My uncle slept very hard, and it wasn't until the next night that he got up and walked to the toilet and saw me coming back, so he asked, "Are you okay, I fell asleep and didn't notice that you came back." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

I rolled over and sat up, and when my uncle came back, I asked him, "Uncle, what day is the seventh day of July?" ”

My uncle looked at me and said, "Are you asking about the solar calendar or the lunar calendar?" ”

"Does it make a difference? Then tell me what day this solar calendar is, and what day is this lunar calendar! ”

"This July 7, if you talk about the solar calendar, it is the July 7 incident, since then the Chinese have really begun to fight against Little Japan, that is an important historical event, don't you know?"

"How can that? I'm testing you! I laughed.

"Come on, just your school energy, I don't know yet? I'm afraid you don't know about this incident! ”

"Then this lunar calendar, I'm afraid you don't know even more, this seventh day of July, also called Qixi Festival!"

"Tanabata Festival? What do you mean? ”

So my uncle told me some things about the Qixi Festival.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a smart and loyal young man in the West Niujiazhuang in Nanyang City, his parents died early, so he had to live with his brother and sister-in-law, his sister-in-law Ma was vicious, often abused him, and forced him to do a lot of work, in the autumn of one year, his sister-in-law forced him to herd cattle, gave him nine cows, but let him wait until he had ten cows to go home, and 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, and the old cow tells the Cowherd that after it dies, it can be made into shoes from its skin, and it can go to the sky. 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 to the sky to chase the Weaver Girl, and saw that he was about to catch up, but he didn't know that the Queen Mother pulled off the golden hairpin 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 closely.

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 Vega 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, and pray that they can have a happy marriage, so the Qixi Festival was formed.

It turns out that this festival still has a meaning, presumably this four picks also have ideas for this day, right?
