    Legend has it that Cowherd's parents died early, and he was often abused by his brother and sister-in-law, and was only accompanied by an old cow. One day, Lao Niu gave him a plan to marry the Weaver Girl as his wife. On that day, the beautiful fairies did bathe in the Milky Way and frolic in the water.

    At this time, the Cowherd, who was hiding in the reeds, suddenly ran out and took the Weaver Girl's clothes. The frightened fairies hurriedly went ashore, dressed and flew away, leaving only the Weaver Girl. At the begging of the Cowherd, the Weaver Girl agreed to be his wife.

    After marriage, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the Farmer and the Weaver Weaver, loved each other, and lived a very happy life. The Weaver Girl also gave birth to a son and a daughter to the Cowherd. Later, when the old cow was about to die, he told the cowherd to keep its skin and put it on for help when it was in trouble.

    After the old cow died, the couple reluctantly peeled off the cow and buried it on the hillside.

    When the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd got married, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Court knew about it, and they were furious and ordered the Heavenly God to capture the Weaver Girl back in the lower realm. The gods took advantage of the Cowherd's absence and captured the Weaver Girl. The Cowherd went home and didn't see the Weaver Girl, so he hurriedly put on a cowhide and chased after the two children.

    Seeing that she was about to catch up, the Queen Mother was in a hurry, pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and stroked towards the Milky Way, and the former shallow Milky Way became turbid in an instant, and the Cowherd could no longer pass. Since then, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can only have tears in their eyes, looking at each other across the river, for a long time, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother can not resist the sincere feelings between them, and they are allowed to meet once a year on July 7, according to legend, every seventh day of the seventh month, the magpie in the world will fly to the sky, and meet on the magpie bridge for the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the Milky Way. In addition, in the dead of night, people can also hear the love words of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky under the grape trellis or other melon and fruit trellises.

    This is a punishment for their immortal love, seeing them once a year is still humane, and a minute can make them forever isolated and never see each other.

The children miss you very much, and ask me for my mother all day long, and I say that my mother is a fairy in the sky, busy, and she will come back to see you when she is free.

    Don't keep looking at me running in my dreams all day long, I'm tired enough during the day, just rest well at night, I'll be very satisfied to see you asleep in my dreams. Weaver Girl: "You are thin, the children are fat, the children are older, they can do some work, you have to let them do it, the day when I return to you is not far away, Brother Niu, you must wait for me, I am here to rust a purse a day, you see, this is this year, go back, keep one, and exchange the rest for two money, it is not easy for you to take the children alone." ”

    Because it's the law. Every year on Qixi Festival, the Cowherd and Vega gather together due to sports. From this law, it is made into a moving story. The Emperor of Heaven will let the two of them get together once a year on Qixi Festival.

    Xi Festival, also known as Qiqiao Festival, Seven Sisters Festival, Daughter's Day, Qiqiao Festival, Qi Niang Hui, Qiao Xi, Niu Bull Po Day, Double Seven, etc., is a traditional Chinese folk festival, which is the birthday of the Seven Sisters in the traditional sense. Because the worship of the "Seven Sisters" was held on the seventh day of July, it was named "Qixi Festival". It is the traditional customs of Qixi to worship the Seventh Sister, pray for blessings and wishes, beg for skillful arts, sit and watch the morning glory Vega, pray for marriage and auspiciousness, and store Qixi water.

    After historical development, Qixi Festival has been endowed with the beautiful love legend of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", because it has been endowed with love-related connotations, making it a festival symbolizing love, which is considered to be the most romantic traditional festival of the Chinese people, and has produced the cultural meaning of "Chinese Valentine's Day" in contemporary times.

    Not only can we be together on the day of Tanabata, but I also want to be together every day from morning to night.

    The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, a beautiful love story, just because of the golden hairpin of the Queen Mother, they will face each other across the river, and they can only meet on the seventh day of July every year. You can only see each other once a year, and you have to wait a year to see each other. I think this kind of love is poignant.

    Festivals always have to say blessings, Qixi everyone will say, happy Qixi Festival! Is the Cowherd and Weaver Girl happy? Perhaps, regret it after a long time to relieve the bitterness of lovesickness.

    The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark. As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win and there are countless people in the world. Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, and you can endure the return of the Magpie Bridge. If the sensitivity, before the two grips, is it long, how can it be, morning and twilight.

    Loving someone is, not to mention Tanabata, but I hope that day and night. When you are in love, you can't get tired of being together every day. In Gu Cheng's "In Front of the Door", it is said that "the grass is bearing its seeds, and the wind is shaking its leaves."

    It's beautiful when we stand and don't speak. "The initial appearance of love, Duan Zhi is not seen for a day, as if every other autumn. But the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were forced to separate, and they could only get together once a year. I think that if the relationship between the two is long, it should be in the morning and twilight.
