The Myth of Vega and Altair The reason why Vega and Altair are household names in China actually stems from a fairy tale. Legend has it that the granddaughter Weaver of the ancient Emperor of Heaven is very good at weaving, weaving rosy clouds for the sky every day. She hated this boring life, so she secretly went down to earth, married a cowherd in Hexi privately, and lived a life of farming and weaving. This angered the Emperor of Heaven, took the Weaver Girl back to the Heavenly Palace, and ordered them to separate, allowing them to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Their unswerving love touched magpies, and countless magpies flew in and built a magpie bridge across the Tianhe River with their bodies, so that the cowherd and the weaver girl met on the Tianhe River, which was later the Milky Way.
