Before dawn, she drove him up the hill to herd cattle. Everyone calls him Cowherd. A few years later, her brother and sister-in-law separated, and the heartless sister-in-law only gave him a broken tile house and an old cow. Since then, the cowherd has been grazing cattle and chopping wood during the day, and sleeping with the old cow in the broken tile house at night. One day, the cowherd drove the cow into a strange forest, where the mountains and rivers were beautiful and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. Cowherd saw nine fairies driving Xiangyun on the grass by the river, so he took off his colorful clothes and jumped into the crystal clear river. The cowherd stared at the youngest and most beautiful fairy. When the old cow saw God, she suddenly said, "She is a weaver girl in the sky. Just take away the colorful clothes and she will be your wife. " Cowherd quietly walked along the tree with Weaver Girl's colorful clothes. Near noon, other fairies put on colorful dresses and drove away in Xiangyun. Only the weaver girl in colorful clothes can't be found.

◆ The Legend of Double Ninth Festival

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a plague demon in Ruhe. As soon as it appeared, people got sick and died every day. People in this area suffered from the plague. A plague killed Hengjing's parents, and he almost died himself. After recovering from illness, Hengjing bid farewell to his wife and villagers, and decided to visit immortals to learn art, so as to eliminate the epidemic for the people. Hengjing visited famous mountains and rivers, and finally found a magical fairy on the oldest mountain in the East. Under the guidance of the crane, Xianchang finally took in Heng Jing Xian Chang, taught him how to fight the devil, and gave him a sword to fight the devil. Hengjing forgot to eat and sleep, and finally practiced martial arts. On this day, the immortal called Heng Jing to him and said, "At the beginning of September tomorrow, the plague god will come out to do evil again. You have learned your skills, and you should go back and kill pests for the people. " The immortal gave Hengjing a pack of dogwood Ye Yi Jijufu wine and secretly taught him how to ward off evil spirits so that Hengjing could ride a crane home. On the morning of the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, Hengjing returned to his hometown. He took the villagers to a nearby mountain according to the fairy's instructions, and then gave everyone a piece of dogwood chrysanthemum wine. At noon, with several strange cries, the plague demon rushed out of Ruhe River and just rushed to the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, there were bursts of strange fragrance of Cornus officinalis and chrysanthemum alcohol. Mo Wen stopped suddenly and his face suddenly changed. Heng Jing chased down the mountain with a demon-reducing sword and stabbed Mo Wen to death by the sword. Since then, the custom of climbing mountains on the ninth day of September to avoid epidemics has been handed down year after year.
