The Weaver and the Cowherd: The Chinese Folktale of Star-Crossed Lovers
Every year, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Heavenly Jade Emperor shifts the stars to allow star-crossed lovers Zhinu and Niulang to reunite. After just a brief embrace, they must return to their opposite sides of the Silver Milky Way River.
Zhinu, the pampered youngest daughter of the all-powerful Jade Emperor, grew up with endless love under her mother's watchful eye. Niulang, the orphaned son of cowherds, grew up on the charity of his community. When they meet one night at a banquet, their strings of fate are forever knotted together.
Set in the deep fantasy world of Ancient Chinese folklore, The Weaver and the Cowherd retells the story of two star-crossed lovers, Niulang the humble oxherd and Zhinu the weaver. The two are destined to forever yearn for each other on opposite sides of the Milky Way. But how did this come to be?
