In this story, the farmer Chien Niu fell in love with a fairy Chih Nu while she was visiting earth. They got married secretly, but soon the Jade Emperor and Empress of heaven found out and separated the two. However, their strong affection and genuine love for each other had touched the heart of the Jade Emperor. Therefore, they were granted to meet each other once a year on 7th day of 7th lunar moon every year. It is said that on this day, no magpies could be seen anywhere on earth because they would flock together hovering to form a bridge from earth to heaven. That is why the magpie is said to be the bird that connects earth to heaven and also the bird that promotes love affair. The magpie is therefore widely known as the “bird of happiness”.
