Compared with love stories in Western legends, the story of NiuLang and Zhi Nu seems not as intense or passionate. Love doesn't kill or break up the barrier between them. They just wait patiently on the riverbank, believing that their love can withstand their time apart.

In only a few Chinese folk love stories can be found a description of the physical appearances of the hero and heroine.

Chinese Ceremonies
The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the only Chinese festival devoted to love in the Lunar calendar.
Unlike St. Valentine's Day in Western countries there is not so much emphasis on giving chocolates, flowers and kisses. Instead, Chinese girls prepare fruits, melons and incense（熏香）as offerings to ZhiNu, the weaving maiden, praying to acquire high skills in needle-craft（裁缝），as well as hoping to find satisfactory husbands.
In the evening, people sit outdoors to observe the stars. Chinese grannies would say that, if you stand under a grapevine, you can probably overhear what Zhi Nu and NiuLang are talking about.
