Qixi Festival, also known as the Festival of Skills, is a time when local women would worship the moon, eat festive fruit, and hold sewing competitions, all in an effort to gain skills akin to those of the Weaver Girl Star.

Each region has its own customs and traditions.

As for the festivities inside the Imperial Palace, they were carried out quite grandly.

A large hall was made out of luxurious silk, and it was decorated with fresh fruit and delicacies in honor of the Weaver Girl Star and the Cowherd Star. Palace musicians played in the distance while women competed by threading needles with multi-colored strings.

Those who could thread the fastest and best would be deemed the most skillful.

There were constant giggles, chattering, drinking, and general merriment.

It would typically last until midnight.
