The main characters of the legend are a cowherd and the Weaving Girl. The cowherd was a man in his early youth, and whose sole companian was his ox. On the other hand, the Weaving Girl was an immortal, the daughter of Heaven's Jade Emperor. One day the old ox came up with a scheme for the cowherd, and instructed him how he might win the Weaving Girl's hand in marriage. So, takingadvantage of the moment all the Immortal Maidens were bathing in a river, the cowherd made off with the Weaving Girl's clothes. After bathing, the other Immortal Maidens donned their robes and flew off -- only the Weaving Girl remained. Deluged by the cowherd's entreaties, the weaving maiden consented to be his wife. Married, the young cowherd tended the fields while the Weaving Girl tended the loom, and the two lived in absolute joy. The Weaving Girl blessed the cowherd with a son and a daughter. Later, as the old ox was about to die, he told the cowherd to remove his hide, for should the cowherd meet with misfortune, draping himself in the ox-hide would provide assistance. So, after the old ox died, the man and wife worked reluctanly together to cut away the hide, then buried the remains in a mountainside.
However, when the Jade Emporer and the Queen Mother of the West heard the news of cowherd's and Weaving Girl's union, they flew into a rage, and commanded their servant spirits to abduct the Weaving Girl while the cowherd was away. When the cowherd returned home and saw the Weaving Girl was gone, he hastily draped himself in the ox-hide, and carrying his two young children, went off in pursuit. Seeing this, the Queen Mother of the West to snatched a clasp from her hair scratched it over the Milky Way, quickly churning the clear and shallow Milky Way into large billows which the cowherd could no longer cross. At that point, the cowherd and the Weaving Girl would only gaze at one another from either side of the starry river. Later, seeing the true love between them, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West were moved, and allowed the couple to be together once a year, on the seventh day of the seventh month. Tradition has it that every seventh day of the seventh month, all the world's magpie's fly into the heavens to become a bridge which the cowherd and the Maiden Girl cross to be together. Legend also has it that on this quietest of quiet nights, people under the Grape Trellis may still hear the cowherd's and Weaving Girl's delicate words of love.
