七夕情人節指的是農曆七月的第七個夜晚,這個節日是漢代傳統的民間節日。七夕的晚上不僅僅是傳說中的"牛郎"和"織女"一年一度相會的夜晚,同時也是為編制姑娘們祈求心靈手巧的好機會。因此,七夕節又叫"乞巧節","女兒節"。儘管七夕節不如其它節日那般流行,但是在中國,男女老少都對節日背後的故事相當熟悉。TheDoubleSeventhFestivalreferstotheseventhnightoftheseventhlunarmonth.ItisatraditionalfolkfestivaloftheHanpeople.ThisnightisnotonlythetimewhenthelegendaryCowherdandtheGirlWeaveraresupposedtohavetheirannualmeeting,butalsoagoodopportunityforwomentoprayfortheGirlWeaverforthepurposeofseekingdexterity.Therefore,thisfestivalisalsonamed"Maiden'sDay","Daughter'sDay".Thedayisnotaswell-knownasmanyotherChinesefestivals.ButalmosteveryoneinChina,youngorold,isveryfamiliarwiththestorybehindit.
很久以前,有一個放牛娃名叫牛郎,父母早亡,只好跟著哥哥嫂嫂度日。然而,哥哥嫂子為人狠毒,經常虐待他。他們逼牛郎幹苦活,不讓他吃飽睡好,最後又把他趕出了家門,牛郎除了身上的衣服和一頭老水牛外,一無所有。Onceuponatime,therelivedapoorcowherd,Niulang,whoseparentshaddiedlongbefore.Hehadtolivetogetherwithhiselderbrother.Unfortunately,hisbrotherandhissister-in-lawwereverymeanandoftentreatedNiulangverybadly.Theywouldnotgivehimenoughfoodtoeat,andmadehimworksohardthathehardlyhadtimetosleep.Finally,theykickedhimoftheirhome.Allhehadintheworldweretheclothesonhisbackandanoldox.
牛郎在山邊搭了間茅草屋,辛勤開墾,在巖石地上挖出了一片菜園,他常常飢腸轆轆,勞累不堪,但把老水牛照顧得好好的。一日,牛突然說話了,它告訴牛郎說自己前身是天上的金牛星,由於違反了天條把糧食種子撒到了人間,天帝將它貶到人間以示懲罰。老牛說,過幾天,天上的仙女會下凡到離茅草屋不遠的聖池裡遊泳,其中有一個勤勞善良、美麗賢惠的姑娘,名叫織女。
