From a blue pillow and silk embroidered
in the sky: two stars Altair and Vega ...
were separated by a torrent of water rough
And from the bitter sky was falling drop
In tears of joy and tears of sadness.
In the ripples of the beings of the cosmos
Ten soles high in the sky seared
the love, the pain, the trees of the earth
Wanting dry, seas, rivers and plants
the people starving and dying unsubstantiated
Love threw a dart and turned off the soles.
he sprang From his river of tears
That quenched the fires of the dead.
Like a Star live singing from there
exploded spraying water live well.
The tears were healing, the elixir of life
Traveling with water, salt and blood
fluid were the way from heaven to earth,
will save as many souls as possible.
People love, suffer and die of hunger
painful life in a harsh, cruel and uncertain
Y the sky presses down hard dialectical,
For fresh water and feed drop.
Tears are the fruit of eternal love
jumping of the green lamps of heaven
and are reflected in the joy and human pain
And while they love spring beings as brothers.
JEM WONG
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
One of the biggest parties in the Japanese calendar is Tanabata, or that is, the conclusion of the meeting of the stars Vega and Altair, separated by the Milky Way for the rest of the year. Like so much else in this country, is a Chinese tradition that comes from the love legend of Princess spinner Vega (Orihime, Japanese), daughter of the King of heaven, and the pastor Altair (Hikoboshi), condemned to keep your love for the few moments of the night of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, when allowed to cross the Milky Way (Amanogawa, or river of the sky) to meet.
From the perspective of both stars seem land be separated by a huge band of bright little light, under a million stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way, ie, represents the river that separates the young stars.
The story, a Japanese myth, known under the name of Tanabata : Orihime was a princess who was dedicated to making beautiful dresses, she lived on the edge of a river with his father Tenkou, also known as the King of heaven. Orihime One day he met a cowherd across the river, was called Hikoboshi, it was love at first sight that resulted in a quick marriage. Unfortunately, the union brought problems, the couple made love to forget their responsibilities. Orihime no longer make the beautiful clothes for which he was known and Hikoboshi lost all their livestock. When King Tenkou realized the problem of boys, separated them, sending Hikoboshi across the river, unable to return. The pain of separation made Orihime cried for a long time, finally the pleas of the girl ended up softening the heart of his father, who agreed that the husband was a night, but only once a year. In trying to meet realized that there was no way to move from one bank to another, to the pain of the spouses, a group of magpies were sad and tried to help, put wing against wing by a bridge of birds. When two young men crossed the bridge and found, magpies were assured that another year would come to assist them again. There was only one condition, if rain does not come and Orihime and Hikoboshi have to wait until next year to see.
L Tanabata a narrative has an axis that determines the union of the young stars, this axis is the rain, the story indicates that the rain, the crows will not come and the union will not be realized, just as in real life, if the rain comes, the stars are not observed and the amount of paper used in the ornaments will be damaged, observers of the party are very aware of the arrival of rain . A good example of how the myth and ritual are geared together and affect the environment. Tanabata is also clearly has an implicit learning, which indicates that while marriage contracts and family unions, the continuing need for social responsibilities we have undertaken with the community. However, in the natural world-star husbands can never be together, the stars Vega and Altair are far from one another by 14.8 years light, it is impossible that every year the stars come together at a point in space . The appointment of Orihime-Vega and Altair Hikoboshi, belongs solely to the wonderful world of culture, in the cold and desolate physical reality both suns shining continue independent of each other.
