From the historical records, at least three or four thousand years ago, with people's understanding of astronomy and the formation of textile technology, there were records about Altair Vega.
People's worship of stars is far more than Altair and Vega. In their view, there are seven stars in the east, west, north and south, which mean directions, collectively referred to as the 28 Nights, among which the Big Dipper is the most beautiful and can determine its position at night. The first star of the Big Dipper is called Kuixing, also known as the champion. After that, it had the imperial examination system, and the champion in the middle school was called "Dakui Tiandi Scholar". Intellectuals called Tanabata "Kuixing Festival", also known as "Book-drying Festival", which kept the trace of the worship of Tanabata from the beginning.
