In only a few Chinese folk love stories can be found a description of the physical appearances of the hero and heroine.

　　In the Butterfly Lovers, the heroine, dressed as a boy to attend school, falls in love with a classmate. After they have lived together as classmates for years, the hero did not have the slightest clue that his best friend is actually a girl!

　　Chinese ceremonies

　　The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the only Chinese festival devoted to love in the Lunar calendar.

　　Unlike St. Valentines Day in Western countries there is not so much emphasis on giving chocolates, flowers and kisses. Instead, Chinese girls prepare fruits, melons and incense as offerings to Zhi Nu, the weaving maiden, praying to acquire high skills in needlecraft, as well as hoping to find satisfactory husbands.

　　In the evening, people sit outdoors to observe the stars. Chinese grannies would say that, if you stand under a grapevine, you can probably overhear what Zhi Nu and Niu Lang are talking about.
