Is Que Qiao Hui on Qixi a comedy or a sadness?

I think the "Queqiao Club" on Tanabata is more joyful than sad.

The story of the meeting of cowherd and weaver girl on Qixi Queqiao is widely circulated among the people.

? Once upon a time, there was a village where two brothers lived. They lived alone because their parents died young. Because they live in poverty, they usually farm and herd cattle, and sometimes they do short-term work for other families. Such a hard life, they can't go to school, but both brothers are strong and happy. My brother often goes to herd cattle, so others call him Cowherd. Day after day, year after year, the two brothers are almost grown up, Cowherd 16 years old.

? So my brother got married and Cowherd had a sister-in-law. At first, the family of three was fine, but it didn't last long. My sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter, and life is even worse. Whenever the cowherd wants to eat, let him go to work. Cowherd had probably eaten when he came back, but his sister-in-law left him nothing. After a long time, the cowherd has lost weight, but who can care about his grievances?

? One day, my sister-in-law told Cowherd's brother that when Cowherd grew up, he would get married one day and could not live in the cowshed. It is inevitable that he will not compete with his brother for a house and real estate. My brother thought for a moment, and thought that what his woman said was very reasonable, so he wanted to part with the cowherd. It was very late when the cowherd came back from mowing the grass. He didn't find anything to eat in the kitchen. After drinking a few mouthfuls of cold water, he came to the cowshed, lay in the haystack, and soon fell asleep. He is too tired. At midnight, the cow woke him up. He looked at the cow and felt that the closest "person" in the world was the cow. This old cow left by parents has lived for many years. Cowherd has been taking care of it since he was a child, going to the river together, going home together, sleeping in the cowshed, and his feelings are extremely deep. He said to the cow, "why don't you sleep?" Do you want to chat with me? " . The cow said, "Cowherd, no way. Your sister-in-law and your brother are separating from you? " The cowherd was at a loss when he saw the cow talking. "Don't be afraid," said the cow. "Thank you for your careful care in the past ten years. I did my best. When your brother and sister-in-law are separated from you, you can have nothing but me. "

?

The next day, as the old cow said, my brother and brother were going to part. I thought my brother would be obsessed with a lot of property, but as long as my brother got an old ox, my brother and sister-in-law thought it was a great bargain. After the separation, the cowherd and the ox really lived together. Day by day, winter goes to spring, and summer comes in a blink of an eye. One night, the cow spoke again: "Cowherd, do you want to marry a beautiful woman?" Cowherd was angry and laughing. He said, "Niu Ge, don't be ridiculous. You see, I am poor, I don't study, I look ordinary, and I have no relatives or friends. Whose daughter will marry me? " The old cow twisted her head and wagged her tail and said seriously, "I am repaying your kindness." As long as you do as I say, you can get a beautiful woman as your wife. " The cowherd looked at the cow and knew that he was serious about getting the fairy tale. Cowherd in the era of weak crown. As the old saying goes, which woman is not in love and which son wants to be single? Those days and nights, the cowherd looked forward to and worried.

? On this day, Cowherd rode an ox until he reached the water near Nantang, where there were abundant aquatic plants. The cow said to the cowherd, "There will be a group of women in Nantang at noon today. You should sneak past and never let them see you. When you see their clothes, you must' take' the pink ones back. " Cowherd felt really embarrassed to see women, but for the sake of beautiful girls, he strengthened his confidence and showed great courage. It was burning at noon, and the cowherd was familiar with it. Walking behind the grass, he heard the sound of women playing in the water. Looking through the grass, seven beautiful women are in the green pond, breezy and sparkling. It happened that all their clothes were hanging on the grass, and the pink one was closest to the cowherd. The cowherd took the clothes and quickly returned to the workhorse. ......

