In the countryside of Shaoxing, at Double Seven Festival, many girls hide under the pumpkin shed in the dead of night, hoping to hear the whisper of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid, so that they can attain an enduring love.

It is also a custom to collect dew with a washbasin. It is believed that the dew on Double Seven Festival are the tears of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid. If you apply it on the eyes and hands, you'll become sharp-eyed and swift-handed.
