On that night, women threaded needles and begged for luck, fortune and longevity. The ceremony was devout and grand. Flowers and fruits and needlework were displayed. All kinds of furniture and appliances were exquisite, small and attractive. On May 20, 2006, the Qixi Festival was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list by the State Council. Now it is also known as "Chinese Valentine's Day".

After the completion of a major piece of "Yizhou", the dance stopped, while the palace flower on the dancer's head was still shaking unsteadily. " The description of the whole poem is very detailed. From the beginning of the dance to the quick dance, the slow dance and the dance, they are all written in a clear hierarchy with different postures.
