Queqiaoxian
(Song) Qin Guan
Thin clouds are clever, flying stars spread grievances, and yinhan sneaked into Chen Cang.

If the relationship between two people is long-lasting, it is still a matter of time!
Li Bai imitated twelve ancient poems, and the stars were like white stones. Huang Gu and Weaver Girl are not far apart. There is no magpie bridge in the Milky Way, and it will be very comfortable when it is not. The boudoir cares about Jiangsu and Anhui, and the wanderer mourns the service.

3, Tanabata tonight to see Bixiao, Petunia Weaver across the bridge. Every family watches the autumn moon, and every family wears HongLing. -From the Tang Dynasty: Lin Jie's "Begging for Cleverness"
Explained in vernacular Chinese: Looking at the blue sky on Tanabata night is like seeing a cowherd and a weaver girl meet on a magpie bridge across the Tianhe River. Every household is looking at the autumn moon while trying to be clever (threading a needle on the moon), and there are tens of thousands of red lines that pass through it.

Interpretation in vernacular Chinese: Maybe the bridge of the magpie has not been built yet, maybe the cowherd and the weaver girl have not been able to get together in parting. I guess the black magpie has built the bridge of the stars by this time, but the cowherd and the weaver girl have not come together yet, and the weather is unpredictable and the wind and rain suddenly rise. Is the meeting between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl blocked again?

Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: the light from the silver candlestick illuminates the painting screen and sits quietly in the pavilion on a sunny night. Women thread spider silk through embroidery needles, dragons and musk burn in the golden tripod, and people are celebrating Chinese Valentine's Day on earth. They lay watching the morning glory and Vega meet at the Magpie Bridge, and the moon floated across the buttonwood and cast a reflection.

Song Dynasty: Li Qingzhao
The grass is singing. Stunned by the phoenix tree. There is a deep sorrow on earth and in the sky. Yuntai moon and earth, locked a thousand times. You come and I go, don't meet.
I haven't seen you for years, but I want to leave my feelings and don't hate being poor. Penny Weaver, this is just separation. Sometimes it's sunny, sometimes it rains, sometimes it's windy.
Translation:
Crickets in the grass kept chirping, and the buttonwood leaves on the top seemed to be startled by the chirping. From the scene in front of us, it is associated with the sad season on earth and in the sky. In the starry sky on the moon bank in the cloud world, the cowherd and the weaver girl are blocked by thousands of locks and have no chance to meet each other. We can only meet briefly once a year, and the rest of the time is like a floating river in the vast milky way, swimming around, unable to meet or get together.
Magpies can only meet once a year. Maybe Penny and Weaver didn't get together when they broke up. I guess at this time, the black magpie has built the Star Bridge, but the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl have not met yet. Look at the unpredictable weather, wind and rain. Isn't the meeting between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl blocked again?

8. Poems about Altair and Vega, indicating the poem "Autumn Night" by the author and Du Mu.
In the autumn night, candlelight reflected the screen, and Fan slapped the fireflies with his hand. The stone steps at night are as cold as cold water, sitting and staring at the cowherd and the weaver girl.
There is a poem in The Book of Songs Xiaoya:
"Or with its wine, don't recognize its pulp; I don't know what I am.
Wei Tian has Han, Jian' an has light; The weaver girl falls down seven times a day.
Although it is seven, it is not a service seal; If you look at the cow, you won't recognize the box.
Qi Ming in the east and Chang Geng in the west, ending the day's trip. "
Vega in the sky, sitting by the loom, has no intention of weaving, but is preoccupied with the other side of the Milky Way.
Altair, I missed it.
It can be seen that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were the imagination and legends of the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Historical records, tiangong books and
There are also records of Petunia and Weaver Girl in Hanshu. Jin Zonghuai mind Jingchu years, said
The Weaver Girl is the granddaughter of the Emperor of Heaven. On the night of July 7, she met Penny in the Milky Way, which has outlined the love story.

She is the son of the Emperor of Heaven, a sewing worker, and she has worked hard year after year to weave a satin dress. She has no interest in her hard work, and her appearance is too busy to clean up.
God pitied him for being alone and married Penny in Hexi. From then on, he abandoned his efforts in weaving and never came back. When the emperor was angry, he deserved it.
Meet every year. "This record is accurate. He was inspired by Nineteen Ancient Poems, one of which described.
Tanabata Double Star:
"All the way Altair, Jiao Jiao Hehan female; Slim plunged into the loom with simple hands. Tears fall like rain all day long;
Rivers are clear and shallow. What's the difference? Between water and water, there are no words. "
This poem is more poignant and incisive than the one in The Book of Songs. It tells the story of a pair of lovestruck lovers.
Sorrow over a sad situation full of the past.
In addition, Yu Bao in the Jin Dynasty described the cowherd and weaver girl in the sky as Dong Yongfu, a dutiful son of the Han Dynasty.
The story of a woman. It is recorded in the Record of the Continuation of Qi and Harmony in the Northern Dynasties: "Guiyang became Wu Ding, and there is a fairy road, which is called his brother:
"On July 7th, the Weaver Girl crossed the river." My brother said,' What's the matter with crossing the river?' Answer:' I'm interested in cowherd for the time being.' Up to now, the cloud says,' Weave.
A woman married a cowherd. Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow in the Tang Dynasty includes: "On the seventh day of July, in the Palace of Eternal Life, we secretly told each other in the quiet midnight world;"
We hope to fly in heaven, two birds become one, and grow on the earth, two branches of a tree .. "Describing Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Yuhuan, taking the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl as an example, * * * vowed to be white.
