Chinese Mythology

The Folk Gods and Spirits of the Middle Kingdom

NIU LANG

Chinese Love God ❤️

Minor (but still very sweet) God of Love

He is the star Altair in the constellation Aquila. Once upon a time he was a humble cowherd, but when you peep upon bathing Goddesses and steal their clothes, life can never be the same again.

See Zhinü for the whole story.
