In ancient times, there was a small village called Zhiyun Village, and the village was inhabited by a beautiful and hard-working girl named Zhinu. She is ingenious and good at weaving, and weaves the most beautiful cloud brocade at home every day. Her cloth is colorful and delicately patterned, and every inch is imbued with life and spirituality.
Outside the village, there lives a young man named Cowherd. He is industrious, kind, and powerful, working in the fields every day, guarding the family's old cows. The cowherd's cow is a sacred cow that not only helps the cowherd plough the fields, but also has magical powers.
One day, the Weaver Girl was weaving by the river, and the Cowherd happened to pass by. He was fascinated by the beauty and talent of the Weaver Girl, who also had a deep respect for the kindness and hard work of the Cowherd. The two have feelings for each other, but they dare not express it because of their identity differences.
However, the power of love is powerful. The Weaver Girl and the Cowherd decided to meet secretly, and they met on the seventh day of the seventh month of every month, hiding under the vines by the Milky Way. The old cow was the messenger between them, delivering the Weaver Girl's cloth to the Cowherd and telling him when and where he could meet the Weaver Girl.
Their love story spreads in the village, but it is opposed by the heavenly court. Heavenly Court believes that the Weaver Girl is the incarnation of the Heavenly Weaver Girl and cannot love mortals. So, the heavenly soldiers and generals went down to arrest the Weaver Girl and returned to heaven.
At the last meeting, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl hugged each other tightly and did not want to be separated. In order to protect them, Lao Niu used all his strength to block the heavenly soldiers and generals. But in the end, the Weaver Girl was brought back to Heaven.
The Cowherd lost the Weaver Girl, and his heart was like a knife. He decides to embark on a journey to find the Weaver Girl. The old cow told him that only by finding the four-leaf clover could he open the door to heaven. So, the Cowherd began a long journey of searching.
After countless hardships and tribulations, the Cowherd finally found the four-leaf clover. He took the four-leaf clover to Heaven and asked to see the Weaver Girl. The Emperor of Heaven was touched by their love and agreed to let them meet.
However, the time to see each other is only for a moment. Every year on the seventh day of the seventh month, the Weaver Girl will go down to meet the Cowherd, and at other times she must return to Heaven. However, their love was continued because of this moment of meeting.
Although they can't stay together, their story has become a good story among the people. It is believed that as long as there is love in the heart, even in the face of great difficulties and obstacles, the strength of love can be found. And every year on the seventh day of the seventh month, there will be a loving couple meeting on the Milky Way, that is, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
