Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

Either way, it actually shows people's yearning for beautiful love, among which Liang Zhu and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are well known. Although both ended in tragedy, as long as we stick to the true meaning of love, love is waiting for us not far ahead.

"butterfly lovers" is about the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when Zhu Yingtai disguised as a man and went to Hangzhou to study. She became brothers with Lu Yu and was classmates for three years. After returning to China, Zhu Yingtai asked his mistress to marry Liang Shanbo before leaving. From the age of 18, Zhu Yingtai gave it to "Sister". Liang Shanbo was told and proposed to Jia Zhu. At this time, Zhu Ya Gong Yuan has married Ma Wencai, the son of Ma Taishou. Liang Zhu and his wife met on the balcony. After that, Liang Shanbo went home sick and died. When Zhu Yingtai got married, the sedan chair made a detour to Liang Shanbo's grave to pay homage. Thunder cracks the grave, and Yingtai enters it. Liang Zhu became a dancing butterfly.

There is also a folklore, and the difference between them is actually more than 800 years. Liang Shanbo belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yingtai belongs to the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Zhu Yingtai is a chivalrous woman who robs the rich and helps the poor. She went to the prefect's house to steal money, and was later ambushed and hacked to death, and the people reburied her. Liang Shanbo is the magistrate of Yinxian County. When he was buried and dug the grave after his death, he happened to dig out Zhu Yingtai's tombstone. Feng shui was originally good, so it is not appropriate to bury it in other places. So, buried together, erected a monument, black as a beam, red as a wish, a literati had a whim and perfunctory a love story that made the gods cry.

The sad love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl happened in the Western Zhou Dynasty, when the slave society was very strict. This story is a portrayal of the common people's pursuit of happiness and oppression, which means that there are two stars in the sky, which is the truth on earth.

This is one of the best legends in the folk history of China. The Weaver Girl is the granddaughter of the Emperor of Heaven in China mythology. Her job was to weave clouds, and then she went down to earth in private to join the cowherd. After the Queen Mother of the West discovered it, with a stroke of her hair, a Tianhe (Milky Way) appeared between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, separating them. From then on, we will meet every year on the seventh day of July (lunar calendar) on the bridge of magpies. The saying that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on July 7th every year has become our folk belief today. ?
