China myth

One day, the weaver girl and the fairies went down to play and bathed in the river. The old cow advised the cowherd to meet each other and told him that if the fairies could not go back before dawn, they could only stay in the world.

The cowherd stayed by the river to see seven fairies. He found that the smallest fairy was very beautiful and had a sudden love for her. Remembering the words of the old cow, Niulang quietly took away the fairy's clothes.

The fairies took a bath and were ready to return to heaven. When the fairies found that their clothes were missing, they could only stay. The Cowherd made an encounter with the fairy Weaver Girl.

Later, they talked very well and understood their difficulties. The Weaver Girl became the wife of the Cowherd. After marriage, they farmed and woven, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Their life was very happy.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Heaven found out the matter and ordered the Queen Mother to escort the Zhinu back to heaven for trial.

Lao Niu couldn't bear the separation of their wives, so he broke the horns on his head and turned into a boat, letting the Cowherd chase his children by boat.

Seeing that she was about to catch up with Zhinu, the Queen Mother suddenly pulled out the gold hairpin on her head and drew a galaxy rolling in the sky.

Niulang could not cross the river, but watched and wept with Zhinu by the river. Their steadfast love moved magpies. Countless magpies flew to build a colorful bridge across the Tianhe River with their bodies, so that Cowherd and Weaver Girl could meet on the Tianhe River.

The Emperor had no choice but to allow Cowherd and Weaver Girl to meet on Magpie Bridge once a year on July 7, and Magpie would also be around. Every year after that, Cowherd and Weaver Girl will meet on July 7.

扩展资料：

中国民间故事包含丰富的想象成分，充满浪漫色彩。它起源于原始社会，到阶级社会又继续发展，反映古代社会人们的生活、习俗和信念，人与人之间的关系和某些社会矛盾。幻想故事的主人公多为普通劳动者，其中出现的情节、事物和一部分人物，大都带有超自然的性质。

它常把某些现实生活中不可能的事情，当作可能实现的事情表现出来。它借助法术和宝物的帮助，实现贫困、诚实主人公的愿望和憧憬，并对恶人、贪心者予以惩罚。

这类故事中的宝物大多为日常事物，它们的神奇性能实际是人类知识和技能的作用的理想化，并且经过幻想以物质形态表现出来。

幻想故事情节常采用“三段结构法”；人物、情节、语言基本定型，在不同地区也时有变异；叙述经常夹有韵语。晋代干宝《搜神记》（卷十四）中的《毛衣女》、陶潜《搜神后记》中的《白水素女》，唐代段成式《酉阳杂俎》续集“支诺臯上”里的《叶限》、《旁》和《原化记》中的《吴堪》等，记录的都是古代流传的幻想故事。

【英文版的嫦娥奔月故事】One day, when Houyi was out, Chang'e secretly swallowed the potion（一剂） in the hope that she would become immortal. The result was quite unexpected: she felt herself becoming light, so light that she flew up in spite of herself, drifting and floating in the air, until she reached the palace of the moon.She is regarded by later generations as the goddess of the moon.This beautiful story has always been liked by the Chinese and provides a favourite allusion（暗示） for poets and writers.Chairman Mao Zedong's poem in memory of his martyred（有牺牲精神的） wife Yang Kaihui has these well - known lines:The lonely moon goddess spreads her ample sleevesTo dance for these loyal souls in infinite space.Here, in the Chinese original, the name Chang'e is used instead of "moon goddess".The figure of Chang'e, a beauty dressed in the elegant garments of a bygone（过去） age floating towards the moon, naturally supplies unending inspiration for painters and sculptors.【中文故事简介】传说古代天空中有10个太阳同时出来，大地被烤成焦土，后羿为民除害射掉了9个太阳，西天的王母娘娘奖赏他长生不老的仙药。他的妻子嫦娥趁后羿不注意时偷吃了这些药，突然她就成仙飞向天宫，王母娘娘惩罚她，让她在广寒宫里思过。【典故】羿请不死之药于西王母，姮娥窃以奔月，怅然有丧。西汉·刘安《淮南子·览冥训》

The festival has a long history. In ancient China, emperors followed the rite of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn. Historical books of the Zhou Dynasty had had the word "Mid-Autumn". Later aristocrats and literary figures helped expand the ceremony to common people. They enjoyed the full, bright moon on that day, worshipped it and expressed their thoughts and feelings under it. By the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the Mid-Autumn Festival had been fixed, which became even grander in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). In the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, it grew to be a major festival of China.中秋节有悠久的历史，和其它传统节日一样，也是慢慢发展形成的，古代帝王有春天祭日，秋天祭月的礼制，早在《周礼》一书中，已有“中秋”一词的记载。后来贵族和文人学士也仿效起来，在中秋时节，对着天上又亮又圆一轮皓月，观赏祭拜，寄托情怀，这种习俗就这样传到民间，形成一个传统的活动，一直到了唐代，这种祭月的风俗更为人们重视，中秋节才成为固定的节日，《唐书·太宗记》记载有“八月十五中秋节”，这个节日盛行于宋朝，至明清时，已与元旦齐名，成为我国的主要节日之一。
