七夕节，又名乞巧节、七巧节或七姐诞，人们称这天为“乞巧节”或“少女节”、“女儿节”。七夕坐看牵牛织女星，是民间的习俗，相传，在每年的这个夜晚，是天上织女与牛郎在鹊桥相会之时。传说在七夕夜晚，抬头可以看到牛郎织女的银河相会，或在瓜果架下可偷听到两人在天上相会时的脉脉情话。
In the celestial court of the Jade Emperor lived seven princesses.
Each had their chosen place in court, but the youngest princess had a special skill.
She could pluck clouds from the sky and spin them into the softest robes.
Her work was so precise, not even the most expert eye could find a seam.
But her craft was the same day after day, and she longed for new inspiration.
Finally, the Queen Mother granted the weaver permission to visit Earth.
The other princesses would accompany her to protect their sister from earthly dangers.
Dressed in special robes that allowed them to fly between Heaven and Earth, the sisters soared down from the sky.
The weaver was in awe of the rolling hills and rivers, and the sisters decided to swim in one of the glittering streams.
As the weaver floated, she dreamt about staying forever.
