The story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl is abbreviated to 300 words.

The story happened 1200 years ago. Cowherd and Vega is a famous folk love story of Han nationality in ancient China, which comes from the star names of Cowherd and Vega.

Mainly tells the story that Cowherd is an orphan in Niujiazhuang and lives with his brother and sister-in-law. Sister-in-law is very mean and often abuses him. He was forced to leave his family and live on an old cow.

This old cow is very psychic. One day, the weaver girl and fairies came down to play games and take a bath in the river. The old cow suggested that the cowherd go to see him. Later, they discussed it and understood their difficulties, so the Weaver Girl became the wife of the Cowherd. After marriage, they farm and weave, have a son and a daughter, and live a very happy life. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Heaven discovered this matter and sent the Empress Dowager to escort the Weaver Girl back to heaven for trial.

The old cow couldn't bear to see their wife and children separated, so she touched the horn on her head and turned it into a boat for the cowherd to chase with her children. On the verge of catching up with Weaver Girl, the Queen Mother suddenly tore off the golden hairpin on her head and drew a rolling galaxy in the sky.

Cowherd can't cross the river, so he can only look at the river and cry with Weaver Girl. Their faithful love touched magpies, and countless magpies flew in and built a colorful bridge on the Tianhe River with their bodies, so that the cowherd and the Weaver Girl could meet on the Tianhe River.

The Queen Mother had no choice but to allow the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet at the Magpie Bridge once a year on July 7, and the magpie would be around. Cowherd and Weaver Girl will meet on July 7th every year.
