The love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on the Chinese Valentine’s Day!

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was an orphan named Niulang in Niujiazhuang, west of Nanyang City. He lived with his brother and sister-in-law. His sister-in-law was not kind to him. She gave him nine cows and asked him to bring back ten, otherwise he would never go back.
When he was depressed, he got advice from an expert and found a sick old ox in Funiu Mountain. He took good care of it and found out that the old ox was actually the Taurus star from the sky that was sent down to the earth. Cowherd successfully brought it home.
Later, under the guidance of the old cow, Cowherd found the place where the fairies came down to earth to bathe and play, and picked up the clothes of one of them. The fairy's name was Weaver Girl. The two met, fell in love, and later gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
But because she violated the rules of heaven, the Weaver Girl was taken back to heaven. The old cow told the cowherd that after its death, his skin could be made into shoes and he could fly into the clouds when he got out of the water.
Later, Niulang finally ascended to heaven and was about to reunite with Zhinu, but was blocked by the Milky Way, which was transformed from the silver hairpin on the head of the Queen Mother.
The magpies in the sky were moved by their love and turned into a "Magpie Bridge", and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were finally reunited.
The Queen Mother was somewhat moved, and later ordered that the two could meet at the Magpie Bridge on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year.
After that, every year on the Chinese Valentine's Day, the Cowherd would put the two children on a carrying pole and go to heaven to reunite with the Weaver Girl.

Tanabata Festival in Japan

Influenced by Chinese culture, the Japanese also have the tradition of celebrating the Tanabata Festival, which they call the "Tanabata Festival." Japan's "Tanabata Festival" originated in China and is said to have been introduced during the Nara period.
From the middle of the Nara period, the Japanese court and upper class society imitated the Tang Palace, and the Tanabata Festival, needlework and Tanabata poetry gatherings became popular. The customs and habits of "begging for skills" have been continued, but have nothing to do with love.
The Tanabata Festival was originally on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan abolished the lunar calendar, so the Tanabata Festival in Japan is on the seventh day of the seventh month of the solar calendar every year.
The Japanese Tanabata Festival is not mainly used to pray for love, but to pray that girls can have good skills. At this time of year, adults and children gather together to write down their wishes and poems on long, colorful pieces of paper and hang them on small bamboo trees in their yards along with paper decorations. This custom started in the Edo period. As the Chinese Valentine's Day approaches, there will be Chinese Valentine's Day bamboo trees in many places. In stores selling summer clothes and in supermarkets where people check out, there will be Chinese Valentine's Day wishing trees.
At some large-scale celebration ceremonies, a bamboo decoration (evolved from hanging wish sticks) competition is held, where local kindergartens, primary schools and other school organizations or companies create their own bamboo decorations, which are then evaluated and the most distinctive ones are selected for display. In addition, the annual "Tanabata Festival" is held every summer in various parts of Japan. People wear traditional costumes, sing and dance, taiko drums beat, and "tansho" flutter in the streets and alleys, and are crowded with adults and children watching and playing. In conjunction with the Tanabata Festival, there is also a fireworks display every summer.
