摘要
织女、牵牛两星的称谓,最早见于《诗经》。西汉初的长安,牛郎、织女的爱情神话开始生成,长安斗门今存西汉牛女二石像,这是牛女星宿最早的人形化。魏晋南北朝时期这一神话的人物和情节已经定型,唐宋以后在民间口传中又进一步演进。七夕节俗也起源于长安。西汉初长安已有七月七日守夜乞愿、穿针乞巧的节俗,六朝时传播到江南,至唐代已风靡全国,尤以长安为盛。长安斗门的石婆庙庙会正是七夕节俗生动的载体,附近的牛女二石像石婆庙,不仅具有较高的文物价值,而且是弘扬七夕文化的宝贵资源。
The names of the Herd - boy and the Weaving - girl occurred first in the Book of Songs. In the early West Han Dynasty, the legend of love between the Herd - boy and the Weaving - girl was taking shape. The two statues of the Herd - boy and the Weaving - girl now kept in Doumen of Chang＇ an County were the oldest man- shape images of the two heavenly constellations. The characters and plot of the legend had already taken shape in times of the Wei, the Jin, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the further evolution of which continued in the Tang, the Song and the following Dynasties. The custom of celebrating the July - 7th Evening was also originated in Chang＇ an. In the early West Han Dynasty, people in Chang＇ an celebrated the July - 7th Evening by keeping watch at night for wish realization or threading needles for sewing craftsmanship. This custom spread to southern China in the Six Dynasties and throughout the country in the Tang Dynasty with the grandest celebration in Chang＇ an. The fair of the Stone Lady Temple is a live carrier of the custom of the July - 7th Evening celebration. The temple and the statues of the Herd - boy and the Weaving - girl are not only valuable relics but also treasurable cultural resources.
