"Jingchu's Chronicles" says: "To the east of the Tianhe River there is a weaver girl, the son of the Emperor of Heaven, who weaves wood every year. After working hard, he weaved cloud brocade and heavenly clothes. The Emperor of Heaven mourned his solitude and betrothed him to the Cowherd of Hexi Province. After getting married, he gave up the weaving and cooking. The Emperor of Heaven was angry and ordered him to return to the east of the river. He could only cross the river for a while on the night of July 7th every year. The folklore is very similar.
According to legend, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were originally stars in the sky. The Cowherd herded cattle and the Weaver Girl weaved cloth. The two were conscientious and hard-working, and they were deeply loved by the Jade Emperor. So, the Jade Emperor granted marriage to the two of them and made them husband and wife. But unexpectedly, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl became so inseparable after their marriage that they gave up their jobs. In anger, the Jade Emperor ordered Wu Que to pass a decree that they could only meet once every seven days.
Volume 31 of "Taiping Yulan" quotes "Weishu" as saying: "The Altair star in Jingzhou is called the River Drum, and it controls Guanliang; the Vega stars, it controls melons and fruits. The Taoist Book says: 'Qian Niu married Weaver Girl, and borrowed 20,000 yuan from the Emperor of Heaven to prepare a gift, but did not pay it back for a long time, so he was driven to Jianshi. '" The article says that when Niu Niu married Weaver Girl, he borrowed 20,000 yuan from the Emperor of Heaven, but he did not pay it back for a long time. Giving money to the Emperor of Heaven led to the separation of the two people.
Legend has it that the Weaver Girl is a god and the Cowherd is a mortal. Once, the Weaver Girl was playing in the human world, and after splashing in the lake, her clothes were picked up by the Cowherd passing by. The two fell in love at first sight, got married, and gave birth to a boy and a girl. However, love between humans and gods is against the laws of heaven. The Jade Emperor ordered the Weaver Girl to leave the Cowherd.
After seeing his wife being taken away, the Cowherd immediately picked up a pair of baskets with a pole, put a pair of children into the baskets, and went to chase the Weaver Girl. When he was about to catch up, a big river suddenly stood in front of him. This was the Milky Way drawn by the Queen Mother. Seeing their sincere relationship, the Queen Mother made an exception and allowed them to meet once a year on Chinese Valentine's Day.
