Dear Rita, it's an interesting topic and yes, I know this festival.
No offence! but actually, I don't like it's English name - Why we call it "Chinese Valentine's Day"? - It's a skin-deep name.
I prefer to call it "Qixi Festival" or the name according to its real meaning. I think this day is not only for lover, it has deeper meanings. Right?
Maybe you will say, if we talk "Qixi", many foreign friends cannot understand it. That's okay, I think. It likes "Mid-autumn festival". Becasue Chinese traditional culture is so deep. Even if as a Chinese, I cannot understand it well.
And I also think everyone who likes Chinese culture, he/she will find out the stories or tranditon about the festival!
BTW, the fairy tale of this festival is one of my favorites!
Enjoy mylotting!

July 7th annual Lunar New Year is China's Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is more than overseas is designed to point to "love." Because foreign Valentine's Day Originalism is mutual love between people, or family ties, or friendship, or love is not limited to Nannvzhiqing. But China's Tanabata Valentine's Day, it is described in the story of a pair of lovers.
This is a very beautiful story.
