What the hell is going on with the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?

That's a little thing between men and women.

A long, long time ago, on the shore of the galaxy where the stars flickered, there was a cloud brocade fang, which was the place where the weaver girl weaved the cloud brocade clothes. On the other side of the galaxy, there is a young man riding on the back of an ox and playing a shepherd flute herding the cattle, and this young man is the morning glory. Morning glory watches the brilliant morning and evening glow every day, as well as the white clouds floating in the blue sky.

Caixia and Baiyun are so beautiful, and the Weaver Girl must be a skillful, hardworking and kind girl. Morning glory used the shepherd's flute to express his admiration for the Weaver Girl. The Weaver Girl saw the morning glory grazing cattle on the other side of the bank through the window every day, heard the sound of the flute full of emotion, and also ignited her admiration for this hard-working and simple young man.

So he weaved a seven-colored ribbon and threw it into the sky, and a rainbow bridge appeared on the river. When the two walked up to the Hongqiao from both sides of the river to meet, a gust of wind blew the Hongqiao off. It turned out that this matter was discovered by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, Morning Glory was relegated to the world, and the Weaver Girl was severely reprimanded and imprisoned.

Introduction to the Qixi Festival:

Qixi Festival, also known as Qiqiao Festival, Qijie Festival, Daughter's Festival, Qiqiao Festival, Qiniang Meeting, Qixi Festival, Ox Bull Po Day, Qiaoxi, etc., is a traditional Chinese folk festival. The Qixi Festival is derived from the worship of the stars, which is the birthday of the Seven Sisters in the traditional sense, and is called "Qixi Festival" because the worship of the "Seven Sisters" is held on the seventh night of July.

It is the traditional customs of Qixi to worship the seventh sister, pray for blessings and make wishes, beg for skillful arts, sit and watch the morning glory Vega, pray for marriage, and store water for Qixi Festival. After historical development, Qixi has been endowed with the beautiful love legend of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", making it a festival symbolizing love, which is considered to be the most romantic traditional festival in China, and has produced the cultural meaning of "Chinese Valentine's Day" in contemporary times.

I'll go, I don't know this, go ask Du Niang.

It mainly tells the story of Niulang is an orphan in Niujiazhuang who relies on his brother and sister-in-law to live. The sister-in-law was mean and often abused him, and he was forced to split up and feed himself on an old cow.

After getting married, they farmed and weaved, gave birth to a son and a daughter, and lived a very happy life. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Heaven found out about this and sent the Queen Mother to escort the Weaver Girl back to the Heavenly Court for trial.

The old cow couldn't bear to let their wives separate, so he cut off the horns on his head and turned it into a small boat, and let the cowherd carry his children to chase after him in a boat. Seeing that she was about to catch up with the Weaver Girl, the Queen Mother suddenly pulled off the golden hairpin on her head, and drew a rolling Milky Way in the sky. The Cowherd couldn't cross the river, so he could only look at the Weaver Girl by the river and weep from afar.

Their steadfast love touched the magpies, and countless magpies flew over and used their bodies to build a colorful bridge across the Tianhe, so that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could meet on the Tianhe.

In the future, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will meet on July 7 every year.
