A boy-meets-girl story with a supernatural twist, the romantic legend behind Qixi Festival dates back to the Han Dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE). In recent times, Qixi Festival, also called Double Seventh Festival or Magpie Festival, has become known as Chinese Valentine’s Day.

Cupid plays no part in this tale. Instead, the myth involves Zhi Nu, a fairy weaver maid, and Niu Lang, a cow herder. They, a devoted couple with two children were torn apart by the goddess of heaven who can’t fathom why a fairy would marry a mere mortal. The goddess whisks Zhi Nu back to heaven and separates the heartbroken lovers forever by a river, later known as the Milky Way. Moved by their tears, the goddess allows the lovers to reunite once a year, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the traditional Chinese lunar calendar.

Their meeting spot, a bridge formed by magpies, is the inspiration for today’s Doodle. This year, Qixi Festival falls on August 9th.

Today marks the 4th day of the 2016 Doodle Fruit Games! For the next couple of weeks, we’ll journey to an otherwise unassuming fruit stand in Rio, where produce from all over the market competes for the title of freshest fruit. To play along, get the latest Google app on Android or iOS, and tap the Doodle. Learn more at g.co/fruit and let the games begin!

And now, a report from the field covering Day 4 of the action...

Lemon dives straight in with goggles and game face ON. Starting strong with a masterful dodge of ice chunks and a sharp swerve around rubber duckies, this citrus is demonstrating some serious zest. Lemon peels ahead, lapping the lowest time…but oh no! Ice ahead at the 60m mark. Will it be a sour fate? No! A tongue-tingling twist in the plot and Lemon escapes the squeeze. Left stroke, right stroke, the old “under over”—What. A. Splash. The juicy secret to victory? “It’s all about that daily rind,” reveals record-smashing Lemon.

Come back for the next couple weeks to keep up with all the action from the 2016 Doodle Fruit Games!
