Lifts up his burning head, each under eye,
Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,
Serving with looks his sacred majesty,
And having climbed the steep-up heavenly hill,
Resembling strong youth in his middle age,
Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,
Attending on his golden pilgrimage:
But when from highmost pitch with weary car,
Like feeble age he reeleth from the day,
The eyes (fore duteous) now converted are
From his low tract and look another way:
So thou, thy self out-going in thy noon,
Unlooked on diest unless thou get a son.

Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved

A traditional Stellis holiday that takes place once every three years. There are many versions of its origin but the most widely accepted one is the following:

In the time when people still believed in ghosts and spirits, it is said that there was a handsome and kind god known as Sommer who was in charge of summer. Each year, although life flourishes during the summer, the temperature still reaches high levels. Sommer would then take the form of a mortal and descend to the mortal world to inspect how things are going.
One summer, when he arrived in the mortal world, he heard giggles in the woods. People didn't usually venture outdoors during the day as it can get really hot. Sommer got suspicious and moved closer to the source of the voice. It was then that he discovered a creek that runs through the woods. A few branches of bamboo are placed along the creek to draw water from it so the women and children wouldn't have to repeatedly bend down to pick up water to play with. Groups of scholars and students in white walking upstream would write words of poetry on the fallen leaves and place them into the creek. Another would pick up the leaf and make their own addition to the poem. The activity would repeat and the fun continues. It is unbelievable that a mountain creek has attracted so many and relieved them from the heat.
Sommer stands shocked. After a series of questioning, he finally finds out that the idea was thought up by a woman named Eve.
Eve is a girl that grew up in the mountains free from all restrictions. She stumbled upon the spring water here one day and couldn't bear to watch the villagers suffer in the heat, so she decided to bring the villagers to the creek and came up with ideas for games to help them pass the time while hiding from the heat.
When he met Eve, she was leaning over the creek washing chiffon while humming a tune. Sensing Sommer's presence, Eve is startled and accidentally drops her chiffon into the stream. Sommer picks up the chiffon from the stream and returns it to her. This was their first meeting. Eve was starstruck to see a man with a face that only existed in dreams and pictures, with a presence like no other. From that moment on, Eve's heart is like the chiffon that had flowed towards Sommer, only this time, it stayed with him instead.
However, since the beginning of time, it has always been impossible for mortals and Gods to share a life together. Eve's love at first sight was destined to be unfruitful. She has never uttered a word of her feelings since the simple glance by the creek but only in writing, in letters she wrote and never mailed. Time flies and three years go by. Sommer comes across the creek once again to find people still playing and conjuring poems by the creek. However, the girl with the chiffon is nowhere to be seen. A person by the creek spots Sommer and finds his appearance to be a shockingly similar resemblance to the descriptions Eve once made. The person brings Sommer to Eve's residence. Only then did Sommer know that the beautiful girl had passed due to illness and left only stacks of letters behind.
As for what happened next, no one knows. Some say that Sommer finished reading all the letters and found himself crying. Only then did he realize that Eve wasn't the only one that was taken away the day they first met. Others say that Sommer didn't open the letters but turned them into rainwater to cool the people with a flick of his wrist. However, what is certain is that after what happened, Sommer no longer looks after summer and has become the god in charge of marriage. Wherever he goes, no matter what hardships the couples around him are facing, they are destined to share a wonderful life.

Time continues and the actual events of the time are no longer known. However, to remember what Eve has done for the people, the people made the day Eve and Sommer first met the day of the Moonlit Eve Festival and celebrated it once every three years for their separation of three years.
People hope to celebrate summer, love, and everything that is not to be missed.
