1. Introduction

The Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden, a famous Han Chinese folk love story in ancient China, is also one of the four major Chinese folk legends. The other three are "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "Meng Jiangnu Weeps at the Great Wall" and "The Legend of the White Snake".

Derived from the star names Altair and Vega. Legend has it that Weaving Maiden, the granddaughter of the ancient Heavenly Emperor, was good at weaving and wove colorful haze for the sky every day. Hating this boring life, she secretly descended to the mortal world and privately married Cowherd from the west of the river, leading a life of male cultivation and female weaving.

This incident angered the Heavenly Emperor, who caught the Weaving Maiden back to the Heavenly Palace and ordered them to be separated, allowing them to meet only once a year, on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, on the Magpie Bridge. Their steadfast love touched the magpies, and countless magpies flew in and built a magpie bridge across the heavenly river with their bodies, so that the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden could meet each other on the heavenly river.

Nineteen Ancient Poems: "A long way to the Altair star, a bright river maiden. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it. I'm not sure I'll be able to make it through the day, but I'm sure I'll be able to make it through the day. The river is clear and shallow, how far away is it? The river is clear and shallow, how far apart are they?"

The "Cowherd and Weaving Maiden" originated from people's worship of natural phenomena, and later developed into the Tanabata Festival. Every time the festival was celebrated, ancient women would make a wish to the stars Vega and Cowherd in the sky, hoping for a wise mind, dexterous hands and a good marriage.
