What kind of person is the cowherd who stole women's clothes in the original?

In the original version, the cowherd was an cowherd star in his previous life, and was banished to the mortal world because he fell in love with the Weaver Girl. Born into a peasant family after being demoted, he was named Cowherd.

He lived with his brother and sister-in-law because his parents died young. Sister-in-law is bitter and regards him as a thorn in his side. When he grew into a big boy, his brother and sister-in-law separated from him and gave him only an old cow and two acres of thin land.

From then on, he lived alone with the old cow and told her everything. I don't know, the old cow was a Taurus star from the sky and was demoted because he interceded for the Altair.

One day, the old cow spoke. He told the cowherd, "Some fairies will come to Bilianchi to take a bath today. Go there and hide that red skirt. In the future, the owner of that red fairy dress will be your wife. "

The cowherd was surprised to hear that the old cow could talk. However, he knew that the old cow was not an ordinary cow, so he did as the old cow said.

The owner of that red fairy dress is a weaver girl. When the Cowherd went to return the clothes to the Weaver Girl, the Weaver Girl recognized the Cowherd, but the Cowherd didn't recognize the Weaver Girl.

Later, the heavenly queen knew about it. Knowing that it was time, the Weaver Girl was sad to see these two lovely children.

Before he died, the old cow told the cowherd: After he died, let the cowherd skin him. You can put on his skin in an emergency.

When the heavenly soldiers came to catch the Weaver Girl, the Cowherd remembered the words of the old cow, so he provoked two children with two laundry baskets and put on the skin of the old cow. So the cowherd flew away.

It was almost time to catch up with the Weaver Girl, and the heavenly queen appeared. She took off the golden hairpin on her head and drew a line between the cowherd and the weaver girl.
