牛郎織女傳

The narrative begins in the heavenly court where a young celestial attendant behaves improperly toward a divine weaver and both incur imperial censure. A senior immortal pleads for mercy, so execution is averted but the attendant is demoted to mortal life while the weaver is punished with long service at the river’s eastern loom. The attendant is reborn into a troubled human household and faces hardship, family strife, and tests of character. The tale alternates between celestial scenes and earthly misfortunes, exploring love, responsibility, penance, and the hope that endurance and repentance may one day restore their union.
