15. 七夕節(jié)

The Double Seventh Festival has been called Chinese Valentine's Day since the late 1990s. The festival can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. It was then a special day not only for lovers, but also for girls. Girls would hold a ceremony to beg Zhinv for wisdom, skills and a satisfying marriage. So it is also called“the Begging for Skills Festival”. Today some traditional customs have been weakened. Now the festival is celebrated as a romantic valentine's day, particularly among young people.

自上世紀(jì)90年代后期起，七夕節(jié)（the Double Seventh Festival）開始被稱為“中國的情人節(jié)”。這個節(jié)日可以追溯到漢朝，當(dāng)時對戀人、女孩都是個特殊的日子。這天，女孩會舉行儀式，向織女（Zhinv）乞求智慧、技藝和美滿婚姻，所以七夕節(jié)還被稱為“乞巧節(jié)（the Begging for Skills Festival）”。如今，一些傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗已經(jīng)弱化。人們現(xiàn)在把七夕節(jié)當(dāng)作浪漫的情人節(jié)來慶祝，尤其是在年輕人中間。
