七夕“乞巧”的風俗由來已久，年輕女孩子們在這一天乞求的，不僅僅是巧奪天工的好手藝，還會乞求一段美好姻緣。似乎是tvb劇中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)七夕之夜女子祈求姻緣的橋段~不知道今年七夕，有多少人會在星空之下默默祈禱呢？

七夕“乞巧”的風俗：

on that night, unmarried girls prayed to the weaving maid star for the special gift. when the star vega was high up in the sky, girls performed a small test by placing a needle on the water's surface: if the needle did not sink, the girl was considered to be ready to find a husband. once a year, on this day, girls could wish for anything their hearts desired.
七夕之夜，未婚女子通常會向織女星乞巧，也會乞求姻緣。她們將一根針放在水面上，倘若針不下沉的話，她們就能得償所愿。據(jù)說這一晚女孩子們能祈求任何心愿成真。
