Traditionally in Qixi Festival, girls will throw a sewing needle into a bowl full of water on the night of Qixi as a test of embroidery skills. If the needle floated on top of the water instead of sinking, it proved the girl was a skilled embroider. Single women also prayed for a good husband. And the newly married women prayed for pregnancy. [Photo by Li Junsheng/Asianewsphoto] |
