七夕的习俗：投针验巧
“七夕节”是中国一个以女性为主角的传统节日，广大妇女乞巧意在“乞巧艺、求巧配”。七夕节最普遍的习俗就是妇女们进行各种乞巧活动。
在乞巧风俗中，针是一种特殊的节日道具，乃古代女孩子必须会用的，做“女红”即针线活儿的必备。古代有专门用于七月七乞巧的针，这种乞巧“专用针”的针孔较大，有的还不止一孔，有双眼、五孔、七孔，多的达到“九孔”。
七月七当晚，如果能顺利穿针引线就是“得巧”了。直到明清时期，女孩仍都爱用针乞巧。投针验巧是七夕穿针乞巧风俗的变体，源于穿针，又不同于穿针，是明清两代的盛行的七夕节俗。
明刘侗、于奕正的《帝京景物略》说：“七月七日之午丢巧针。妇女曝盎水日中，顷之，水膜生面，绣针投之则浮，看水底针影。有成云物花头鸟兽影者，有成鞋及剪刀水茄影者，谓乞得巧;其影粗如锤、细如丝、直如轴蜡，此拙征矣。”
《直隶志书》也说，良乡县(今北京西南)“七月七日，妇女乞巧，投针于水，借日影以验工拙，至夜仍乞巧于织女”请于敏中《日下旧闻考》引《宛署杂记》说：“燕都女子七月七日以碗水暴日下，各自投小针浮之水面，徐视水底日影。或散如花，动如云，细如线，粗租如锥，因以卜女之巧。”
“投针验巧”就是提前一晚取“鸳鸯水”(白天和夜晚取得水混合或者河水和井水混合)倒在盆里，水在盆里露天一夜加七夕白天晒一天，水面就会依稀生成薄膜状物质。这时候拿缝衣针轻轻放在水面，针浮在膜状物质上，观察针在盆底的倒影。针影如果是笔直的一条，即是“乞巧”失败，如果针影形成各种形状，或弯曲，或一头粗，一头细，或是其他图形，便是“得巧”。
