Double Seventh FestivalThe Double Seventh Festival, on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, is a traditional festival full of romance. It often goes into August in the Gregorian calendarThis festival is in mid-summer when the weather is warm and the grass and trees reveal their luxurious greens. At night when the sky is dotted with stars, and people can see the Milky Way spanning from the north to the south. On each bank of it is a bright star, which see each other from afar. They are the Cowherd and Weaver Maid, and about them there is a beautiful love story passed down from generation to generation.Long, long ago, there was an honest and kind-hearted fellow named Niu Lang (Cowhand). His parents died when he was a child. Later he was driven out of his home by his sister-in-law. So he lived by himself herding cattle and farming. One day, a fairy from heaven Zhi Nu (Weaver Maid) fell in love with him and came down secretly to earth and married him. The cowhand farmed in the field and the Weaver Maid wove at home. They lived a happy life and gave birth to a boy and a girl. Unfortunately, the God of Heaven soon found out the fact and ordered the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens to bring the Weaver Maid back. With the help of celestial cattle, the Cowhand flew to heaven with his son and daughter. At the time when he was about to catch up with his wife, the Queen Mother took off one of her gold hairpins and made a stroke. One billowy river appeared in front of the Cowhand. The Cowhand and Weaver Maid were separated on the two banks forever and could only feel their tears. Their loyalty to love touched magpies, so tens of thousands of magpies came to build a bridge for the Cowhand and Weaver Maid to meet each other. The Queen Mother was eventually moved and allowed them to meet each year on the 7th of the 7th lunar month. Hence their meeting date has been called "Qi Xi" (Double Seventh).Scholars have shown the Double Seventh Festival originated from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD220). Historical documents from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD371-420) mention the festival, while records from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) depict the grand evening banquet of Emperor Taizong and his concubines. By the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) dynasties, special articles for the "Qi Xi" were seen being sold on markets in the capital. The bustling markets demonstrated the significance of the festival.Today some traditional customs are still observed in rural areas of China, but have been weakened or diluted in urban cities. However, the legend of the Cowhand and Weaver Maid has taken root in the hearts of the people. In recent years, in particular, urban youths have celebrated it as Valentine's Day in China. As a result, owners of flower shops, bars and stores are full of joy as they sell more commodities for love.

七夕节翻译为：Chinese Valentine's Day。
七夕节，又名乞巧节、七巧节或七姐诞，发源于中国，是华人地区以及东亚各国的传统节日，该节日来自于牛郎与织女的传说，在农历七月初七庆祝（日本在明治维新后改为阳历7月7日）。
因为此日活动的主要参与者是少女，而节日活动的内容又是以乞巧为主，所以人们称这天为“乞巧节”或“少女节”、“女儿节”。2006年5月20日，七夕被中国国务院列入第一批国家非物质文化遗产名录。
七夕节的习俗：穿针乞巧、喜蛛应巧、投针验巧、种生求子、为牛庆生、晒书晒衣、供奉“磨喝乐”、拜织女、拜魁星、吃巧果等。
七夕节以牛郎织女的民间传说为载体，表达的是已婚男女之间不离不弃、白头偕老”的情感，恪守的是双方对爱的承诺。随着时间演变，七夕现已成为中国情人节。

七夕节：DoubleSeventhFestival。1、读音：[ˈdʌbl] [ˈsevnθ][ˈfestɪvl]2、七夕节：七夕始于汉朝，是流行于中国及汉字文化圈诸国的传统文化节日。相传农历七月七日夜或七月六日夜妇女在庭院向织女星乞求智巧，故称为“乞巧”。其起源于对自然的崇拜及妇女穿针乞巧，后被赋予了牛郎织女的传说使其成为象征爱情的节日。3、七夕果品：七夕乞巧的应节食品，以巧果最为出名。巧果又名“乞巧果子”，款式极多。主要的材料是油、面、糖、蜜。《东京梦华录》中称之为“笑厌儿”、“果食花样”，图样则有捺香、方胜等。宋朝时，街市上已有七夕巧果出售，巧果的做法是：先将白糖放在锅中熔为糖浆，然后和入面粉、芝麻，拌匀后摊在案上捍薄，晾凉后用刀切为长方块，最后折为梭形巧果胚，入油炸至金黄即成。手巧的女子，还会捏塑出各种与七夕传说有关的花样。3、国外的情人节：情人节又叫圣瓦伦丁节，即每年的2月14日，是西方国家的传统节日之一。这是一个关于爱、浪漫以及花、巧克力、贺卡的节日男女在这一天互送礼物用以表达爱意或友好。公元270年——罗马圣教徒瓦伦丁被处死，此日被后人定为“情人节”。瓦伦丁节，又称情人节，是欧美和大洋洲的一些国家的民族节日。
