According to legend, in the past, there were ten suns in the sky in a certain year. They smoked directly on the earth, and the sea water dried up. The people could not live longer.
This incident alarmed a hero named Hou Yi. He climbed the top of Kunlun, transported his power, opened the bow, and shot nine extra suns.
Hou Yi made great contributions and was respected and loved by the people. Many aspiring people come to worship and learn. Peng Meng, who is treacherous and guilty, is also coming.
Soon after, Hou Yi married a beautiful and kind wife, named Chang E. In addition to teaching the skills of hunting, he is always with his wife, and people envy the loving couples.
One day, Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit his friends, and he happened to meet the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother gave him two great medicines. Eat one,you can live forever, and two,you can go to heaven as gods.
However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife and had to hand over the undead medicine to his wife for safekeeping. Chang E hid the medicine in the treasure chest of the dressing table, but it was seen by Peng Meng. Three days later, Hou Yi led all the disciples out to hunt. Peng Meng pretended to be sick and stayed. It’s easy to fool Hou Yi.
Shortly after they left, Peng Meng took the sword into the backyard of Hou Yi’s house, and forced Chang E to hand over the undead medicines. Chang E knew that she was not Jack's opponent. When she was in a crisis, she immediately turned to open the treasure chest, and took out the undead medicines and swallowed them.
Chang E swallowed the medicine, and the body immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window, and flew to the sky. Because she was worried about her husband, she hugged the rabbit and flew to the moon closest to the earth to become a fairy.
In the evening, after Hou Yi returned home, the maids cried out what happened during the day. Hou Yi was both shocked and angry, and he took the sword to kill the villains. Peng Meng had already escaped. Hou Yi, who is grieved, looks up at the night sky and calls for the name of her beloved wife. At this time, he was surprised to find that today's moon is extraordinarily bright, and there is a swaying figure that looks like Chang E. Chang E look at my husband every day in the moon.
Afterwards, Hou Yi hurriedly sent people to his back garden, put on the incense case, put on her favorite honey food and moon cakes, and commemorated his love in the moon palace.
After the people heard that Chang E had flown to the moon and became a fairy, they set up a fragrant case under the moon and prayed for good fortune to the kindness. Since then, the custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival to worship the moon has spread among people.
