Don't be obsessed with Tanabata, Tanabata is just a legend.

Legend has it that the 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, the old cow gave him a plan and taught him how to marry a weaver girl. 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.
