It falls on the 7th of July Chinese Lunar Calendar. It's also known as Maiden Weaving Festival primarily based on the legendary Love story between Niu Lang (牛郎) and Zi Nu (織女).
"夫君子之行：靜以修身，儉以養德；非淡泊無以明志，非寧靜無以致遠。" - 諸葛亮
One should seek serenity to cultivate the body, thriftiness to cultivate the morals. If you are not simple and frugal, your ambition will not sparkle. If you are not calm and cool, you will not reach far. - Zhugeliang
