The legend of July 7th?

The legend about July 7th is a beautiful love story, which has been passed down through the ages and become one of the four folk love legends in China. Legend has it that there is a Vega and an Altair in the sky. Weaver Girl and Penny are soul mates. But it is forbidden for men and women to fall in love and fall in love privately. The Weaver Girl is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother demoted Penny to the world and made the Weaver Girl Brocade as a punishment.

According to legend, on July 7th, magpies will fly to the sky to build a magpie bridge for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the Milky Way. It is said that on Tanabata night, lying under the grape trellis, you can still hear the lingering love words of the cowherd and the weaver girl. This is just a legend. According to this legend, on the night of July 7th, people will place melon and fruit snacks under the moon, which is a blessing for the annual reunion of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and the couple also wish their love will last forever.
