Chinese Valentine's Day (or
month of the lunar calendar (August according to the Gregorian calendar). As is
the custom elsewhere in the world, this is a day devoted to romance.
In China, this day is also known as
Festival.
fruit before worship and prayers for a good marriage.
There are many stories as to the origins of Chinese Valentine's Day, and one of
them involves the Emperor of Heaven and his seven daughters.
The love story
The seventh daughter of the Emperor of Heaven and an orphaned cowherd were
separated by the Emperor; the girl was forced to move to the star Vega (织女星,
天琴座中的最亮的那颗星)and the cowherd, to the star Altair(牛郎星, 牵牛星). They
were only allowed to meet once a year on the day of seventh day of seventh lunar
month - Chinese Valentine's Day.
The story begins with the handsome but poor orphan who lived with his elder
brother and sister-in-law. After his parents passed away, the boy's brother
inherited the house and land. But all he had was an old ox. As a cowherd, the boy
had to work the farm fields with his ox everyday. His daily life routine resembled
the story of Cinderella (《灰姑娘》).
The seventh daughter of the Emperor, also known as the Weaving Maid, was good
at handcrafting, especially weaving clothes. The Emperor particularly appreciated
her skills of weaving clouds with rainbows to make the world more beautiful.
The cowherd's ox, which was actually an immortal from heaven, made mistakes
in heaven and was reincarnated as an ox to toil on earth. One day, the ox
suddenly said to the cowherd:
go to the brook and your wish will come true.
The cowherd went to the brook and watched the seven pretty daughters of the
Emperor come down from heaven to take a bath. Fascinated by the youngest and
the most beautiful one, the cowherd hid her fairy clothes. When the other six
fairies went away after the bath, the youngest could not fly back to heaven
without her fairy clothes.
The cowherd then appeared and told the Weaving Maid that he would keep her
clothes until she agreed to be his wife. After a slight hesitation, mixed with
coyness and eagerness, the maid accepted the handsome man's proposal. The
couple was then married and had two children two years later.
Meanwhile, up in heaven, the Emperor missed the beautiful skies once woven by
his seventh daughter. He ordered his daughter's grandmother to find her and
bring her back to him. As the seventh princess was flying to heaven with her
grandmother, the cowherd put on his old ox's hide (which he preserved after the
animal had died long ago) and put their children into two bamboo baskets laced
with his wife's magical fairy clothes to chase after his love.
But the grandmother created a milky way in the sky with her hairpin, which kept
the lovers apart. The seventh princess moved to the star Vega (The Swooping
Eagle) in the Lyra (Harp) constellation. And the cowherd and their two children
stayed on the star Altair (Flying One) in the Aquila (Eagle) constellation.
Success Is a Choice
All of us ought to be able to prepare for the predictable challenges and
setbacks that crop up every day. If we expect that life won't be perfect, we'll be
able to avoid an impelling force to quit. But even if you are strong enough to
persist through the obstacle course of life and work, sometimes you will
encounter an harmful event that will completely knock you on your back.
Whether it's a financial loss, the loss of respect of your peers or loved ones,
or some other traumatic event in your life these major setbacks leave you
doubting yourself and wondering if things can ever change for the better again.
Adversity happens to all of us, and it happens all the time. Some form of
major adversity is either going to be there or it's lying in wait just around the
corner. To ignore adversity is to yield to the ultimate self-delusion.
But you must recognize that history is full of examples of men and women who
achieved greatness despite facing difficulties so steep that they easily could have
crushed their spirit and left them lying in the dust. Moses was a stutterer, yet he
was called on to be the voice of God. Abraham Lincoln over- came a difficult
childhood, depression, the death of two sons,and constant ridicule during the
Civil War to become arguably our greatest president ever. Helen Keller made an
impact on the world despite being deaf, dumb, and blind from an early age.
Franklin Roosevelt had polio.
There are endless examples. These were people who not only looked adversity
in the face but learned valuable lessons about overcoming difficult circumstances
and were able to move ahead.
