情人节是爱的庆典。在 DNA Romance, we are bringing you various Love-day festivals from around the world. From East to West, different cultures and traditions have different ways to celebrate romantic love. Here are 9 countries that celebrate Valentines day a bit differently. .

日本

日本的情人节不仅是情侣的日子。2月14日，女孩们向她们的朋友、重要的其他人和同事赠送巧克力. 吉里巧克力 ("obligation chocolate") is cheaper and is given to friends, whereas 本命巧克力 （"真情巧克力"）通常是在家自制的，是为那些重要的另一半或暗恋的人准备的.

除了 2 月 14 日的情人节之外，人们也庆祝一个月后的 3 月 14 日白色情人 节。对于在情人节收到巧克力的男士来说，白色情人节有机会用棉花糖或白巧克力等白色款待来回报他的好感。白色情人节于 1978 年在日本开始，但其他亚洲国家现在也庆祝白色情人节，包括中国大陆、台湾，越南和韩国。

英国

在情人节前夕（2 月 13 日），英格兰的女性习惯将 枕头上有 5 片月桂叶 (one in each corner and one in the centre) to welcome dreams of their future husbands .

在诺福克，杰克瓦伦丁（又名瓦伦丁老神父）会留下款待以及英国有孩子的家庭门廊上的小礼物情人节

意大利

一个 古老的意大利情人节传统 is for young, unmarried girls to wake up before dawn to spot their future husbands. The belief was that the first man a lady saw on Valentine’s day was the man she would marry within a year, or he would strongly resemble the man she would marry .

今天，意大利人通过交换礼物和浪漫晚餐以及大量巧克力榛子来庆祝情人节。

中国

虽然情人节、白色情人节等西方节日正在中国成为流行趋势，中国最古老的浪漫主义 假期叫七夕 (“seventh night festival”). QiXi is celebrated on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month each year (August 22, 2023 on Gregorian calendar this year) .

这个节日的背景来自一个古老的中国民间传说：牛郎（男）和知女（女），他们被知女的母亲强行分开到银河系的两侧。每年，这对夫妇（以织女星和牵牛星为代表）只能在七夕之夜在喜鹊的帮助下团聚，喜鹊为了帮助他们见面在银河上架起了一座桥梁。

中国夫妇和年轻的单身女性会在这个节日期间前往寺庙祈求婚姻幸福和繁荣。到了晚上，人们会观看天空，观看织女星和牛郎星（分别是织女和牛郎）在绝缘恋人的年度相聚中靠近。 光棍节 或者中国的单身汉节是在 11 ^日 11 月 (11/11) 又被称为双十一。 光棍节是一个非正式的节日，庆祝没有恋爱关系的人。 选择日期是因为数字 1 类似于一根光秃秃的棍子，这是 中国俚语，指的是未婚者不在家谱中添加 新的分支。

菲律宾

菲律宾的情人节是 菲律宾的集体婚礼. Hundreds of couples will gather at malls or other public areas around the country to get married or renew their vows in the presence of a large crowd .

巴西

巴西人跳过 2 月 14 日的庆祝活动，转而庆祝 迪亚多斯纳莫拉多斯, or “Lovers’ Day” on June 12th. There will be an exchange of chocolates, flowers, cards, but in addition to that, music festivals and performances are held across the country. Gift giving is not limited to couples either, gifts and dinner is shared amongst friends and relatives !

印度

印度的情人节和世界其他地方一样庆祝，但是印地语的爱情节 卡瓦乔特, 每年十月下旬左右庆祝。这个节日落在 印度教阴阳历月满月后的第 4 天 Kartik。

Mostly celebrated in the northern parts of India, this festival is observed by married (and sometimes non-married) women by doing a nirjal upwaas (fasting without water) for the whole day. On this occasion, fasting women choose to wear Karwa Chauth, special dresses like a traditional saari or lehenga to look their best. In some regions, women wear traditional dresses of their states. The fast begins at dawn, and fasting women do not eat or drink during the entire day. Hindu wives perform various kinds of rituals along with fasting on Karwa Chauth for their husband's long life. This fast ends in the night after praying to the moon and then the husband offers the wife to drink water from the Kurva (a small earthen pot).

The festival of Kurva Chauth signifies the love between the couples and, thanks to Bollywood, has become mainstream in recent history.

哥伦比亚

Colombians celebrate El Dia del Amor y la Amistad Day of love and Friendship every year on the third Saturday of September. The origin of this festival in the country dates back to 1969 when it was decided to stop celebrating Valentine’s Day on February 14, and move the commemoration to September.

The reason the date of the celebration was changed is that, in February, Colombians spend money on other things like scholarships. Therefore, usually, people preferred not to buy presents during that season. However, September was a month without any celebrations, so in order to leverage the commerce in the country, the Government of Colombia decided to change the date to September.

In the beginning, the celebration was just for couples, but throughout the years Colombians started to celebrate with friends and families. Now, in September it is usual to see not just couples celebrating, but also a group of friends commemorating their friendship.
