Where is the hometown of Cowherd and Weaver Girl?
In Yanyan Township, Yiyuan County, Shandong Province.

The Book of Songs Dadong in the Western Zhou Dynasty wrote: Where there is Han, there is light in prison. Three of the three, Vega, seven times a day. Even if the weaver girl is busy, she can't knit a stripe well. The morning glory is shiny, and the cart can't be pulled to load the box. There is a galaxy in the corner of the sky. If the river in the mirror finally has the light of Kong Ming, other people's weaver girls are brave. I went around seven times on a date. Although I can't spin cloth, I don't want to drive it away, even though I look at the sensible Petunia.

According to experts' investigation, Dadong is located in the east of Taishan, Linzi and Qufu, and its core location is Yanyan Township, Yiyuan County, Shandong Province today. As the core birthplace of the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Yanya Township has the only rare landscape in China with ancient architecture sites corresponding to real scenes and legends-the Weaver Girl Cave and the Cowherd Temple built in the Tang Dynasty.

Niulang Guanzhuang, a thousand-year-old village next to Niulang Temple in Yanya Township, has so far followed the custom of raising silkworms, weaving and taking double seven waters. There is a cave on the cliff of Linyi River at the foot of Daxian Mountain, called Zhinv Cave. Legend has it that the Queen Mother of the West imprisoned the Weaver Maid.

The story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl:

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was an orphan named Niu Lang who lived with his brother and sister-in-law. Sister-in-law treated him badly and gave him nine cows, but asked him to bring back ten, or he would never go back. When he was depressed, he got expert advice and found a sick old cow on the mountain. After careful care, he learned that the old cow was originally a Taurus star in the sky and was knocked down to the ground, so the cowherd took it home.

Later, under the guidance of the old cow, the cowherd found a place where the little fairies came to bathe and play, and picked up one of the clothes. The fairy's name is Weaver Girl. They met and fell in love, and later gave birth to twins. However, because of the violation of heaven, Weaver Girl was brought back to heaven. The old cow told the cowherd that he could make shoes out of leather after he died.

Later, the Cowherd finally went to heaven, and he was about to reunite with the Weaver Girl, but was blocked by the Milky Way, which was exchanged for the silver hairpin on the head of the Queen Mother. The magpies in the sky were moved by their love and became a "magpie bridge", and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were finally reunited. The queen mother was a little moved, and later ordered them to meet at Queqiao on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year.

After that, every year on Tanabata, Cowherd put two children in a basket and provoked them with a pole, and heaven reunited with Weaver Girl, which became a much-told story.

In the Japanese version, the marriage of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl was recognized by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. However, after they got married, they only cared about romance and forgot their work. The cowherd's cow ran away, and the quality of Weaver Girl's cloth declined. In order to stop them from being lazy, the Jade Emperor separated them and met them only once a year.

According to ancient records, people think that the Weaver Girl is smart, beautiful and versatile. On the evening of July 7th, she asked the Weaver Maid for wisdom. The Weaver Maid can get rid of her clumsiness and become smart and dexterous, so it is also called "Begging for Cleverness Festival". It is also called "Daughter's Day" because most people who take part in begging activities are boudoir women. Japanese women often get together in the courtyard, put on new clothes, worship two stars (namely Altair and Vega), offer incense tables, offer fruits, wear needles and throw colorful flowers, and engage in various begging activities.
