這個節(jié)日是在盛夏，當天氣暖和、草地和樹木茂盛，滿山果樹。晚上，當天空被星星點綴的時候，人們可以看到銀河系橫跨南北。在銀河的兩岸有兩顆璀璨的星星，他們可以看到彼此。他們是牛郎和織女，有一個美麗的愛情故事代代相傳……2021/5/913STORYLong,longago,therewasanhonestandkind-heartedfellownamedNiuLang(Cowhand).Hisparentsdiedwhenhewasachild.Laterhewasdrivenoutofhishomebyhissister-in-law.Sohelivedbyhimselfherdingcattleandfarming.Oneday,afairyfromheavenZhiNv(WeaverMaid)fellinlovewithhimandcamedownsecretlytoearthandmarriedhim.ThecowhandfarmedinthefieldandtheWeaverMaidwoveathome.Theylivedahappylifeandgavebirthtoaboyandagirl.Unfortunately,theGodofHeavensoonfoundoutthefactandorderedtheQueenMotheroftheWesternHeavenstobringtheWeaverMaidback.Withthehelpofcelestialcattle,theCowhandflewtoheavenwithhissonanddaughter.Atthetimewhenhewasabouttocatchupwithhiswife,theQueenMothertookoffoneofhergoldhairpinsandmadeastroke.OnebillowyriverappearedinfrontoftheCowhand.TheCowhandandWeaverMaidwereseparatedonthetwobanksforeverandcouldonlyfeeltheirtears.Theirloyaltytolovetouchedmagpies,sotensofthousandsofmagpiescametobuildabridgefortheCowhandandWeaverMaidtomeeteachother.TheQueenMotherwaseventuallymovedandallowedthemtomeeteachyearonthe7thofthe7thlunarmonth.Hencetheirmeetingdatehasbeencalled"QiXi"(DoubleSeventh).2021/5/914相傳牛郎父母早逝，又常受到哥嫂的虐待，只有一頭老牛相伴。有一天老牛給他出了計謀，教他怎樣娶織女做妻子。到了那一天，美麗的仙女們果然到銀河沐浴，并在水中嬉戲。這時藏在蘆葦中的牛郎突然跑出來拿走了織女的衣裳。驚惶失措的仙女們急忙上岸穿好衣裳飛走了，唯獨剩下織女。在牛郎的懇求下，織女答應(yīng)做他的妻子?；楹?，牛郎織女男耕女織，相親相愛，生活得十分幸福美滿?？椗€給牛郎生了一兒一女。后來，老牛要死去的時候，叮囑牛郎要把它的皮留下來，到急難時披上以求幫助。老牛死后，夫妻倆忍痛剝下牛皮，把牛埋在山坡上。2021/5/915織女和牛郎成親的事被天庭的玉帝和王母娘娘知道后，他們勃然大怒，并命令天神下界抓回織女。天神趁牛郎不在家的時候，抓走了織女。牛郎回家不見織女，急忙披上牛皮，擔(dān)了兩個小孩追去。眼看就要追上，王母娘娘心中一急，拔下頭上的金簪向銀河一劃，昔日清淺的銀河一霎間變得濁浪滔天，牛郎再也過不去了。從此，牛郎織女只能淚眼盈盈，隔河相望，天長地久，玉皇大帝和王母娘娘也拗不過他們之間的真摯情感，準許他們每年七月七日相會一次，相傳，每逢七月初七，人間的喜鵲就要飛上天去，在銀河為牛郎織女搭鵲橋相會。此外，七夕夜深人靜之時，人們還能在葡萄架或其他的瓜果架下聽到牛郎織女在天上的脈脈情話。2021/5/916Mid-AutumnFestival（中秋節(jié)）
