Extract

No. 6174 of Giles's Catalogue of the Chinese manuscripts from Tun-huang states that on the back of this manuscript there is a ‘short text relating to the legend of the Weaving Maiden and the Cowherd’. On inspection this turns out to be a series of verses, two for each of the five watches of the night, headed Hsi ch‘iu t‘ien ‘Eejoicing in the autumn sky’
