Is the "Meeting on the Magpie Bridge" on Chinese Valentine's Day a comedy or a tragedy?

I think the "Meeting on the Magpie Bridge" on Chinese Valentine's Day is more joyful than sad.

This is the folk story about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting on the Magpie Bridge on the Chinese Valentine's Day.

? Once upon a time, there was a village where a pair of brothers lived. Because their parents died early, the two depended on each other.

Because of their financial difficulties, they usually farm and herd cattle, and sometimes do part-time labor for other families.

With such a difficult life, they couldn't care less about going to school, but both brothers lived strong and happily.

My younger brother often went to herd cows, so others called him Cowherd.

Day after day, year after year, the two brothers are almost growing up, and the Cowherd is also 16 years old.

? So the elder brother got married, and from then on the Cowherd had a sister-in-law.

The family of three was fine at first, but it didn't last long. My sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter, and life became even more difficult.

Whenever it was time to eat, he would let the Cowherd go to work. When the Cowherd came back, he would have finished eating, but his sister-in-law didn't leave anything for him.

As time went by, the Cowherd became thinner and thinner, but who could take care of his grievances?

? One day, the sister-in-law said to the Cowherd's brother that the Cowherd was getting older and would get married one day and start a family. He couldn't live in the cowshed. It was inevitable that he would not compete with his brother for the house and the family property.

The elder brother thought for a while and felt that what his woman said made sense, so he wanted to separate from Niulang.

That day the Cowherd came back from mowing the grass. It was very late and he couldn't find anything to eat in the stove. He drank a few sips of cold water and went to lie down on the haystack in the cowshed. He soon fell asleep. He was too tired.

In the middle of the night, the old scalper woke him up.

He looked at the old scalper and felt that the closest "person" in the world was this old scalper.

The old scalper left by his parents has lived for many years. He has been taking care of it since the Cowherd was a child. We go to the river together, go home together, and sleep in the cowshed. The relationship is very deep.

He said to the old scalper: "Why don't you sleep? Do you want to chat with me?"

The cow said, "Nowherd, what's wrong, your sister-in-law and your brother want to separate from you?" When the cowherd saw the old scalper speaking, he was shocked and at a loss.

Niu said: "Don't be afraid. Thank you for your careful care over the past ten years. I have learned the truth. When your brother and sister-in-law separate from you, you can have nothing but me." The next day, really

As the old scalper said, the elder brother and younger brother are going to separate their families.

I originally thought that my younger brother would insist on asking for a lot of family property, but unexpectedly, my younger brother only wanted an old scalper, and my brother and sister-in-law felt that they had taken a big advantage.

After the separation, the Cowherd and the old scalper really depended on each other.

Days pass by, winter turns to spring, and summer arrives in the blink of an eye.

One evening, the old scalper spoke again: "Cowherd, do you want to marry a beautiful woman?" When the Cowherd heard this, he laughed angrily and said, "Brother Niu, don't be joking. Look at me again.

I am poor, uneducated, average-looking, and have no relatives or friends. Whose daughter will marry me?" The old scalper turned his head, swung his tail, and said seriously: "I want to repay your kindness, as long as you do it?

Do as I say and you will get a beautiful woman as your wife." The Cowherd looked at the old scalper and knew that he was serious about getting the immortal way. The Cowherd was also in his prime. As the old saying goes, which one?

If a woman is not pregnant, what son would want to be single?

During those days and nights, Cowherd was both looking forward to and worried.

? This day the Cowherd rode the old scalper to the waterside not far from Nantang, where there was abundant water and grass.

The old scalper said to the Cowherd: "Today at noon, there will be a group of women in Nantang. Sneak over quietly and don't let them see it. If you see their clothes, you must take back the pink one."

The Cowherd felt that looking at women was really embarrassing, but for the sake of the beautiful girl, he strengthened his confidence and took great courage.

It was hot at noon, and the Cowherd was very familiar with the place. He walked around behind the grass and heard the sound of women playing in the water. Looking through the grass, he saw seven beautiful women as beautiful as gods in the green pond. The breeze was blowing and the waves were shining.

Sparkling….

It happened that their clothes were all hanging on the grass, and the pink ones were closest to the Cowherd.

The Cowherd took the clothes and quickly returned to the old scalper... It turned out that these seven beautiful girls were the seven fairies. When they flew from the sky, they saw the rippling and green water below.

Who brought up the idea of ??going to the human world, so they all wanted to see the beautiful scenery and experience how the clear water on earth compares to the clear water in the sky?

Because one day in the sky and one year on the earth, time is really short in the sky, so they thought they would not be discovered by the Queen Mother.

The seven fairies played happily in the water and watched the colorful clouds on the shore swaying in the wind. They really fell in love with the world.

For fear of delaying their trip, they finally left. They wrapped their clothes gracefully and flew away, one after another... By the time the Seven Fairies arrived, they could not find their clothes.

Her sisters were gone in the clouds and there was no one left to help him.

Just when he was extremely anxious, the Cowherd appeared.

The Cowherd said: "Girl, are you looking for clothes? A gust of wind just blew a piece of clothes far away, and I picked it up." The Seven Fairies did not speak, and they were a bit strange to people...

.As soon as she saw Niulang's young appearance, which had the same youthful air as her own, she had a favorable impression and the feeling of strangeness was much lessened.

The Seven Fairies put on their clothes, thanked the Cowherd and were supposed to leave. When she turned back to see the Cowherd, the Cowherd invited her to his house for a drink of water.

Among the seven fairies, the Seven Fairies are the smartest and most yearning for human life.
