2016七夕节的英文介绍

double-seventh day

the double- seventh day refers to the seventh day of the
seventh month on the chinese lunar calendar. the day is not as
well known as many other chinese festivals. but almost
everyone in china, young and old, is very familiar with the
story behind this festival.

a long long time ago, there was a poor cowherd, niulang. he
fell in love with zhinu, “the girl weaver. virtuous and kind, she
was the most beautiful being in the whole universe.
unfortunately, the king and queen of heaven were furious
finding out that their granddaughter had gone to the world of
man and taken a husband. thus, the couple was separated by a
wide swollen river in the sky and can only meet once a year on
the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. the poor couple of
niulang and zhinu each became a star. niulang is altair and
zhinu is vega. the wide river that keeps them apart is known as
the milky way. on the east side of the milky way, altair is the
middle one of a line of three. the end ones are the twins. to the
southeast are six stars in the shape of an ox. vega is to the
west of the milky way; the star around her form in the shape of
a loom. every year, the two stars of altair and vega are closest
together on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.

this sad love story has passed down from generation to
generation. it is well known that very few magpies are seen on
the double-seventh day. this is because most of them fly to the
milky way, where they form a bridge so that the two lovers
might come together. the next day, it is seen that many
magpies are bald; this is because niulang and zhinu walked
and stood too long on the heads of their loyal feathered friends.

in ancient times, the double-seventh day was a festival
especially for young women. girls, no matter from rich or poor
families, would put on their holiday best to celebrate the
annual meeting of the cowherd and the girl weaver. parents
would place an incense burner in the courtyard and lay out

some fruit as offerings. then all the girls in the family would
kowtow to niulang and zhinu and pray for ingenuity.

in the tang dynasty about 1,000 years ago, rich families in the
capital city of changan would set up a decorated tower in the
courtyard and name it tower of praying for ingenuity. they
prayed for various types of ingenuity. most girls would pray for
outstanding sewing or cooking skills. in the past these were
important virtues for a woman.

girls and women would gather together in a square and look
into the star- filled night sky. they would put their hands behind
their backs, holding needle and thread. at the word “start”,
they would try to thread the needle. zhinu, the girl weaver,
would bless the one who succeeded first.

the same night, the girls and women would also display
carved melons and samples of their cookies and other
delicacies. during the daytime, they would skillfully

carve melons into all sorts of things. some would make a gold
fish. others preferred flowers, still others would use several
melons and carve them into an exquisite building. these
melons were called hua gua or carved melons. the ladies
would also show off their fried cookies made in many different
shapes. they would invite the girl weaver to judge who was the
best. of course, zhinu would not come down to the world
because she was busy talking to niulang after a long year of
separation. these activities gave the girls and women a good
opportunity to show their skills and added fun to the fesstival.

chinese people nowadays, especially city residents, no longer
hold such

activities. most young women buy their clothes from shops
and most young couples share the housework.

the double-seventh day is not a public holiday in china.
however, it is still a day to celebrate the annual meeting of the
loving couple, the cowherd and the girl weaver. not
surprisingly, many people consider the double-seventh day the
chinese valentines day.

中国的七夕节的英文是chinese valentines day.下面就是关于七夕
节情人节的介绍：

raise your head on august 4 and gaze at the stars, you will find
something romantic going on in the sky.

valentines day in china, the seventh day of the seventh lunar
month, falls on august 4 this year.

that is, on monday evening, niu lang and zhi nu will meet on a
bridge of magpies（鹊桥） across the milky way（银河）.
chinese grannies will remind children that they would not be
able to see any magpies on that evening because all the
magpies have left to form a bridge in the heavens with their
wings.

romantic legend

the legend has been handed down for nearly 2 millennia. the
story has been recorded as far back as the jin dynasty (256-420
ad). poets composed hundreds of verses on the love story and
many types of chinese opera tell the story.

