Fairy Tales of Cowherd and Weaver Girl

Fairy tales of cowherd and weaver girl;

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 July 7th in Queqiao.

Their faithful love touched magpies, and countless magpies flew in and built a colorful bridge on the Tianhe River with their bodies, so that the cowherd and the Weaver Girl could meet on the Tianhe River.

Baotianman Funiu Mountain, Nanyang City, Henan Province, is an outstanding place. According to legend, Cowherd met and fell in love with Weaver Girl here under the guidance of a thousand-year-old cow, and lived a harmonious and sweet life from then on.

After they gave birth to two children, the Queen Mother flew into a rage when she learned that the Weaver Girl had come down to earth. She sent heavenly soldiers to catch the Weaver Girl, and the Cowherd burst into tears. The old cow asked the cowherd to wear psychic cowhide to chase, and the cowherd reluctantly did so, and then went to heaven to find the weaver girl.

In order to commemorate this thousand-year-old cow, the mountain where Cowherd once lived is called Funiu Mountain. In Lihe Township, Wancheng District, 20 miles south of Wancheng, there is a natural village called Niulangzhuang.

The villagers said that the legendary Cowherd was a native of their village, a young man named Sun Ruyi. Niulangzhuang excavated the stone tablet of the sacred cow tomb, and then built a statue of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the village, which was full of incense on the seventh day of July.
