七夕节节日故事

　　农历“七夕”，俗谓“中国情人节”——牛郎织女的美丽传说即与七夕密切相关。宋人秦观词云：“纤云弄巧，飞星传恨，银汉迢迢暗渡。……两情若是久长时，又岂在朝朝暮暮。”千载以降，这凄婉的词句与天河中的牵牛织女双星一起在人们的心头闪耀——

　　超越时空的美丽传说

　　牛郎和织女的故事经过两千多年的流传、发展、演变，有各种不同的版本，主要情节是：

　　天上王母娘娘的孙女织女，其工作是在天上织云彩，也称云锦天衣;牛郎是人间的放牛郎，父母早亡，受兄嫂虐待，每天和一头老牛在一起生活，日子过得很苦。

　　有一天，老牛告诉他，天上织女要和她的姐妹到银河洗澡，叫他去“偷取”织女的羽衣，这样没有了羽衣，织女就不能飞回天上了，就会做他的妻子。

　　到了那一天，美丽的仙女们果然到银河沐浴，并在水中嬉戏。这时藏在芦苇中的牛郎突然跑出来拿走了织女的衣裳。惊惶失措的'仙女们急忙上岸穿好衣裳飞走了，唯独剩下织女。

　　在牛郎的恳求下，织女答应做他的妻子。

　　婚后，牛郎织女男耕女织，相亲相爱，生活得十分幸福美满。织女还给牛郎生了一儿一女。

　　后来，老牛要死去的时候，叮嘱牛郎要把它的皮留下来，到急难时披上就会得到帮助。老牛死后，夫妻俩忍痛剥下牛皮，把牛埋在山坡上。

　　后来有一天，王母娘娘听说织女“不守天规”，“私奔”凡间，大为恼怒，就派天兵天将捉拿织女。

　　天神趁牛郎不在家的时候，抓走了织女。

　　牛郎回家不见织女，想起老牛告诉他急难时披上牛皮会得到帮助的话，急忙披上牛皮，担了两个小孩追了出去，牛郎也飞到了天上。

　　就在牛郎要追上织女的关键时刻，王母娘娘拔下头簪，在织女身后一划，那划痕就成了波涛汹涌的天河。牛郎再也过不去了。

　　从此两人只能隔河相望，日夜泣啼。现在牛郎星旁的两颗小星，称扁担星，人们说那是牛郎织女的一对儿女。最后，牛郎织女的真情感动了天上的喜鹊，它们每到七月七日就拔下自己美丽的羽毛，架成一道彩虹桥，让这对相思一年的夫妇在这一夜相会。

　　此外，七夕夜深人静之时，人们还能在葡萄架或其他的瓜果架下听到牛郎织女在天上的脉脉情话。

　　Chinese Valentines Day --- Qixi

　　On the evening of the seventh day of the seventh month in the Chinese lunar calendar, don’t forget to look carefully at the summer sky. In the Western calendar, that falls on August 26 this year. You’ll find the Cowherd (a bright star in the constellation Aquila, west of the Milky Way) and the Weaving Maid (the star Vega, east of the Milky Way) appear closer together than at any other time of the year.

　　The Chinese believe the stars are lovers who are permitted to meet by the Queen of Heaven once a year. That day is also called the “double seventh” (Qixi in Chinese), and it is the only Chinese festival devoted to love in the lunar calendar. In modern times, it has been called China’s own Valentine’s Day.

　　The legend holds that an orphaned cowherd was mistreated by his elder brother and sister-in-law, who eventually gave him an old ox and chased him out. The cowherd worked hard, and after only a couple of years he owned a small farm and house. But he was lonely, with only the company of his faithful old ox.

　　One day the ox suddenly opened its mouth and talked, telling the cowherd that the heavenly Weaving Maid and her sisters were going to bathe in river. The Weaving Maid was said to be the youngest of the seven daughters of the Queen of Heaven. With her sisters, she worked hard to weave beautiful clouds in the sky.

　　The ox told the cowherd that he should go there to rob the Weaving Maid of her clothes while she was in the water. In exchange for the return of her clothes, she would become his wife. Surprised, the cowherd willingly followed the ox’s instructions and hid himself in the reeds at the riverbank, waiting for the girls to bathe.

　　The girls came, and as they were splashing about, the cowherd rushed out of the reeds and grabbed the Weaving Maid’s clothing. In panic, the sisters dashed to their clothes, hurriedly put them on, and ran away.

　　The Weaving Maid, deprived of her clothes, stood on the riverbank and tried to cover herself with her hair. The cowherd told her that he would not return her clothes unless she promised to be his wife. After a little hesitation, she agreed to his request and they married.

　　The cowherd and the Weaving Maid lived happily together and had two children before the Queen of Heaven discovered the Weaving Maid’s absence. She was so annoyed that she had the Weaving Maid brought back to heaven.

　　Seeing his beloved wife flying back to the sky, the cowherd was terrified and sad. He caught sight of the cowhide hanging on a wall. The magical ox had told him before dying of old age, “Keep the cowhide for emergency use.”

　　Putting the cowhide on, the cowherd, with his two children, went after his wife. With the help of the cowhide, the cowherd was able to follow the Weaving Maid into heaven. He was about to reach his wife when the Queen showed up and pulled off her hairpin to draw a line between the two. The line became the Silver River in heaven, or the Milky Way.

　　The Weaving Maid went back to the heavenly workshop, going on weaving the clouds. But she was so sad and missed her husband across the Silver River so much that the clouds she weaved seemed sad. Finally, the Queen showed some mercy and allowed the couple to meet once every year on the Silver River on the double seventh.

　　Magpies were moved by their true love and many of them gathered to form a bridge over the Silver River for the couple to meet on the evening of Qixi.

　　It’s said that it’s hard to find a magpie at that time in China, because all magpies fly to make the bridge for the Weaving Maid and the cowherd. And if it rains heavily on Qixi night, some elderly Chinese will say it is because the Weaving Maid is crying from happiness over meeting her husband on the Milky Way.
