Legends about the stars

There are too many legends about stars. I write slowly, you read slowly:

A long time ago, there were no stars and moons in the night sky, and it was impossible to know when. When the sun disappeared from the horizon, the whole world was shrouded in darkness.

In a faraway place, there is a small mountain village, and there is a family far away from the village. There was a little boy who only lived with his father. The little boy hasn't seen his mother, but he hasn't asked. Only his parents take care of him.

Every day, at the moment when the sun rises on this side of the mountain, my father leaves home and works hard for a living until the sun sets on the other side of the mountain. The little boy always sits on the threshold waiting for his father's return. Little boys are often afraid, which stems from their natural fear of the dark. When there is a strange sound coming from the mountain, the little boy will tremble all over. What scares him even more is that his father will disappear in the dark and never come back. The little boy always cries while waiting. When my father came back, he was a cry baby. My dad would pick him up and kiss him on the face with scum. "My child, why are you crying like this?" The little boy said nothing. He was afraid to tell his father that he was really not coming back. The little boy rested his head on his father's chest and fell asleep peacefully. What a beautiful child, why are there always tears? Father felt a little guilty.

The little boy spent day after day in the surprise of anxious waiting and decent return. But unfortunately it happened. That night, it seemed darker than usual, and there was a cold wind blowing. As usual, the little boy is waiting for his father to come back. But my father hasn't come back for a long time. The little boy almost fell asleep in a low whimper. The moment he woke up, the little boy couldn't control himself any longer and burst into tears. Maybe it was because he was too sad, too scared, or because he was too focused on crying, he didn't find his tears shining. Tears ran down his face, fell to the ground and splashed down. The puddles accumulated on the ground and the small tears splashed around them all shone brightly and flew into the night sky. The night suddenly became clear. The pool accumulated on the ground became the moon, and the tears splashed everywhere became stars. In the dark, the outline of the earth, the appearance of mountains, tall trees, and the winding path home appeared.

It turned out to be night, and my father got lost in the mountains. After the night suddenly became clear, he finally found his way home. The little boy hugged his father tightly and fell asleep quietly on his chest again.

Since then, I have seen the stars and the moon in the dark, so that all people in the dark can find their way home.

Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

On Tanabata, they meet once a year and are regarded as a symbol of love by affectionate children. Their love tragedy left a deep impression on everyone in China. So every Tanabata night, many lovers will pray for eternal love in the starry night sky.

There are many versions of the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. The most widely known thing is that it is said that Cowherd's parents died young and were often abused by his elder sister-in-law, only accompanied by an old cow. One day, the old cow gave him a plan to marry the weaver girl. On that day, the beautiful fairies did bathe in the Milky Way and play in the water. Then the cowherd, hiding in the reeds, suddenly ran out and took the clothes of the Weaver Girl. The panicked fairies hurried ashore, dressed and flew away, leaving only the weaver girl. At Cowherd's request, Weaver Girl agreed to be his wife. After marriage, the cowherd and the weaver girl loved each other and lived a very happy life. Weaver girl also gave birth to a son and a daughter to Cowherd. Later, when the old cow was dying, she told the cowherd to keep its skin and put it on for help when it was in trouble. After the old cow died, the couple reluctantly peeled off the cowhide and buried the cow on the hillside.

When the marriage between the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd was known by the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Queen Mother, they flew into a rage and ordered the gods to take the Weaver Girl back. When the Cowherd was away, the gods took the Weaver Girl. Cowherd didn't see Weaver when he came home, so he quickly put on cowhide and chased after him with two children. On the verge of catching up, the queen mother was in a hurry, tore off the golden hairpin on her head and rowed to the Milky Way. The once shallow Milky Way suddenly turned into a raging sea, and the Cowherd couldn't cross it any more. Since then, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can only look at each other across the river with tears, forever and ever, and the Jade Emperor and the Empress Dowager can't resist their sincere feelings, allowing them to meet once every July 7th. According to legend, every year on July 7th, the favorite birds on earth will fly to the sky to meet the cowherd and the weaver girl in the Milky Way. In addition, in the dead of night on Tanabata, people can also hear the love story of cowherd and weaver girl in the sky under the grape trellis or other fruit trellis.
