Legend has it that the granddaughter Zhinu of the ancient Emperor of Heaven was good at weaving cloth and weaving rosy clouds into the sky every day. She hated the dull life. She secretly went down to earth and married the cowherd in Hexi to live a life of man farming and weaving.

This provoked the Emperor of Heaven to take Zhinu back to the Palace of Heaven and order them to separate, and only allowed them to be there on July 7 every year. Meet once on Magpie Bridge. Their steadfast love moved magpies.

Countless magpies flew to build a colorful bridge across the Tianhe River with their bodies, so that Cowherd and Weaver Girl could meet on the Tianhe River.

The Cowherd and the Girl Weaver （牛郎织女）

On the east bank of the Heavenly River lived a girl weaver, daughter of the Emperor of Heaven. She worked hard year in and year out, weaving colourful clothes for gods and goddesses.Since she lived all alone, the emperor took pity on her and allowed her to marry the cowherd on the west bank of the river. However, she stopped weaving after she was married. Greatly outraged, the emperor forced the girl back across the river and allowed her to join her husband only once a year. On the seventh day of each autumn, magpies would suddenly become bald-headed for no obvious reasons at all. According to legend, that day the cowherd and the weaver met on the east bank of the river, and magpies were made to form a bridge for them. And for this reason the down on their heads was worn out.

译文：

在天河东岸，住着一位织女，她是天帝的女儿。她年复一年努力地工作，为众神和女神织就五彩缤纷的衣服。因为她一个人住，皇帝可怜她，允许她嫁给河西岸的牛郎。然而，在她结婚后，她停止了编织。皇帝非常愤怒，强迫女孩回到天河对岸，让她每年只和丈夫团聚一次。每年秋天的第七天，喜鹊会突然变得秃顶根本不知道是什么原因。有传说是因为那天牛郎和织女在河的东岸相遇，喜鹊为他们造了一座桥。正因如此，他们的头被磨破了。

The story of Chinese Valentine's Day .In a Chinese legend, the Sun God had seven beautiful daughters. All his fairy daughters could weave beautiful clothes. One day, the seven fairies came down from heaven and were playing in a river. A cowherd walked by the river. He saw that the fairies had left their beautiful clothes on the shore, so he took one of them. His plan was to stop one of the fairies from flying back to their heaven palace.

He reasoned that the fairies needed to wear their beautiful clothes if they wanted to fly. When it was time to go home, the youngest fairy could not find her clothes. The other fairies put on their clothes and flew away. The youngest fairy was very sad and she started to cry. The cowherd saw this and offered to take her to his house. Because the cowherd took care of the fairy so well,she fell in love with him and married him.

The Sun God also blessed their marriage. After they were married, the fairy thougjt she did not need to weave again. The Sun God got so angry that he took his youngest daughter away from her husband. He never wanted to see the cowherd again.

From then on, the fairy weaver stayed in heaven, and the cowherd stayed on earth. They could only see each other once a year on July 7th on the lunar calendar. The birds felt so sad for this young couple that they made a bridge for the two to walk on. This bridge is known as the "Milky Way"

Only once a year, the couple could meet on the Milky Way. And they still love each other deeply. Now it is a tradition to celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day once a year on July 7th of the lunar calender.

Chinese Valentine's Day falls on the seventh day of the seventh.month of the lunar calendar. In China, this day is also known as "The Begging Festival".

he seventh daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, the Weaving Maid, and an orphaned cowherd were separated by the Emperor; the girl was forced to move to the star Vega and the cowherd, to the star Altair. They were only allowed to meet on the magpie bridge over the Milky Way once a year on the day of seventh day of seventh lunar month - Chinese Valentine's Day.

The festival has its origin from a romantic tragedy. As the story goes, once there was a cowherd, Niulang, who lived with his elder brother and sister-in-law. But she disliked and abused him, and the boy was forced to leave home with only an old cow for company. The cow, however, was a former god who had violated imperial rules and was sent to earth in bovine form. One day the cow led Niulang to a lake where fairies took a bath on earth. Among them was Zhinu, the most beautiful fairy and a skilled seamstress. The two fell in love at first sight and were soon married. They had a son and daughter and their happy life was held up as an example for hundreds of years in China. Yet in the eyes of the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Deity in Taoism, marriage between a mortal and fairy was strictly forbidden. He sent the empress to fetch Zhinu.
