Reading Transcripts
，
The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is Qixi festival,
。
which is the Chinese valentine's day.
，
As legend said,
，
long long ago,
there was a beautiful fairy in the heaven,
。
her name was Zhinü(the weaver girl).
Once she came down to the earth,
。
and fell in love with a common man named Niulang(the cowherd).
，
But,
，
Zhinü's mother,
。
Queen Mother of the West didn't allow them to live together.
，
Although, Zhinü lived in the heaven,
，
Niulang lived on the earth,
。
they were always missing each other.
，
Afterwards,
。
magpies were touched by their true love.
，
every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month,
，
many magpies would build a bridge with their bodies,
。
so that Niulang and Zhinü could meet on the bridge.
，
In the past,
，
on the night of Qixi festival,
，
girls would make wishes,
，
they hope that they can be as smart as the weaver girl,
。
and hope to meet their loved ones earlier.
，
Now,
，
on Qixi festival,
，
girls will eat and go to the movies with their lover,
，
boys will send flowers to girls,
。
spend a romantic Chinese valentine's day together.
