valentines day flowers men - Chinese Valentine’s Day

The most romantic day of the year is celebrated as valentines day flowers men Chinese Valentine’s Day History
The tale of the Chinese Valentine's Day takes back to the ancient times about the love story of an orphaned cowherd and the seventh daughter of Emperor of heaven. Stories indicate that orphaned poor boy named Niu Lang lived with his brother and sister-in-law, and earned his living through grazing an old ox on the field. The ox was an immortal that had been punished for his mistakes and sent to earth for repentance. The ox asked the cowherd to visit the river bank, if he wished to get married and change his life entirely. As directed, Niu Lang went to the stream and to his surprise, found seven beautiful daughters of the Emperor who had descended from heaven for a bath.

The beauty of the youngest daughter Zhi Nu enthralled the cowherd, who then stole her fairy clothes without which she could not return back to heaven. He agreed to return back the clothes only if she accepted to marry him. Left with no option, she agreed and the two got married. Eventually, the couple had two children. With his period of penitence coming to an end, the ox asked the cowherd to keep his hide, lest he would need it in times of troubles. On the other hand, the Emperor now started missing his daughter and hence, sent Zhi Nu’s grandmother to bring her back to heaven. Unable to stay separated from his wife, Niu Lang wore the ox’s hide, carried his two kids and wife’s old fairy clothes, and set out to look for his wife in the sky.

But the grandmother could not tolerate the union and hence, created the Milky Way to separate the two lovers. With this, the princess was shifted to the star Vega in the Lyra (Harp) constellation while the cowherd, along with his two children, was sent to the star Altair (Flying One) in the Aquila (Eagle) constellation. And thus, the Vega star came to be known as the Weaving Maid Star and Altair star as the Cowherd Star. However, their separation did not last long as the mother took pity and chose to arrange for their meeting once a year on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month. The Chinese believe that on this day, the magpies create a bridge with their wings, allowing the two lovers to cross over and unite with one another.

Chinese Valentine’s Day Celebrations
Just as China has a different tale to narrate the history behind observing Valentine's Day, celebrations also vary from those seen in the rest of the world. It’s not just the exchange of flowers, cards, and chocolates in China that, in turn, largely marks the Valentine’s Day traditions across the world. China brings into limelight some specific colorful and spirited rituals. Couples who are yet to get married visit the temple of Matchmaker to pray for their love, happiness, and possibility of their marriage, while those who are still single, offer prayers for finding a suitable match to complete their love life.

The Weaving Maid, or Zhi Nu was very talented and excelled in handicraft skills. Thus, the festival is also called The Daughter’s Festival wherein unmarried Chinese girls pray to the Weaving Maid to bless them with the same skills as the princess. To find out whether they are smart or not, the girls place a needle on the surface of the water when the Vega star lands high up in the sky. If the needle floats, it means that the girl is smart and well prepared to find herself a husband. Some provinces of China decorate the horns of ox with flowers as a sign to prevent them from all kinds of disasters. Women wash their tresses, revealing the fresh and shiny locks on the night of valentines day flowers men .

These little delights will bring an element of light, fluffy love and happiness to the table on the key date of the year to unlock all hearts.
(Makes 10 small cupcakes)

Ingredients:

For the Cakes:

Egg (free range please) 1
plain flour (or use self raising and omit the baking powder) 75G
Sugar 50g
Loseley Summer Meadow Butter 62g
Baking powder 1/2 tsp
Pixley Berries blackcurrant cordial 3 tsp
Pink food colouring (optional) few drops

For the Frosting:

If you will be spreading rather than piping your frosting you will need rather less.

Loseley Summer Meadow Butter 75g
Icing sugar 250g
Pixley Berries blackcurrant cordial 1 – 2 tbs

Method:

Add the eggs, butter, flour, sugar, baking powder & salt to a bowl and beat with a hand whisk until blended. Add the cordial and briefly mix again. The batter should be loose enough to dollop off a spoon.

Line a bun tin with fairy cake cases. Fill each case 2/3 with batter and bake at 190C / GM 5 for about 12 minutes.

Chef’s Tip:

The secret to fluffy buttercream is to beat the butter really well before you add any sugar. The trick is to make the butter cream in the food processor to prevent the kitchen being covered in clouds of icing sugar. If you make it with a hand mixer you will need to add the icing sugar slowly to the butter.

Put the butter in the food processor bowl and process for a minute or so, until soft and fluffy. Pour in the icing sugar and cordial, put the lid back on and cover with a damp tea towel, and process again. Scrape the sides down adding more cordial or icing sugar if needed and process again.

Decorate your cakes, using sprinkles and love hearts valentines day flowers men .

Both raw cake batter and the frosting freeze well.

Loseley Summer Meadow Butter is packed in a 250g tub and costs £1.39p.

valentines day flowers men - Hanoi concludes New Year flower fest

Hanoi concluded its third New Year Flower Festival Monday evening after putting on a four day street exhibition of flowers and flower installations in its downtown area.

The annual New Year celebration activity drew more than 3 million visitors to the festival venue, which was located around the city’s Hoan Kiem Lake and Dinh Tien Hoang Street, a senior official estimated.

Nguyen Khac Loi, deputy head of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said this year’s crowds certainly outnumbered last year’s 3 million visitors however, the festival’s security was much better.

Now in its third year, the festival has previously witnessed ugly scenes in which locals jostled to pluck, touch, and take pictures with the flowers, or bring them home. Most of the exhibition had been badly damaged by the time the event concluded every year.

To cope with the situation, the local government placed heavy security around the site this year, and strung rope around each installation to prevent visitors from getting too close,.

On the third day, organizers removed the ropes at some of the replicas, but later changed their mind when the crowd poured in and damaged the flowers.

After the festival, organizers will dispose of the valentines day flowers men in order to prevent what happened last year, when visitors elbowed each other as they tried to bring them home.

Also, unlike in the original plan, authorities will not sell the valentines day flowers men to visitors either.
