I couldn't write a single sentence all day and my tears fell like rain. The Milky Way is clear and shallow, and the distance between them is not much. Across the water, we are filled with love but cannot express it in words. Qixi Festival (Five Dynasties, Later Tang) Yang Pu <br /> I don’t know what Altair is thinking, so I must invite Weaver Girl to play with the golden shuttle. I beg for cleverness from the world every year, but I don’t know that there is already too much cleverness in the world. Qixi Festival (Tang Dynasty) Xu Ning <br /> A magpie bridge stretches across the distance, and the sounds of thousands of jade pendants ring. The separation still lasts for years, and my longing is not as great as the Hegu Star. The Fairy of Magpie Bridge (Song Dynasty) Qin Guan <br /> The thin clouds are playing tricks, the flying stars are conveying hatred, and the Milky Way is crossing in the dark. When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world. Tenderness is like water, good times are like a dream, I can’t help but look back at the Magpie Bridge on the way home! If the love between two people is long-lasting, why does it matter if they are together day and night? Qixi Festival in a Boat at Hanzhuang Sluice (Qing Dynasty) Yao Xie <br /> Mulan paddles in the lotus blossom village, and after singing in the red hall, the evening air becomes cool. Willows are outside the smoke, water is outside the lake, the mountain eyebrows are light green, and the moon eyebrows are yellow. Tanabata in other works"Novel" by Yin Yun of the Southern Liang DynastyOriginal novel: "The General Meaning of the Monthly Orders." "July Order" quotes "Novel" by Yin Yun of Liang Dynasty in Southern Dynasties: To the east of the Milky Way there is the Weaver Girl, the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven. She toils with her loom year after year, weaving cloud brocade clothes for the heavens, and has no time to take care of her appearance. The Emperor of Heaven took pity on her being alone and promised her to marry to the Cowherd from Hexi. After the marriage, she stopped weaving. The Emperor of Heaven was angry and ordered him to return to Hedong, but allowed them to meet once a year. On the seventh day of autumn, the magpies' heads all shaved for no reason. According to legend, on that day, Hegu and Zhinu met in the east of the Yellow River, and they used magpies as bridges for them to cross the river, so all the feathers were shaved off. Novel translation: To the east of the Milky Way lives the Weaver Girl, the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven (note: the Emperor of Heaven is not the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor is one of the Four Heavenly Emperors or Six Heavenly Emperors in Taoist beliefs, ranking below the Three Pure Ones. The Emperor of Heaven is the Emperor Jun or one of the Five Heavenly Emperors in ancient legends). She worked on the loom every year, weaving beautiful clothes, and had no time to dress up. The Emperor of Heaven felt sorry for her living alone, so he allowed her to marry the Cowherd on the west side of the Milky Way. After getting married, the Weaver Girl abandoned her weaving work. The Emperor of Heaven was furious and ordered her to return to the east side of the Milky Way, allowing them to meet only once a year. On the seventh day of autumn every year, we always see the top of the magpie's head suddenly become bald. According to legend, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met on the east bank of the Milky Way on that day, and they used magpies as a bridge to walk over their heads, so the hair on the magpies' heads was trampled bald. "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" (excerpt) (Northern and Southern Dynasties) Zong Yan <br /> To the east of the Milky Way, there is the Weaver Girl, the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven. We work hard every year to weave brocade clothes for the gods. The Emperor of Heaven took pity on her loneliness and promised her to marry to the Cowherd in Hexi. After she got married, she stopped weaving. The Emperor of Heaven was angry and ordered him to return to Hedong. Only on the night of July 7th every year do we cross the river. Drama "The Palace of Eternal Life" On the opera stage, the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl has been performed for a long time. It is worth mentioning that "Changsheng Dian", a masterpiece in the history of opera and a representative work of Hong Sheng's opera in the early Qing Dynasty, is closely related to the Qixi Festival. The title of the play comes from "The Palace of Eternal Life on the Seventh Day of July" in Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow". Not only that, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl run through the entire play and become important characters that drive the plot forward. Drama "The Love of the River" "Tianhe Pei" tells the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. "On July 7th, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet in the sky." In the old days, every year around the Chinese Valentine's Day, various theaters would compete to perform "Tianhe Pei", which has become a folk cultural activity during modern festivals. It is said that this play was written and performed in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. Master Mei Lanfang performed it at the Jixiang Tea Garden in 1921. The play included scenery such as the seven-piece puzzle, the lotus pond bathing, and the meeting at the magpie bridge. In the last scene, hundreds of birds flew out from under the magpie bridge, which became a popular story at the time. |
