13 Cheesy Pick-Up Lines to Get You a Date for the Qixi Festival

Falling on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Double Seventh Festival in China (also known as Qixi Festival) is the Chinese version of Valentine's Day in western countries. As it is a day of great importance to girls all over the country, the event is also called Young Girls' Festival and has been endowed with the meaning of great romance in accordance with the beautiful legend of Niu Lang and Zhi Nu.

Legend of Niu Lang and Zhi Nu

The legend of Niu Lang and Zhi Nu is one of the four Chinese folk legends about love and is celebrated during the Double Seventh Festival.

It is said that Niu Lang was a cowboy who had a kind heart even though he was without living parents. Living with his brother and brother-in-law, he was often maltreated. One day, after having been driven out of his home, an old man (who turned out to be a supernatural being) guided him to the sick cattle from heaven. With great care from Niu Lang, the cattle recovered. 

In order to show gratitude to Niu Lang, the cow helped him get acquainted with Zhi Nu - a fairy from heaven. They fell for one another and eventually married to live a happy life. Niu Lang planted in the field while Zhi Nu did weaving at home. 

The couple was also magically given a boy and a girl. However, good times didn't last long because Zhi Nu's deeds were known by the king of heaven who sent her back to the kingdom up in the sky. 

With the cow's help, Niu Lang flew to heaven along with his two children as they chased their mother, and just before he could reach Zhi Nu, the queen of heaven created a huge river to separate them. Tears shed by both of them flowed continuously so that even the queen was moved. As a result, she allowed them to meet only on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year.
