The Qixi Cowherd and Queqiao Club is a famous folk love story in ancient China. Legend has it that Cowherd is an orphan, with no house or land. Cowherd is very kind. He lives alone with the only sick old cow. In fact, it is said that a long time ago, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl both lived in the sky and were gods. Later, the two met and fell in love in the sky. This incident was discovered by the weaver girl's mother, the Queen Mother, who thought that they had violated the dogma and cared for their daughter, so they beat the cowherd out of the water and made it miserable.
Suddenly one day, the cow spoke. It told the Cowherd that the Weaver Girl and other fairies were going to take a bath in the river and asked him to take the Weaver Girl's heavenly clothes away and hide them. When the weaver girl was looking for clothes, she returned them to her and proposed to her. The cowherd did so and married the Weaver Girl. The Weaver Girl is the youngest daughter of the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Queen Mother. She has been knitting brocade for many years. Since she married Cowherd, she has stopped brocade and never returned to heaven. She lives a life of farming and weaving with cowherd on the earth.
This angered the Emperor of Heaven, sent heavenly soldiers and generals to the mortal world, took the Weaver Maid back to heaven, kept it under strict supervision, and ordered the Cowherd and Weaver Maid to separate. Looking at the departure of the Weaver Girl, the Cowherd is heartbroken, and looking at a pair of immature children in his arms, the Cowherd is heartbroken. At this time, the ox pointed to its faded cowhide and said, put on your children with those two heavy cages in front of you, pat my skin and chase the weaver girl. Then the cow closed her eyes and died.
Cowherd provoked a pair of children, patted cowhide, ran forward as light as a swallow, and flew all the way to the Weaver Girl. In heaven, the Queen Mother looked down on the worse gate, and the Cowherd chased after the Weaver Girl. The Weaver Girl also deliberately delayed waiting for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, so she pulled out the phoenix hairpin on her head and rowed the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and a Tianhe water wave rolled, thus separating the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on both sides of the Tianhe River.
The Weaver Girl begged her father, Emperor Tiandi, and her mother, the Queen Mother. God's poor daughter is only allowed to meet on the Tianhe River on July 7th every year, commonly known as "Tanabata". The faithful love of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl touched the magpie. Countless magpies fly into the sky on the night of Tanabata every year, and use their bodies to build a colorful bridge on the Tianhe River, called the Magpie Bridge, so that cowherd and weaver girl can meet on the Tianhe River.
Cowherd and Weaver Girl are a sad couple, but they turn long-distance love into an eternal myth. Love in the world is long or short, long or short. On-off and on-off are impermanent, and you come and I go. Only the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, although separated by the Milky Way, you wait. This is an ancient custom. On this night, girls in China have to put on needles to beg for wisdom.
To this end, I am sure that the answer to the Cowherd's Qixi Queqiao Club is cattle.
