The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl

In the play, the Cowherd is a child herding cows in the countryside. He refused to help his brother with farming, refused to help his sister-in-law with water, and refused to help his mother with housework. The Cowherd is just playful and only likes to make strange fantasies.

His best friend is the old cow he guards. One night, he saw a heavenly wonderland in a dream. So he took the old ox and set out into heaven.

At the same time, there is a weaver girl in the sky who wants to go down to earth to enjoy the warmth of the world. The Queen Mother took pity on the loneliness of the Weaver Girl, so she sent the golden boy and the magpie to take the Weaver Girl to the ends of the earth to meet the Cowherd. "The golden wind and jade dew meet", it is really "victory but countless in the world".

A couple was sent on their honeymoon.

The Cowherd traveled all over the heavens, and after a long time, he felt bland. The Weaver Girl has to continue to weave Yunjin Tianyi, and she can't always accompany him. The Cowherd became more and more bored, and learned from the golden boy that the people in the family were looking forward to him going back day and night, so he told the Weaver Girl about his intention to go home.

The Weaver Girl was determined to go with him to the earth and enjoy the lovely spring. It's a pity that the incident is not secret, and the Queen Mother of the West knows. She rushed to use the hosta to form a galaxy to separate the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and only promised to send magpies to form a bridge every year on Qixi Festival, so that they could cross the river and meet once.

When the cowherd returned to the world, he was very happy to see his mother, brother, and sister-in-law again. From then on, he was no longer lazy, no longer had useless fantasies, and worked hard every day. He realized that beauty can also be created in real life.

He smelled the earth, and he understood the meaning of life. His only regret is that the Weaver Girl he loves can't also come to the ground to work with him and enjoy the warmth of the world together. However, you can still meet once a year on Qixi Festival, which is much better than saying goodbye.

Cowherd is an orphan in Niujiazhuang who lives according to his brother and sister-in-law. His sister-in-law, Ma, was mean and often abused him, and he was forced to split up and rely on an old cow to feed himself. This old cow is very psychic, one day, the Weaver Girl and the fairies went down to play and bathed in the river, the old cow persuaded the Cowherd to get the Weaver Girl's clothes, and the Weaver Girl became the Cowherd's wife.

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.

The Queen Mother had no choice but to allow the Cowherd and Weaver Girl to meet once a year on July 7 on the Magpie Bridge.

Since the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the rainy season, it often rains on this day, and people say that this is the tears of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Some boys and girls in the countryside will lie under the grape trellises, and it is said that the whispers of the cowherd and the weaver girl can be heard. Because the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is beautiful and moving, to this day, people often use "the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" to describe the love of husband and wife.
