ʻAʻole ʻike nui ʻia ka lā e like me nā ʻahaʻaina Kina ʻē aʻe.Akā ʻaneʻane kamaʻāina loa nā kānaka a pau ma Kina, ʻōpio a me nā ʻelemakule, i ka moʻolelo ma hope o kēia ʻahaʻaina.
I ka wā kahiko loa, aia kekahi kahu bipi ʻilihune, ʻo Niulang.Ua aloha ʻo ia iā Zhinu, "ke Kaimahine Weaver".ʻO ka maikaʻi a me ka lokomaikaʻi, ʻo ia ka mea nani loa ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa.ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ua huhū ka Mōʻī a me ka Mōʻīwahine o ka lani i ka ʻike ʻana ua hele kā lāua moʻopuna i ke ao o ke kanaka a lawe i kāne.No laila, ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia lāua e kahi muliwai pehu ākea i ka lewa a hiki ke hui wale i hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki ma ka lā ʻehiku o ka mahina ʻehiku.
Ua lilo nā kāne ʻilihune o Niulang lāua ʻo Zhinu i hōkū.ʻO Niulang ʻo Altair a ʻo Zhinu ʻo Vega.ʻO ka muliwai ākea e hoʻokaʻawale iā lākou i kapa ʻia ʻo Milky Way.Ma ka ʻaoʻao hikina o ka Milky Way, ʻo Altair ka waena o ka laina ʻekolu.ʻO ka hope nā māhoe.Aia ma ka hikina hikina he eono hoku me ke ano bipi.Aia ʻo Vega ma ke komohana o ke Ala Milky;ʻo ka hōkū a puni kona ʻano ma ke ʻano he mea ulana.I kēlā me kēia makahiki, pili kokoke nā hōkū ʻelua o Altair lāua ʻo Vega i ka lā ʻehiku o ka mahina ʻehiku.
Ua hala kēia moʻolelo aloha kaumaha mai kēlā hanauna a i kēia hanauna.Ua ʻike ʻia he kakaʻikahi loa nā magpies i ʻike ʻia ma ka lā ʻAlua-Huku.ʻO kēia no ka mea, lele ka hapa nui o lākou i ka Milky Way, kahi i hana ai lākou i alahaka i hiki ai i nā mea aloha ʻelua ke hui pū.I kekahi lā aʻe, ua ʻike ʻia ka nui o nā ʻōhule;no ka mea, ua hele lōʻihi loa ʻo Niulang lāua ʻo Zhinu ma luna o nā poʻo o ko lāua mau hoa aloha aloha.
I ka wā kahiko, he ʻahaʻaina ka Lā ʻAlua-Huku no nā wāhine ʻōpio.ʻO nā kaikamāhine, ʻaʻohe mea mai nā ʻohana waiwai a ʻilihune paha, e hoʻokau i kā lākou hoʻomaha maikaʻi loa no ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ka hālāwai makahiki o ka kahu bipi a me ka Girl Weaver.Hoʻonoho nā mākua i kahi kuni ʻala ma ka pā a waiho i nā hua i mōhai.A laila, e kuʻi nā kaikamahine a pau o ka ʻohana iā Niulang lāua ʻo Zhinu a pule no ke akamai.
I ka mōʻī Tang Dynasty ma kahi o 1,000 mau makahiki aku nei, ua kūkulu nā ʻohana waiwai ma ke kūlanakauhale nui o Changʻan i hale kiaʻi i hoʻonani ʻia ma ka pā a kapa ʻia ʻo Tower of Praying for Ingenuity.Ua pule lākou no nā ʻano akamai like ʻole.ʻO ka hapa nui o nā kaikamāhine e pule no ka humuhumu a i ʻole ka mākaukau kuke.I ka wā ma mua, he mau pono koʻikoʻi kēia no ka wahine.
ʻO nā kaikamāhine a me nā wahine e ʻākoakoa i kahi huinaha a nānā i ka lewa pō piha i ka hōkū.Kau lākou i ko lākou mau lima ma hope o ke kua, e paʻa ana i ka nila a me ke kaula.Ma ka hua'ōlelo "Start", e ho'āʻo lākou e wili i ka nila.E hoʻopōmaikaʻi ʻo Zhinu, ke Kaimahine Weaver, i ka mea i lanakila mua.
I kēlā pō hoʻokahi, hōʻike pū nā kaikamahine a me nā wahine i nā melon i kālai ʻia a me nā laʻana o kā lākou mau kuki a me nā mea ʻono ʻē aʻe.I ke ao, hana akamai lākou i nā meloni i nā ʻano mea like ʻole.Hana kekahi i ka iʻa gula.ʻO kekahi poʻe makemake i nā pua, a ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe e hoʻohana i nā melons a kālai iā lākou i hale nani.Ua kapa ʻia kēia mau melons ʻo Hua Gua a i ʻole Carved Melons.
E hōʻike aku nō nā wāhine i kā lākou mau kuki palai i hana ʻia ma nā ʻano like ʻole.E kono lākou i ke Kaikamahine Weaver e hoʻoholo i ka mea ʻoi loa.ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole e iho ʻo Zhinu i ka honua no ka mea ua paʻa ʻo ia e kamaʻilio me Niulang ma hope o ka makahiki lōʻihi o ka kaʻawale ʻana.Ua hāʻawi kēia mau hana i nā kaikamahine a me nā wahine i manawa kūpono e hōʻike i ko lākou mākaukau a hoʻohui i ka leʻaleʻa i ka ʻahaʻaina.
ʻAʻole paʻa ka poʻe Kina i kēia mau lā, ʻoi aku ka poʻe kamaʻāina o ke kūlanakauhale.ʻO ka hapa nui o nā wahine ʻōpio e kūʻai i ko lākou lole mai nā hale kūʻai a ʻo ka hapa nui o nā kāne ʻōpio e hana i ka hana o ka hale.
ʻAʻole ka lā hoʻomaha lehulehu ma Kina.Eia nō naʻe, he lā kēia e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ka hālāwai makahiki o nā kāne aloha, ʻo ka kahu bipi a me ke kaikamahine ulana.ʻAʻole ia he mea kupanaha, nui ka poʻe e noʻonoʻo i ka lā ʻAlua-hiku ʻo ka lā Valentine's Kina.
