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.

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.

But the queen took pity on them and gave them one night of the year to spend together. On Qi Xi Jie, the queen is said to send magpies to bridge the celestial gap between the two star lovers.

Los amantes fueron inmortalizados una vez por el poeta de la dinastía Song Qin Guan: “Una noche de encuentro, a través del cielo otoñal. Sobrepasa la alegría en la tierra.” aquí hay una traducción de ese poema Hada del Puente de la Urraca.

Arraigado en la astronomía:

El cuento parece ser una interpretación de la prominencia de las dos estrellas Altair y Vega, que junto con Deneb forman la constelación occidental, el Triángulo de Verano, que es muy visible en el verano en el hemisferio norte.
