Wonderful tonight

It's late in the evening.(夜色渐浓)

She's wondering what clothes to wear.(她还在为如何装扮犹豫不决)

She puts on her make up,(选好衣服穿上,薄施粉黛)

and brushes her long blond hair.(并盘好了那一头漂亮的金发)

And then she asks me:"Do I look allright?"(然后她问我,"这样打扮得合适吗?"

And I say:"Yes, you look wonderful tonight."(我答到:"是的,你今晚看起来很迷人"

We go to a party,(我们去参加一个晚会)

and everyone turns to see.(惹得众人频频侧目)

This beautiful lady(这位美丽的淑女)

is walking around with me.(与我结伴款款而行)

And then she asks me:"Do you feel allright?"(这时她问我:"你感觉还好吧?"

And I say:"Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."(我回答:"是的,我今晚感觉很不错"

I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes.

(我感觉不错是因为我看到在你眼中燃烧着的爱意)

And the wonder of it all(而且我还在想)

is that you just don't realize(你可能并不知道)

how much I love you....(我到底有多爱你)

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 couldn''t 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 Nu''s 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 doesn''t 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.
