Telling the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl Acacia
Don’t hate parting when you can’t meet each other.

One of the nineteen ancient poems
Han anonymous
Far away, Altair, Jiaojiao River Han female.
Touch your hands, and make the loom.
All day long, there is no chapter, and tears are like rain.
The river is clear and shallow, and there are many differences.
Between the water and the water, the pulse is speechless.

Don Meng Jiao
Vega by the river leads the cowherd by the river.
I haven’t crossed the shallow water, but I look at each other from a distance.
They,
Meaningful and deep,
At the end of the road, lovers will be short and long
Endless feelings of joy and sorrow.

Queqiaoxian Qixi
Fan Chengda in Southern Song Dynasty
Tonight is a good time for the Cowherd and Vega, and the couples who meet will be too lazy to be busy.
Lonely qunxian want to be jealous: beautiful moon sister Cu the bright eyebrow, aunt wind and wind blowing rain anomaly.
Meet in a hurry, the short gathering is so good as not to disappear, and jiao the parting sorrow.
The joy of meeting each other was not worth a long time of grief, but it added a new sorrow to taste.
Butterfly Lovers, Magpie Bridge, Driving a Phoenix
Yan Jidao in Northern Song Dynasty
The magpie bridge becomes a driving force.
It’s a night of joy, begging and the first cool night.
Ingenious double moth painting. The jade hook hangs obliquely next to the southwest.
Break the cymbals under the cool leaves.
Sweet sleeves by shoulders, who remembers the words at that time.
You can borrow the road across the milky way. Let’s leave hate in the world.
They,
Make excuses,
I confided my love for my loved ones.

A magpie bridge is vast, and a thousand sounds of Yu Pei pass Lingling.
There are still people who have been away for years, and it’s better to look down on the stars than to drum up the river.
Qixi Festival；Chinese Valentine’s Day
Don Lihe
The milky way is in the middle of the night.
The crow left for a thread of threading, and fireflies flew into the coat building.
The cow female double star close again, the world couple looks at the jade hook.
No Qiantang river, lonely, lonely autumn.
Hangxiangzi Qixi
Song Li Qingzhao
The grass is singing, and the phoenix tree is shocked. There is a deep sorrow in the sky.
Cloud terrace and moon land, locked up thousands of times.
If you come and go, don’t meet.
I haven’t seen you for years. Don’t hate being poor if you want to leave.
Petunia Weaver, it is nothing but separation.
Sometimes it’s sunny, sometimes it’s raining, sometimes it’s windy.
Fengqiwu Jiachen Tanabata
Wu Wenying in Southern Song Dynasty
I drove through the south branch and filled the courtyard.
Crescent west building, meet with needle and thread.
A few cicadas on a tall tree send you late. The dream of going home is broken in the setting sun.
The milky way is in love at night.
A light account steals pleasure, and a silver candle catches the screen.
The wind blows away the fog. The crane hook is empty with a spider silk coil.
And it,
Even more unique,
Achieved a song of eternal farewell.

Thin clouds are clever, flying stars spread hatred, and silver and Han people cross the river in secret.
On the seventh day of the autumn dew in the autumn, the meet meet, more than the world of those who are together, but the appearance husband and wife.
Tenderness is like water, ritual is like a dream, and you can take care of the bridge and go home!
If the two feelings are long-lasting, they are still in the morning and evening!

Exploring the Source of Tanabata
Tanabata
Excerpt from "Four Seasons Sketch"
Author: Zhu Wei
Back to the source, what exactly is the meaning of July 7th? Literally speaking, I think "July 7th" is a life cycle first.
at presentMany people are clamoring to turn Qixi into "Valentine’s Day in China". In fact, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were dragged to meet because of the July 7th meeting. Back to the source, what exactly is the meaning of July 7th? Now most scholars have recognized that seven is the number of life-the seventh day of the first month is a human day, so people have seven orifices, and Chinese medicine has seven injuries. After a person is born, his soul becomes seven hundred and forty-nine days, and it will take him seven hundred and forty-nine days to disperse after his death. Then why is it called "Chinese Valentine’s Day" when July 7th meets? "Evening" is evening, which can be extended to night. Is it because the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl want to meet at the Magpie Bridge at night?

