About Qixi Festival

The Qixi Festival is celebrated to commemorate the tale of love between a cowherd, Niulang, and a weaver girl, Zhinü.

Legend has it that in a celestial realm, Niulang and Zhinü, who were a god and a goddess, fell deeply in love. However, the laws of heaven forbade their union. Zhinü, the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, was punished by being forced to weave beautiful clouds as her daily task.

Niulang was sent down to Earth. As a farmer, Niulang grew up as an orphan, enduring mistreatment from his brother and sister-in-law. He had only an old ox as his companion, working hard in the fields to barely make ends meet. However, with the help of the ox (a demoted cattle god), Niulang and Zhinü finally reunited on Earth, got married, and had a son and a daughter.