the chinese people believe that the star vega（织女星）, east
of the milky way, is zhi nu and, at the constellation of aquila
（天鹰座）, on the western side of the milky way, niu lang waits
for his wife.

zhi nu was said to be the youngest of seven daughters of the
queen of heaven. with her sisters, she worked hard to weave
beautiful clouds in the sky, while niu lang was a poor orphan
cowherd, driven out of his home by his elder brother and his
cruel wife.

niu lang lamented over his lonely and poor life with an old cow,
his only friend and companion. the magical cow kindly told
him of a way to find a beautiful and nice woman as his life
companion.

under the direction of the cow, niu lang went to the riverside
on an evening, where the seven fairies slipped out of their
heavenly palace to bathe.

he took one of the beautiful silk dresses the fairies had left on
the bank. when the fairies left the water, the youngest couldnt

find her clothes and had to see her sisters fly back to heaven
without her.

then niu lang came out with the dress and asked the youngest
fairy, zhi nu, to stay with him. several years passed on earth,
which were only a few days in heaven. niu lang and zhi nu
lived happily together and had two children before the queen
of heaven discovered zhi nus absence. she was so annoyed
she had zhi nu brought back to heaven. seeing his beloved
wife flying in the sky, niu lang was terrified. he caught sight of
the cowhide hanging on a wall. the magical cow had told him
before dying of old age: keep the cowhide（牛皮） for
emergency use. putting the cowhide on, he went after his wife
with his two children.

with the help of the cowhide, niu lang was able to follow zhi nu
into heaven. he was about to reach his wife when the queen
showed up and pulled off her hairpin to draw a line between
the two. the line became the silver river in heaven, or the milky
way.

zhi nu went back to the heavenly workshop, going on weaving
the clouds. but she was so sad,

and missed her husband across the silver river so much that
the clouds she weaved seemed sad. finally, the queen showed
a little mercy, allowing the couple to meet once every year on
the silver river.

well-known poem

one of the most famous poems about the legend was written
by qin guan of in the song dynasty (960-1279).

fairy of the magpie bridge

among the beautiful clouds,

over the heavenly river,

crosses the weaving maiden.

a night of rendezvous,

across the autumn sky.

surpasses joy on earth.

moments of tender love and dream,

so sad to leave the magpie bridge.

eternal love between us two,

shall withstand the time apart.

(translated by kylie hsu)

鹊桥仙

宋?秦观

织云弄巧

飞星传恨

银汉迢迢暗度

金风玉露一相逢

便胜却人间无数

柔情似水

佳期如梦

忍顾鹊桥归路

两情若是久长时

又岂在朝朝暮暮

compared with love stories in western legends, the story of
niu lang and zhi nu seems not as intense or passionate. love
doesnt kill or break up the barrier between them. they just wait
patiently on the riverbank, believing that their love can
withstand their time apart.

it is faith and emotional liaison instead of physical attraction
and desire that is emphasized in the story as well as in many
other chinese folktales（民间故事） about love.

in only a few chinese folk love stories can be found a
description of the physical appearances of the hero and
heroine.

in the butterfly lovers, the heroine, dressed as a boy to attend
school, falls in love with a classmate. after they have lived
together as classmates for years, the hero did not have the
slightest clue that his best friend is actually a girl!

chinese ceremonies

the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the only
chinese festival devoted to love in the lunar calendar.

unlike st. valentines day in western countries there is not so
much emphasis on giving chocolates, flowers and kisses.
instead, chinese girls prepare fruits, melons and incense（熏香）
as offerings to zhi nu, the weaving maiden, praying to acquire
high skills in needlecraft（裁缝）, as well as hoping to find
satisfactory husbands.

in the evening, people sit outdoors to observe the stars.
chinese grannies would say that, if you stand under a

grapevine, you can probably overhear what zhi nu and niu lang
are talking about.

经过上面这些介绍，你是否记在心里了呢？！今后，如果有外国友
人 问起我们中国的情人节的由来，你就不会手忙脚乱不知所措了。
