They are the Cowherd and Weaver Maid, and about them there is a beautiful love story passed down from generation to generation Altair Vega The romantic legend Long, long ago, there was an honest and kind hearted fellow named Niu Lang Cowherd. His parents died when he was a child.

But his cattle is a magic cattle,one day,the spoke. He spoke to niulang how to get a wife. At the same time, the youngest of the seven celestial princesses had grown tired of the privileged but secluded life in the heavenly palace. She longed for a mundane life she often saw down beneath her. That was a very pervert idea to cherish in heaven. Yet, determined to pursue what she deemed to be her own happiness, she sneaked out and descended onto the earth and to the sudden happiness of the Cowherd with whom she had secretly fallen in love all along in heaven. They married and had a lovely boy and a girl. While the Cowherd worked in the fields with his old pal the buffalo, the heavenly princess weaved at home to help support the family. Villagers all admired her excellent weaving skill and started learning from her. She was now well known as the Weaving Girl. Under the direction of the old cattle, Niu Lang meet Zhi Nu and soon fall in love with each other. Niu Lang farmed in the field and Zhi Nu wove at home. They lived a happy life and gave birth to a boy and a girl. Unfortunately, the God of Heaven soon found out the fact and ordered the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens to bring the Weaver Maid back. The family lived moderately but peacefully and happily until the girl‘s celestial（天上的） royal（皇室） family found her missing and traced her to the village. By the way, it is popularly believed that a day in heaven accounts for years on the earth. The years she had spent with the Cowherd was but a day or so by the celestial calendar. With the help of celestial cattle, Niu Lang flew to heaven with his son and daughter. At the time when he was about to catch up with his wife, the Queen Mother took off one of her gold hairpins and made a stroke. One billowy river appeared in front of Niu Lang . Niu Lang and Zhi Nu were separated on the two banks forever and could only feel their tears. The Celestial Empress was in such a wrath that she gave her daughter only two choices: to go back home or see her husband and children destroyed. She had no choice but to leave. The old buffalo suddenly began to speak to the bereaved and now astonished young man, saying that he was dying in no time and asking him to use his hide as a vehicle to catch up with his wife. And off he sailed to heaven taking his young son and daughter in two baskets carried by a shoulder pole. Fearing that the young man would catch up, the empress took out her hair spin and drew a big river across the sky, known to the Chinese as the Silvery River the Milky Way in the West. She wanted to separate the family forever However, all the magpies in the world, deeply touched by the story, came to their rescue. Each year, on the seventh day of the seventh month, they would flock together to form a bridge so that the family may enjoy a brief reunion. Their loyalty to love touched magpies, so tens of thousands of magpies came to build a bridge for the Niu Lang and Zhi Nu to meet each other. The Queen Mother was eventually moved and allowed them to meet each year on the 7th of the 7th lunar month. Hence their meeting date has been called Qi Xi Double Seventh.
