Who knows how Valentine's Day came about?

Around the third century AD in Rome, Caesar had been dead for almost 300 years, and the tyrant Claudius was still in power. At that time, there were frequent wars inside and outside Rome, and the people were in dire straits. In order to replenish men and carry the war to the end, Claudos ordered all men who reached a certain age to join the Roman army. From then on, the husband left his wife and the teenager left his lover. So the whole of Rome was shrouded in a long acacia. The tyrant was very angry at this. In order to achieve his own goal, he even ordered that China people be forbidden to hold wedding ceremonies, and even asked married people to break their contracts.

However, tyranny cannot forbid love. In the tyrant's country, there lived a venerable monk Valentine. He couldn't bear to watch couples go there like this, so he secretly married couples who came to ask for help. For a time, this exciting news spread all over the country, and more couples secretly came to the monks for help.

However, it was soon known by the tyrant, so he once again showed his cruel face-put the monk in prison and eventually tortured to death. The date of the monk's death was February 14, and February 14, 270.

In order to commemorate this man who dared to fight the tyrant, people gradually took February 14 as a festival. Many centuries have passed, and people no longer remember Claudius' name, his scepter and sword, but they will still remember the Valentane brothers, because it was Valentine's Day, that is, Valentine's Day.

Version 2

This version doesn't seem as exciting as the last one. Legend has it that Valentane was one of the earliest Christians. Being a Christian at that time meant danger and death. In order to cover other martyrs, Valentane was taken to prison. There, he cured the blind eye of the warden's daughter. When the tyrant heard a miracle, he was so frightened that he beheaded Valentane. According to legend, on the morning of the execution, Valentane wrote an affectionate farewell letter to the warden's daughter, which was signed: from your Valentine (from your Valentane).

Version 3

Historians prefer to get to the bottom of it, and their explanation of Valentine's Day seems convincing. In fact, as early as AD 270, when Rome laid the foundation stone, there was still a wilderness around, and wolves wandered around in droves. Among the gods worshipped by the Romans, Lubbocus was in charge of the protection of shepherds and sheep. Every year in mid-February, the Romans hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the festival of faun. Compared with now, the calendar at that time was a little later, so the festival of faun was actually a celebration of the coming spring. It is also said that this festival is to celebrate the Fornas God who is in charge of animal husbandry and agriculture. In the festival celebration, there was a young aristocrat running in the street with a sheepskin whip in his hand. Young women will gather on both sides of the street, hoping that the sheepskin whip will hit them on the head. People think it will make it easier for them to have children. In Latin, sheepskin whip is called februa and whipping is called fabruatio, both of which actually mean' purity'. This is the origin of the name February.

With the expansion of Roman power in Europe, the custom of faun festival was brought to France and Britain. One of people's favorite holiday activities is similar to lottery. The young women's names are put in the box, and then the young men come forward to smoke. A pair of drawn men and women become lovers for one year or more.

The rise of Christianity makes people's custom of commemorating gods gradually indifferent. People don't want to give up the joy of the festival, so they changed the festival of faun to Valentine's Day and moved it to February 14. In this way, the legend about the Valentine brothers and the ancient festivals are naturally combined. This festival was the most popular in medieval England. After the names of unmarried men and women are drawn, they will exchange gifts with each other, and women will become lovers of men within this year. A woman's name will be embroidered on a man's sleeve, so it is his sacred duty to take care of and protect women.

Valentane's lover in the modern sense was recorded in/kloc-0 at the beginning of the 5th century. The young French Duke of Orleans was captured by the British in the Battle of Ginkul and was held in the Tower of London for many years. He wrote many love poems to his wife, about 60 of which have been preserved to this day. About 200 years later, flowers appeared as a symbol of festivals in Valentane. A daughter of French King Henry IV held a grand party in Valentane Festival. All the ladies got a bunch of flowers from the man who chose her to play Valentane. In this way, continuing the ancient customs of Italy, France and Britain, we can send love messages to our friends on February 14 every year. Flowers, heart-shaped candy, and souvenirs that cover the sender's name with lace and broken ears not only represent sincere love, but also represent the best commemoration of the Valentine brothers who dared to resist tyranny.

Version 4

In ancient Rome, February 14 was a festival to show respect for Jonah. Jonah was the queen of the Roman gods, and the Romans regarded her as the goddess of women and marriage. The following February, 15, was called Lupsala Festival to show respect for other gods under the rule of Jonah.

In ancient Rome, the lives of young people and girls were strictly separated. However, on Lupsala Festival, boys can choose the name of a girl they love and carve it on a vase. In this way, during the festival, young people can dance with the girl of their choice to celebrate the festival. If the selected girls are interested in boys, they can always pair up and eventually they will fall in love and get married in church. For this reason, future generations designated February 14 every year as Valentine's Day.

Version 5

An English dictionary reads: "Valentane Festival (Valentine's Day): February 14, it is said that birds start to tail each other on this day."

When it comes to Valentine's Day, the two key words that have to be mentioned are of course romance and roses.

romantic

Romance is called romance in English. Someone translated it as "romance", transliteration, of course. Killo thinks this translation is good. Romance is defined in the dictionary as "poetic and full of fantasy".

Don't confuse romanticism with romance. Romanticism is explained as follows:

"A creative method in literature and art uses rich imagination and exaggerated, unrealistic or legendary techniques to shape characters and reflect real life.

A certain aspect of the romantic movement (such as sentimentalism, antique or medieval spirit) "

The romance of biographies is more conventional, which generally reminds people of these two shots:

1. Prepare dry powder fire extinguishers and matches, and eat candlelight dinner with trepidation;

2. Bring a band-aid and step on the beach full of crab holes.

Of course, this is a thing of the past for us new humans. Now romance must be explored by ourselves. Killo doesn't have a girlfriend (not in the past), and now she doesn't have enough time to enjoy "romance", so it is impossible to provide too many romantic scenes, hee hee.
