The Cowherd and the Weaving Maid (牛郎织女)

The Cowherd and the Weaving Maid (牛郎织女)

COMING IN Q1 2025!  Niulang, a humble cowherd, and Zhinü, a celestial weaving maid and daughter of the Jade Emperor, defy the boundaries between heaven and earth. Drawn together by fate, their love blossoms, but their union angers the gods. As punishment, they are separated by the great sky river, destined to never see each other again. But their devotion moves the heavens, and the Jade Emperor allows them to reunite, once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month, when a bridge of magpies forms to bring them together. This timeless legend celebrates love’s enduring power to conquer the impossible.

This story, one of the most of all Chinese legends, is written using the 600-word vocabulary of HSK3. It is presented in Simplified Chinese characters and pinyin and includes a full English translation and complete glossary.
