China - Goddess of Weaving

Chih-Nii
Goddess of spinners, weavers and clouds. She also rules over handcrafts and rain.

Aquila The Eagle
To the Chinese and Japanese Aquila's brightest star, Altar, was husband to Chih Nii (the goddess of weaving).

The Heavenly Spinster, Chih-nii and the Cowherd
Chih-nii was the divine daughter of the August Personage of Jade, and for him she always spun seamless robes of brocade and clouds. As a reward, her father married her to the Heavenly Cowherd whom she came to love so dearly that she neglected her spinning. Her father became so angry that he separated them by casting one to the right of the Heavenly River (Milky Way) and one to the left. Chih-nii and the Cowherd were allowed to see each other only once a year
