Many people know the story of "immortal couple". Modern film and television works and stage plays have also presented various versions. The story is touching. Every time I am moved by the love of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, I am moved to tears. While appreciating the works, many viewers sometimes can't figure out the relationship between the characters, especially the Weaver Girl. Is she the seven fairies in heaven? What is her character in heaven? Today, let's talk about it together and help you answer.
In ancient myths and legends, the jade emperor in heaven easily had seven daughters. Now people refer to the seven fairies as the seven daughters of the Jade Emperor. They are all charming and smart. Seven fairies, ranked seventh, is Seven Sisters. In the novels of the Tang Dynasty, the fairy couple took the seven fairies and Yong Dong as the protagonists and had a beautiful and touching love story. According to legend, Yong Dong was born in a poor family, but he was filial to his parents and studied hard. After his father died, he had to sell himself into slavery because he had no money to be buried with him. The buyer went to work to earn money to bury his father.
On my way here, I met the seventh sister among the seven fairies who came to visit the Heavenly Palace. Seeing his honesty and filial piety, Qimei fell in love. Then, they married privately in the lower world for love, and they broke the dogma. Seven Sisters was taken back by the Heavenly Palace and punished. But Qi Mei is still unwilling to part with her husband. When the Queen Mother saw this scene, she relented and allowed them to meet once in the first month of July every year. So there was the well-known story that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl came to meet on July 7th.
The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl originated from folklore. Although it is forbidden for them to fall in love in private, they broke through many difficulties and had a happy ending. This kind of love is really great.
