The Seventh Eve, or Thất Tịch, is a romantic festival with a legendary tale. It is often associated with the tearful reunion of the star-crossed lovers, Ngưu Lang and Chức Nữ. This enchanting tale of forbidden love has led to the belief that the Seventh Eve is a day of weeping rains, a time when the heavens themselves weep for the separated lovers.

The Seventh Night, or Qi Xi, falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month each year and is often marked by the romantic Weaving Maid and Cowherd story. In Eastern culture, this day is akin to a Eastern Valentine's Day or a love festival. So, what is the Seventh Night, and why is it so significant?