Literally speaking, I think "July 7th" is a life cycle first. The statement in Huangdi Neijing, Su Wen, Ancient Naivety: "Men are only eight or eight, women are only seven or seven, and the essence of heaven and earth is exhausted." It says that men have a cycle of 8 years old and women have a cycle of 7 years old.
The 7-year-old woman was full of kidney qi, and her hair became longer when she changed her teeth.
On the 27 th day, the pulse is connected. Tiangui is the essence of kidney and the second pulse of ren du. According to traditional Chinese medicine, "it is a sea of yin and yang, with five qi and chastity", that is to say, menstruation will come on February 27 and children can be born.
The kidney qi of Panax notoginseng is average, and the final teeth are long and fully developed.
Four or seven bones and muscles are strong, hair is extremely long, and the body is strong and strong, reaching the apex.
On May 7th, Yangming’s pulse failed, his face became brown and his hair began to fall out.
Sixty-seven: "The pulse of Sanyang decays in the upper part, the face is burnt, and the hair begins to turn white".
July 7th is the end of a life cycle, that is, "any pulse is weak, the pulse is too strong, the sky is exhausted, and the tunnel is impassable, so the shape is bad and there is no child".
The number "seven" refers to the west, so the meeting of July 7th should be the birth in the end. Book of Changes: "Repeat the way, come back in seven days, and do the right thing." Kong Yingda Shu said, "After the sun’s yang disappeared, it was only seven days before the sun’s yang came back to life. This is the natural principle of heaven, so it is called heaven." "Coming back" means going back, that is, rebirth and reincarnation, so the soul is exhausted in 7749 days and full in 7749 days.
The original reproductive worship of Qixi, I thought it was based on this.

Petunia and Weaver Girl are originally the names of constellations. By the time of Nineteen Ancient Poems circulated by people in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the taste of two stars looking at each other stood out.
Look again.Cowherd and Weaver Girl.Cowherd was originally named Petunia, and Petunia and Weaver Girl were originally constellation names.According to Shi Ji Tian Guan Shu, Altair is a sacrifice, and Weaver Girl is also called "Tiannv Sun". The statement that the weaver girl just appeared in the Book of Songs Xiaoya Dadong is, "There is a Han in Wei Tian, and there is light in prison. Three of the three, Vega, seven times a day. Although seven essays are not a newspaper ". The word "dimension" here is an auxiliary word, which emphasizes that Tianhe is like a mirror, but there is light without shadow. "Gang" means that the Weaver Girl is composed of three stars, and her legs form a triangle, instead of standing on tiptoe and looking at it idly. "Seven Xiang" is "seven days in the last calendar", which is shifted seven times a day, that is, it comes back every seven days. Zheng Xuan said, "Xiang" is to control, and later generations fantasize, so it is understood as completion; "Not a newspaper" means "not a pattern". "Chapter" can actually be a pattern or a decree, and "newspaper" should also be "reciprocating".
Then it comes to Petunia: "Petunia is not to serve the box", "Petunia" means bright, "serving the box", and "serving" is also "driving". In ancient times, the horse in the middle of driving was called "serving" and "box" was a carriage. Contact the following two sentences: "There is enlightenment in the east and Chang Geng in the west. Save the day, carry the trip of giving ",is facing the starry sky, the constellation of Petunia and Weaver Girl is boundless from Yunhan, sighing that all is in vain under Skynet.At first, it emphasized the distance between the Tianhe River, but the relative appearance was really the basis for later embellishment.
In Nineteen Ancient Poems, which was circulated by people in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the taste of two stars looking at each other stood out: "Far away, Altair, Jiaojiao River, a Chinese woman. Fine hands, make a loom. All day long, there is no chapter, and tears are like rain. The river is clear and shallow, how much difference does it make? "There are plenty of water, and the pulse is speechless." First of all, show the morning glory in the far-reaching cold and misty place by the bright and clean elements that the Weaver Maid is waiting there. Here, the word "Guo" is simply understood as "Chu", but the word itself can be composed of "Xiu Xiu" and "Ying Ying", and then connect the slim and plain hands with it, so it has no flavor.It’s a long way away, but it’s just plain and clear in front of me, and this distance becomes sad.The last "unspeakable pulse" has left room for the affair.
At this time, the sorrow of the Weaver Girl not only became the subject of feeling, but also was endowed with identity.-or the daughter or granddaughter of the Queen Mother of the West. Why join the background of the Queen Mother of the West? Because according to legend, she gave birth to seven fairies. On the seventh day of July, she will come to earth. She is in charge of life and death in heaven and earth. Before the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl took shape, it was actually her who was greeted on Tanabata.

