Cowherd And Weaver Girl

According to legend, in a long time ago, there was a smart, loyal young man in Nanyang's West cattle house. When his parents died early, he had to live with his elder brother and sister-in-law. His wife was malevolent, often abused and forced him to do a lot of work. In the autumn of one year, his wife forced him to graze cattle, and gave him nine cows, but he could not go home until he had ten cows.

The cowherd drove the cattle to the mountain by himself. He sat down under the tree and was sad. He did not know when he would be able to catch ten cows. Then an old man with white hair appeared in front of him. He asked why he was sad. When he heard about his encounter, he smiled and said to him, "don't be sad. There is a sick cow in Funiu Mountain. You go and feed it well. After the old cow disease is good, you can catch it home.

The cowherd crossed the mountain and walked a long way, and finally found the sick old cow. When he saw that the old cow was very ill, he went to give the old cow a bundle of grass. He fed it for three days, and the old cow was full. Then he looked up and told him that he was a big grey celestial celestial being in the sky. He had been hurt by the heavenly rules for a long time. He broke his leg and could not move.

Their wounds need to be washed for a month with a hundred flowers' dew. The cowherd is not afraid of hard work and carefully takes care of the old cow for a month. During the day, he receives flowers and dew for his old cow, and sleeps in the old age to sleep at night. After the old cow disease is good, the cowboy happily returns home with ten cows.

After returning home, his sister-in-law was still bad to him. He had several times to harm him. He was saved by the old cow, and the sister-in-law finally got angry and drove the cowboy out of the house.

One day, the weaver girl in the sky and all the fairies went down to play in the river, bathed in the river, and the cowherd met the weaver girl with the help of the old cow. The two men were interchanged. Later, the weaver girl came to the world secretly and became the wife of the cowherd.

The weaver girl also distributed the silkworm, which was brought from the sky, to everyone, and taught everyone to raise silkworms, spin silk and make bright and bright satins.

Cowherd and

There is no way for the cowboy to go to heaven, or the old cow tells the cowboy that after it dies, it can make shoes with its skin, so that it can be worn to heaven.

The cowherd did according to the words of the old ox, dressed in the shoes made of cowhide, and pulled his own children together to go up in the clouds to catch up with the weaver. He went to chase the weaver girl in the sky, and saw that he was going to catch up.

Their loyal love moved the magpies.

Later, every the 7th day of the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, it was said that the day when the cowherd Weaver meets the magpie bridge, the girls would come to the moon and look up at the stars, looking for the Cowherd and Vega on both sides of the galaxy, hoping to see their annual meeting, begging God to be able to be as clever as a weaver girl and pray to pray for a satisfactory marriage with their own satisfaction, thus forming the Tanabata Festival.
