The Story of Queqiao Meeting
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a clever and honest young man in Niujiazhuang, west of Nanyang. His parents died early, so he had to live with his brother and sister-in-law. His sister-in-law Ma Shi forced him to do a lot of work. One autumn, his sister-in-law forced him to herd cattle and gave him nine cows, but was told to wait until he had ten cows. Cowherd had no choice but to drive them out of the village.

Cowherd walked a long way and finally found the sick old cow. The old cow told him that he was a grey cow and a fairy in the sky, but he was banished to the sky because he broke his leg and could not move. His injury needs to be washed with toilet water for a month to be cured. Cowherd took good care of old Niu Yi for a month. After the old cow recovered, the cowherd happily drove ten cows home.

After returning home, my sister-in-law still treated him badly, and finally drove Cowherd out of the house. Cowherd only asked the old cow to go with him.

One day, the weaver girl in the sky played games with the fairies and took a bath in the river. With the help of the old cow, the cowherd got to know the Weaver Girl, and they hit it off. Later, the weaver girl secretly descended to earth and became the wife of the cowherd. This matter was soon known to the Emperor of Heaven, and the Queen Mother herself came down to earth and forcibly brought the Weaver Girl back to heaven, and the loving couple separated from each other.

Cowherd has no way to go. The old cow told the cowherd that after he died, he could make shoes out of his own skin and wear them to heaven. According to the old cow, the cowherd is about to catch up with him. With a wave of her hand, the Queen Mother pulled out the golden hairpin on her head, and a choppy Tianhe appeared. Cowherd and Weaver Girl were separated on both sides and could only cry bitterly. Their loyal love touched the magpies, and thousands of magpies flew to build a magpie bridge, where the cowherd and the weaver girl met. The Queen Mother has no choice but to allow them to meet on July 7th every year.
