Inspired by the story of the weaver girl Zhinü, daughter of a goddess, and the cowherd Niulang. They fell in love, married and had children. But when the goddess found out about them, she banished them both to different sides of the Milky Way. However, once a year, magpies will help out and form a bridge between the two lovers. The day is celebrated as China’s Valentine’s Day.
