What is the Magpie Bridge on Chinese Valentine’s Day?

Speaking of Chinese Valentine's Day, I believe many of my friends have heard of the Magpie Bridge, but not all of them know what the Magpie Bridge is. The so-called Magpie Bridge actually refers to a bridge built with magpies.
The origin of the Magpie Bridge is actually related to a folk story about the Chinese Valentine's Day. According to legend, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were separated by the Milky Way and were only allowed to meet on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year.
In order to allow the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet each other, magpies from all over the place would fly over and use their bodies to build a bridge, which was called the Magpie Bridge. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met on this Magpie Bridge.
That’s why the term “Magpie Bridge” came into being.
