This article made a relevance study of the Cowhand(Qianniu) and Weaver Maid(Zhinü)'s myth between China and Korea with a synchronic and diachronic method. In the synchronic viewpoint, the thorough classifications are given according to a recently published collection on the Cowhand and Weaver Maid's myth in China. Depending on the space where the myth happens and characteristic of the heritance, this secondary data collection has been divided into two types, one is the myth of the Cowhand and Weaver Maid in heaven, the other is on earth. The latter is the mainstream of current myth about Qianniu and Zhinü, but the former must not be overlooked, because it is similar to the myth of Qianniu and Zhinü in Korea, this paper will make a relevance research on the two texts. When the myth of Qianniu and Zhinü reached the Korean Peninsula, it was challenged from Neo- Confucianism, the culture characteristic of Qixi festival was therefore seriously undermined, this story only circulated among the intellectual at that time, appearing a trend of intellectual idealism. Gradually it was becoming a formality, but Qianniu and Zhinü's love story and the plot that the couple could meet on the Milky Way only once a year, has lodged itself in the public mind and still in effect today.
