【雲上嶺南】Qiqiao Culture in Guangzhou: the combination of tradition and modernity

广州乞巧文化：传统与现代的结合

Today is the Chinese traditional festival "Qiqiao Festival” (Qixi Festival), and it is also the most lively moment in Zhu Village, Tianhe District, Guangzhou. The content and form of the Qiqiao Festival have been changing: in ancient times, young girls prayed to Zhinv for wisdom, dexterity and happiness by showing their ingenuity. In the present day, with lanterns hanging high and drums playing in chorus, young girls thread needles with their shadows. Qiqiao culture in Guangzhou combines traditional and modernity. Take a look at the festival scene! #Qixifestival #Chinesevalentinesday

今天是中国传统节日“乞巧节”，也是广州天河珠村最热闹的时刻。如今的乞巧节从内容到形式都在变：从旧时少女们通过展示心灵手巧，向织女祈求智慧、灵巧和幸福，到现在的灯笼高悬、鼓乐齐奏，年轻姑娘对影穿针……广州乞巧文化将传统与现代结合，让我们一起看看节日现场吧！