? It turns out that these seven beautiful girls, when the seven fairies came down from the sky, saw the waves rippling below and the green color was about to drip. I don't know who put forward the idea of going to earth, so everyone wants to see the beauty of others and experience how the clear water on earth is better than the clear water in the sky. Because one day in the sky and one year on the ground, time is really short for the sky, so they think it will not be discovered by the heavenly queen. The seven fairies had a good time in the water, watching the colorful Xiayi swaying in the wind on the shore. They really liked the world. I finally left because I was afraid of delaying my trip. They wrapped their clothes gracefully and flew away, one by one ... When the Seven Fairies arrived, they couldn't find their clothes. Her sisters have all flown away, and no one can help him. Just as he was in a hurry, the cowherd appeared. "Girl, are you looking for clothes?" Cowherd said. A gust of wind just blew a dress far away, and I found it. " It's a little strange that the Seven Fairys didn't say anything ... As soon as they saw the young Cowherd, she had a good impression and her strangeness was much less. The seventh fairy put on her clothes and thanked the cowherd. She should have left. Just as she turned to see Cowherd, Cowherd invited her to his house for a glass of water. Among the seven fairies, the seven fairies are the cleverest and most eager for human life. So she agreed. I really want to see life on earth!

?

By the time Cowherd came home, the family had been surrounded by four walls, which made the seven fairies feel sad for each other. Looking at the happy smile of the cowherd in front of me, I feel that life on earth is happier and more delicious than that in heaven. So they talked naturally, and Cowherd told her many stories about the world ... The seven fairies listened to the sad and happy stories about the world, which made them feel amazing and yearning. Her sympathy was touched, and she wanted to make Cowherd live a happier life. So they got married and lived a life of farming and weaving. On the earth, the seven fairies are called Weavers, because they are good at weaving all kinds of beautiful silks and satins. Cowherd is working in the field, and Weaver is weaving. . . They live a happy life. The weaver girl almost forgot her fairy identity. They have two children of their own, and the children have brought endless happiness to this family.

? However, it was discovered by the queen mother in the sky in a few days. On a happy day, one day the bull said to the cowherd, "My life has come to an end, so you don't have to be sad." After I die, I peel off my skin and bury the rest in the ground. Put on my skin in case of emergency. "Then he died. The cowherd didn't understand what the cow said, but he did as the cow said. After all, the Queen Mother came, and the Weaver Girl refused no matter how she begged. Only Cowherd knows that this girl is the Seven Fairys. The child cried for his mother, but the tears of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl stayed and never touched the queen mother's heart again. Just as the Cowherd returned to the house, the Queen Mother grabbed the Weaver Girl and flew away. Cowherd is anxious like a cat on hot bricks. Neither he nor the children want to lose her. This is his view of cattle. So he found a shoulder pole and two laundry baskets, and let the children sit in the two laundry baskets and wrap them in cowhide. He immediately took off and caught up with the Weaver Girl. On the verge of catching up, the Weaver Girl kept twisting her head and didn't want to go. The Queen Mother tore off the hair clasp on her head and drew a Tianhe River, so the Cowherd couldn't cross.

The Cowherd didn't come back until the Weaver Girl was out of sight. Many immortals in the sky felt this and prayed for the seven fairies. Later, the Queen Mother felt that she was asking too much, so she made a rule: If the magpie can build a bridge for them on July 7, the day when the Weaver Girl leaves, they can meet. Magpies are also spiritual birds. On the seventh day of July, they fly into the sky in groups. Seen from a distance, there is a bridge in the bright Tianhe River. On the other side of the bridge, there is a girl with a weaving shuttle in her hand. Cowherd put on cowhide, provoked children, and went to dinner under the leadership of magpie. On this day, they can finally meet. Later, the Tianhe River became the Milky Way, the Cowherd became the Cowherd, the Weaver Girl became the Weaver Girl, and that bridge was the Magpie Bridge, and the Magpie also became the good news bird. This is a legend about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl that I grew up with.

On July 7th, "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" met on the bridge, which became a festival symbolizing love. It was regarded as the most romantic traditional festival in China, and even produced the cultural meaning of "China Valentine's Day" in contemporary times.
