Chinese Valentine’s Day, known as the Qixi Festival, is often described as China’s most romantic holiday.
But the original story behind it is anything but sweet.
This video tells the full story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl (Niulang and Zhinü), a couple from two different worlds. One human. One celestial. Their marriage was never approved, never celebrated, and never meant to last.
From ancient star worship to agricultural life, from forced separation by Heaven to a reunion allowed only once a year, this is a story shaped by rules, labor, and control rather than romance.
In Heaven, their love is not a tragedy. It’s a violation of duty.
By stepping away from modern Valentine’s Day clichés, this video explores what the Qixi Festival really represents:
how ancient Chinese society understood love, marriage, work, gender roles, and the boundary between humans and gods.
This is not a fairy tale.
This is Chinese Valentine’s Day, explained.
