七月七,過七夕 / Chinese Valentine's Day




今天是農曆七月初七
俗稱七夕情人節的日子
老林居也在此獻上誠摯的祝福
不管是戀愛中還是單身的朋友都能開開心心!!!

Today is "Chi-Shi",
the 7th day of the 7th month according to lunar calendar,
is so-called Chinese Valentine's Day.
No matter you're in love or single,
Rolling Inn sends our best wishes to all of you,
hope that everybody can be happy!!



七夕又稱為七巧節或乞巧節
起源於中國民間傳說
相傳在這一天
於銀河的兩端遙遙相望的牛郎與織女
能夠在鵲橋上相會
所以從前的婦女常在這天祈求織女
賜予好姻緣
所以從前的七夕更像是女兒節

Chi-shi is also called begging festival,
it originates from a traditional tale in ancient China.
It is said that,
the cowherd and the weaving maid,
who were separated on different sides of the milky way,
can meet up on a magpie bridge.
Therefore, women used to pray for good marriage.
So Chi-Shi was more like a Girls' Day.


七夕是華人及整個東亞地區的傳統節日
除了西洋情人節
一年能多慶祝一次情人節
是不是很不錯呢: )
老林居祝大家七夕情人節快樂!!!

Chi-Shi is a traditional festival for all Chinese and East Asia.
Besides the western Valentine's Day,
isn't it great to have one more Valentine's Day to celebrate:)
Rolling Inn wish you a Happy “Chi-Shi” Valentine's Day!!!
