Mastering Chinese Poetry Ep.22: The #Qixi Festival-tune: Riverside Daffodils

Qixi, also known as Chinese Valentine's Day, falls on August 14 this year. It takes place on the 7th day of the 7th month of the Chinese lunar calendar, which is why we call it the Double Seventh. CGTN shares a classic piece of #SongCipoetry written by Northern Song poet Yan Jidao which speaks to our deepest romantic yearnings, in Episode 22 of Mastering Chinese Poetry: Tune-Riverside Daffodils.