Meeting is the need of secular reproduction. I thought that the name "Qiqiao" was given later. Tanabata became a clever way for daughters to beg for needlework from weaver girls, and it became a part of three obedience and four virtues, and the taste changed completely.
So,When did "Petunia" become "Cowherd" and arranged for them to meet again? Meeting is the need of secular reproduction, which popularizes the meaning of the western queen mother. With regard to the life experience of the Weaver Girl, July in a Broad Sense of the Moon quotes Liang Yinyun’s Novel in the Southern Dynasties, and tells the story in detail: "To the east of the Tianhe River, there is the Weaver Girl and the son of the Emperor of Heaven. Every year, the loom labors, weaving into a brocade dress, and the appearance is too messy. The emperor pitied him for being alone, promised to marry a cowherd in Hexi, and then abandoned pregnancy after marriage. "The Emperor of Heaven was angry and ordered him to return to Hedong, but they met once a year.
The theory of Magpie Bridge first came from "Custom Pass": "The Weaver Maid should cross the river on Tanabata, making Magpie a bridge. "Legend has it that on the seventh day, the magpie’s head was upset for no reason, because Liang Yidu was a weaver girl. Customs Tong was written by Ying Shao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The original book has 32 volumes, but only 10 volumes exist today. This statement is also extremely tragic: "Qiu" is the punishment of shaving hair in ancient times. In order to bridge the river and let the weaver girl cross the river, the magpies have no hair on their heads.
△ July-Lunar July of the December Order Picture Axis published by Qing Academy.
How can magpies be built into a poetic magpie bridge? In the poem Tanabata written by Liang Yu Jianwu in the Southern Dynasties, there is a saying: "The jade box rolls up the clothes, and the needle floor opens the door at night. As the moon sets, the weaver girl moves from star to star. Leave the front to promote the night, and don’t be empty. "You can’t fly when you fill the river."
The first two sentences refer to the ladies-in-waiting who put the hanging clothes in the jade box and boarded the needle floor. According to Miscellanies of Xijing, "Han Cai women often put seven-hole needles on the open-top floor on July 7", which means "open-top floor" rather than "needle floor". What is a "seven-hole needle"? Today, there is no exam, but "seven holes" definitely means "seven orifices". Why is it a "penthouse"? From Xijing Miscellanies, it is just the name of the palace building, just like "Moon Shadow Platform" and "Ming Luan Dian". However, the connection with the "seven-hole needle" has a real reproductive meaning.
In this poem, it is said that the river is filled with "carved magpie", a kind of giant magpie. Zhuangzi Mountain Wood: "Zhuang traveled around the fan of carving tombs and saw a strange magpie coming from the south, with a wing seven feet wide and a large eye." This is not a warm magpie, and countless magpies have tried their best to drop all the hair on their heads and fill the river with tragic loss. Wu Meicun’s "Tanabata Feelings" poem: "There is always a jade capital in heaven and earth, and this year there is a clear distinction between cattle and women. Draw a picture of red powder, hate in the palace, and love in the sea. The green pearl in the south resigned from its master, and the yellow bird in the north sent it to the whole city. "I’d like to ask you about the carved magpie, a kind of galactic storm." The wind and waves caused by river filling are another kind of sadness.
I thought the name "Qiqiao" was given later. It changed "Kaijin Building" into "Needle Building" and extended to "Qiqiao Building". Tanabata became a clever way for daughters to beg for needlework from Weavers, and it became a part of "three obedience and four virtues", and the taste changed completely.
