DPSS solid-state laser engraving gift for Qi Xi Jie—China’s Valentine’s Day

The seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is known as Qi Xi Jie, a traditional holiday that has been recently called China’s Valentine’s Day.

The story of the Niulang and the Zhinv has been given profound meaning since ancient times. Today, we replace the moonlight in the sky with lasers ，and laser-engrave metal bookmarks, letting beautiful stories come into our reading life.

When making bookmarks, businesses can choose stainless steel with gold plating. It has both luster and toughness, and is durable and easy to store. It is the best choice for bookmark materials. On the basis of laser engraving, businesses can also follow the trend of the public, and increase the painting process to make the bookmark more decorative, vivid and cultural.

Story details

The 2,000-plus-year-old history marks the star-crossed love between a cow herder Niulang and Zhinv, a weaver of clouds and the daughter of the Jade Emperor who is the Daoist ruler of heaven.

The story goes that the two fell in love and got married, but their bond was met with disapproval by Wangmu, Zhinv’s mother and the queen of heaven. With a swift move of her hairpin, she separated the two with a river in the sky, known today as the Milky Way. Since then， Niulang is viewed as the star Altair and Zhinu as the star Vega.

Aber die Königin hatte Mitleid mit ihnen und gab ihnen eine Nacht im Jahr, um sie zusammen zu verbringen. Auf Qi Xi Jie soll die Königin Elstern schicken, um die himmlische Kluft zwischen den beiden Sternenliebhabern zu überbrücken.

Das Liebespaar wurde einst vom Song-Dynastie-Dichter Qin Guan verewigt: „Eine Nacht des Rendezvous über dem Herbsthimmel. Übertrifft die Freude auf Erden.“ Hier ist eine Übersetzung dieses Gedichts Fairy of the Elster Bridge.

Verwurzelt in der Astronomie:

Die Geschichte scheint eine Interpretation der Hervorhebung der beiden Sterne Altair und Wega zu sein, die zusammen mit Deneb das westliche Sternbild The Summer Triangle bilden, das im Sommer auf der Nordhalbkugel gut sichtbar ist.
