The "Weaving Maiden" is a figure from Chinese mythology, often associated with the Qixi Festival, also known as the Double Seventh Festival. She is typically depicted as a skilled weaver who creates beautiful textiles in the heavens. Her story is intertwined with that of Niulang, a cowherd, and their love, which is celebrated during the festival. In the legend, the Weaving Maiden is the daughter of the Jade Emperor and is separated from Niulang by the Milky Way. Once a year, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, they are allowed to reunite, symbolizing love and devotion. This tale highlights themes of love, separation, and the importance of family.
