"The distant Altair, the bright river, the Han girl." Every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, it is the Qixi Festival, a traditional Chinese festival. In the "Qixi Festival", a festival full of romance, the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl looking at each other across the Milky Way and seeing each other again on the Magpie Bridge is full of love and conveys warmth. It becomes more gentle and moving in the continuous inheritance of Guolai, making people yearn for it. Because of this, the Chinese Valentine's Day has been endowed with a symbol of love and has become a beautiful festival for single men and women to express their love for each other, for couples to express their love to each other, and to grow old together.
Everyone yearns for beautiful feelings, and love is the distinctive theme of Chinese Valentine's Day. In the five thousand years of history and culture of the Chinese nation, there are so many love stories. From the beautiful myth of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai fly together as butterflies", to the classic masterpiece of "Xu Xian and White Snake interpret the legend", to the unparalleled love of "Dong Yong and Xiao Qi finally get married"; from the lingering longing of "a kind of lovesickness, two leisurely worries", to the unforgettable feeling of "except Wushan, it is not a cloud", to the sweet tenderness of "the two hearts are filled with fragrance"… In the glittering cultural corridor, every story about a loving couple, every pair of familiar names, and every household legend embodies people’s expectations and yearnings for faithful love and a happy and fulfilling life. This not only embodies the value concept of “harmony and perfection” of the Chinese people, but also the charm of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation.
With the development of the times, the cultural connotation of Chinese Valentine's Day continues to be enriched and enriched. The plain and sincere, warm and long-lasting cultural beauty has traveled through the long river of history and shines brighter in the new era. Looking at the present, in the stage of acquaintance and love, the thick stacked tickets record the courtship process, and the affectionate words are shy and touching; after entering the marriage hall, the pots and pans play the harmonious music of happy days, and the love full of "fireworks in the world" is sublimated into "heart and hand" in the lively life. The "Qixi Festival", which reflects the Chinese nation's views on marriage, love and family, continues to deepen in shouldering family responsibilities, becoming an emotional bond that holds hands and walks together through thick and thin. It also makes the cultural connotations of "harmony" and "consummation" become a beautiful symbol of inheriting the past and leading to the future. Therefore, in real life, conveying the modern family style of loving each other and being happy is not only a bright spot in the magnificent picture of Chinese culture, but also a vivid footnote that highlights the meaning of Chinese Valentine's Day.
"Chinese Valentine's Day" is a symbol of "little love" and the continuation of "big love". "Small love" is the personal love of "when golden wind and jade dew meet, they will conquer countless people in the world", "the falling flower is independent, and the swift swallows fly together", while "big love" is the universal love of "beheading does not matter, as long as the principle is true" and "why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply". When "little love" and "big love" meet unexpectedly, the love of "Chinese Valentine's Day" becomes even more precious.
On the Chinese Valentine's Day, on the front line of border defense, the people's soldiers watered the hope of life with boundless "great love" and wrote a hymn of life that moved the world; on the front line of the war against the epidemic, the "Angel Dabai" faced the scorching sun, braved the scorching heat, and worked hard day and night on the job, interpreting the feelings and responsibilities of "great love" with actions, building a solid Great Wall to protect people's lives and health; on the battlefield, youth "volunteer red" Go down to the grassroots level, observe people's sentiments, resolve people's worries, warm people's hearts, constantly exchange "hardship index" for the people's "happiness index", and truly let "great love" warm people's hearts in doing practical things… Every firm retrograde, every troubleshooting and relief, every tenacious resistance is a silent declaration of "clear love", and it is also the unchanging truth that the Chinese nation has gone through hardships and endures, has gone through vicissitudes and is in its prime.
It's you who will be waiting for you in "Qi", and I will be looking forward to you in "Xi". Among the stars, "Chinese Valentine's Day" is the reunion of the golden wind and jade dew; under the grapevines, "Chinese Valentine's Day" is the gentle whispers of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Whether it is love or family affection, whether it is "little love" or "big love", always keep the original heart, "start from the heart", encounter romance, encounter beauty, manage with heart, and let personal emotions precipitate in the baptism of time into the "happiness gene" of the family, country and the world. This is the best interpretation of the connotation of "Qixi Festival".
