a nā palapala mōʻaukala, ma kahi o ʻekolu a ʻehā paha mau makahiki i hala aku nei, me ka ʻike o ka poʻe i ka astronomy a me ka puka ʻana o ka ʻenehana textile, aia nā moʻolelo e pili ana iā Altair a me Vega. ʻO ka Qixi Festival no ka hoʻomana kahiko ʻana o ka poʻe kahiko. ʻO "Qi" ka homophonic me "Qi", a ʻo ka mahina a me ka lā ʻo "Qi", kahi e hāʻawi ai i ka poʻe i ke ʻano o ka manawa. Ua kapa ka poʻe Kina kahiko i ka lā, ka mahina, a me nā hōkū ʻelima o ka wai, ke ahi, ka lāʻau, ke gula, a me ka honua ʻo "Qi Yao". Hōʻike ʻia ka helu ʻehiku ma ke kaʻina o ka manawa i ka poʻe, a hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ʻo "Qi Qi" i ka hopena i ka helu ʻana i ka manawa. Ma Beijing kahiko, i ka wā e hana ai i kahi hana Taoist no ka mea i make, manaʻo pinepine ʻia ʻo ia ma hope o "Qi Qi". Hoʻomau ʻia ka helu ʻana o ka "wiki" o kēia manawa me "Qi Yao" ma ka ʻōlelo Kepani. ʻO "Qi" he homophonic me "Ji", a ʻo "Qi Qi" ʻo ia hoʻi ke ʻano o Ji pālua, ʻo ia ka lā maikaʻi. Ma Taiwan, ua kapa ʻia ʻo Iulai i ka mahina "hauʻoli a maikaʻi". No ka mea, ʻo ke ʻano o ka huaʻōlelo "Xi" ma ka palapala cursive e like me ka "Qi Qi" mau loa, ʻo kanahikukūmāhiku mau makahiki i kapa ʻia ʻo "Xi Shou".
ʻO ka hiku o ka lā o ka ʻehiku o ka mahina o ka kalena lunar, i kapa ʻia ʻo ka Chinese Valentine's Day, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Qiqiao Festival" a i ʻole "Daughter's Day". ʻO ia ka mea aloha loa o nā ʻahaʻaina kuʻuna o Kina.
