The story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl:
In China, the fairy tale of Cowherd and Weaver Girl is widely circulated: According to legend, in Guqiong, there lived a loving couple. Later, when his wife died, the husband felt very lonely and secretly prayed that he could ascend to heaven as soon as possible so that he could meet his wife. After her husband died, the crane really took him to heaven and became a morning glory. Unfortunately, the husband and wife are separated by the Tianhe River, one in the east and the other in the west, so they can't meet at ordinary times. Heavenly Emperor was deeply moved by them, and let them cross the bridge built by magpies on the seventh day of July every year. This is what people often say when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet at the Magpie Bridge.
In ancient Greek and Roman mythology, Vega was called "Lula" and "Lila", meaning harp. Lyra got its name from this.
