According to the experience of searching Baidu, Cowherd and Weaver Girl is a famous folk love story of the ancient Han nationality in China, and it is also one of the four major folklore in China, which comes from the star names of Cowherd and Vega. "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" originated from people's worship of natural phenomena and later developed into Valentine's Day in China. Every festival, ancient women would make a wish to Vega and Altair in the sky, hoping that they would have a wise mind, dexterous hands and a beautiful marriage.
The earliest record of Cowherd and Weaver Girl in China ancient books is Xiao Ya Dadong in The Book of Songs, but it is only said that Weaver Girl and Petunia are two similar stars in Tianhe, and there is no connection between them. It was not until the Han Dynasty that these two stars were converted into concrete numbers. Ban Gu said in "Two Capitals Fu": "Facing Kunming Pool, cows are led on the left and girls are woven on the right, which is like a vast cloud." It means that there are two stone statues of Petunia and Weaver Girl by the pool in Kunming, Han Palace. The earliest literary work that recorded Cowherd and Weaver Girl were husband and wife was Selected Poems of Luoshen. The article said: "The Cowherd is the husband, the Weaver Girl is the woman, and the Weaver Girl is the star of the Cowherd. It will take some time on July 7. " From this perspective, the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is not original, but gradually understood by the ancients.
