The Qixi Festival has always been connected with the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and this love story that has been passed down through the ages has become one of the four major folk love legends in China.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a smart person in the West Niujiazhuang in Nanyang City. Loyal young man, his parents died early, he had to live with his brother and sister-in-law, sister-in-law Ma was vicious, often abused him, forced him to do a lot of work, one autumn, sister-in-law forced him to herd cattle, gave him nine cows, but let him wait for ten cows to go home, the cowherd had no choice but to drive the cow out of the village.

The cowherd drove the cow into the mountain alone, in the deep grass and dense forest, he sat under the tree and was sad, I don't know when he could drive ten cows home, at this time, an old man with white hair appeared in front of him, asked him why he was sad, when he learned what happened to him, smiled and said to him: "Don't be sad, there is a sick old cow in the Funiu Mountain, you go and feed it well, and when the old cow is sick, you can drive it home."

He saw that the old cow was very sick, so he went to fetch a bundle of grass for the old cow, and fed it for three days, and the old cow was full, so he raised his head and told him: He was originally a gray cow immortal in the sky, and he was demoted to the sky because he violated the rules of heaven, broke his leg, and could not move. Their own injuries need to be washed with the dew of flowers for a month to be good, the cowherd is not afraid of hard work, carefully took care of the old cow for a month, during the day for the old cow to pick flowers and receive dew to heal the injury, at night snuggled up to sleep next to the elderly, to the old cow after the illness, the cowherd happily drove ten cows home.

After returning home, his sister-in-law was still not good to him, and he tried to harm him several times, but he was rescued by the old cow, and the sister-in-law finally drove the cowherd out of the house in anger, and the cowherd only wanted the old cow to accompany him.

One day, the Weaver Girl in the sky and the fairies went down to play together, bathed in the river, the Cowherd met the Weaver Girl with the help of the old cow, and the two had mutual affection, and then the Weaver Girl secretly went down to earth, came to the world, and became the wife of the Cowherd. The Weaver Girl also distributed the silkworms brought from heaven to everyone, and taught everyone to raise silkworms, draw silk, and weave bright and bright silk.

After the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl got married, the man ploughed and the woman weaved, and the love was deep, and they gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl, and the family lived happily. But the good times didn't last long, and the emperor soon knew that the Queen Mother personally came down to earth and forcibly brought the Weaver Girl back to heaven, and the loving husband and wife were separated.

The Cowherd has no way to go to the sky, or the old cow tells the Cowherd that after it dies, it can be made into shoes with its skin, and it can go to heaven by wearing it. The Cowherd did according to the words of the old cow, put on shoes made of cowhide, pulled his children, and drove the clouds and fog up to the sky to chase the Weaver Girl, seeing that he was about to catch up, how did he know that the Queen Mother pulled off the golden hairpin on her head and waved, and a turbulent Tianhe appeared, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were separated on both sides of the river, and could only cry and cry relatively well. Their loyal love touched the magpie, thousands of magpies flew in, built a magpie bridge, let the cowherd and weaver girl walk on the magpie bridge to meet, the queen mother was helpless about this, had to allow the two to meet on the magpie bridge on July 7 every year.

Later, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, according to legend, on the day of the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on the bridge, the girls would come to the moon before the flower, look up at the starry sky, look for the Cowherd Star and the Weaver Girl Star on both sides of the Milky Way, hoping to see their annual meeting, begging God to let them be as ingenious as the Weaver Girl, praying that they can have a happy marriage, thus forming the Qixi Festival.
