Qixi | "Seven" awaits you, accompanying from morning to "evening"

　　Today is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Qixi Festival, a traditional Chinese folk festival. Qixi is also known as the Qiqiao Festival, Seven Sisters Festival, Daughter's Festival, Begging for Skills Festival, Seven Ladies Gathering, Qixi Sacrifice, Ox Man and Ox Woman Day, and Skillful Evening, among others.

　　Worshiping the Seventh Sister, praying for blessings and wishes, begging for skills, watching the Cowherd and Weaver Girl stars, praying for marriage, storing Qixi water, etc., are traditional customs of the Qixi Festival.

　　According to records, the Qixi Festival evolved from star worship and is traditionally the birthday of the Seventh Sister. Because the worship of the 'Seventh Sister' takes place on the evening of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, it is called 'Qixi'.

　　The custom of women begging for skills on Qixi originated in the Han Dynasty and was most popular during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, when markets for buying and selling skill-begging items appeared.

　　The most widely spread Qixi story nowadays is the Cowherd and Weaver Girl meeting on the Magpie Bridge. As the most romantic traditional festival in China, Qixi is called "Chinese Valentine's Day" by modern people.

　　On the Qixi Festival, United Intelligence Certification Co., Ltd. wishes everyone a happy holiday, to stay with customers for a long time, to accompany business partners for a long time, and to be with colleagues often. "Seven" awaits you, accompanying you from morning to "evening."
