What fairy tales are there?

Legend has it that there were ten suns in the sky in ancient times, all of whom were sons of the Eastern Heaven Emperor. These ten suns and their mother, the wife of the Emperor of Heaven, live on the edge of the East China Sea. She often bathes ten children in Donghai, China, the easternmost part of the world. After bathing, let them perch on the tree like birds. Because the image center of each sun is a bird, the big tree becomes their home. Nine suns perched on the shorter branches, and the other perched on the treetops. When the dawn needs the morning light, the sun perched on the treetops will ride a two-wheeled vehicle, cross the sky, illuminate the world and spread light and heat to the whole world. The ten suns change every day and take turns to be on duty, which is orderly and harmonious between heaven and earth. People live happily and harmoniously on the earth. Like neighbors and friends, people live together, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and live a happy life. People and animals can live in harmony. At that time, people were grateful to the sun for bringing them time, light and joy, and often kowtowed to heaven.

However, such days are too long, and these ten suns are tired. They want to travel around the sky together, and they think it must be interesting. So, when the dawn came, ten suns climbed onto the two-wheeled vehicle together and embarked on a journey across the sky. As a result, people and everything on earth can't stand it. Ten suns are like ten fires. The heat they released together scorched the earth and burned many people and animals. The forest caught fire and all the trees, crops and houses were burned to ashes. Those people and animals, pigs and wolves who were not burned to death in the fire ran around frantically looking for shelter and life-saving water and food.

When the river dries up, the ocean faces drying up, all the fish die, and the monsters in the water climb ashore to steal food. Crops and orchards withered and burned, and food sources for people and animals were cut off. People are either burned alive by the heat of the sun or eaten by wild animals. People are struggling in the fire, praying for the gift of God!

At this time, there was a handsome young hero named Hou Yi. He is an archer, and his archery is superb. He was summoned by the Emperor of Heaven and accepted the mission of driving away the sun. Seeing people living in a sea of fire, he couldn't bear it, so he made up his mind to shoot out the extra nine suns and help people out of their misery.

Then, Houyi climbed ninety-nine mountains, crossed ninety-nine rivers, crossed ninety-nine canyons, came to the East China Sea, and climbed a mountain, at the foot of which was the vast sea. Hou Yi opened a crossbow with a force of ten thousand Jin, took a sharp arrow with a weight of one thousand Jin, aimed it at the burning sun in the sky, and shot it out with a swish. The first sun was shot down. Hou Yi opened his crossbow again, took a sharp arrow, and shot it with a buzz, shooting down two suns at the same time. Now, there are seven suns in the sky staring at their red eyes. Hou Yi felt that these suns were still very hot and shot the third arrow violently. This arrow hit four suns. The other suns trembled with fear and kept spinning. In this way, Houyi is one branch after another.

Shoot arrows at the sun one by one, without missing a hair, and shoot off nine suns. Nine suns shot by arrows died one after another. Their feathers fell to the ground, and their light and heat disappeared bit by bit. Until the last sun was left, he was so scared that he continued to contribute light and heat to the earth and everything according to Hou Yi's instructions.

Since then, the sun rises from the seaside in the east every day and sets from the mountains in the west at night, warming the world, making everything full of vitality and people live and work in peace and contentment.

The Goddess Chang's fly to the moon

Hou Yi made great achievements in the world and was respected and loved by the people, but he killed the son of the Emperor of Heaven, who blamed him and demoted him and Chang 'e to the mortal world. Many people with lofty ideals come here to study and be teachers. The treacherous and cunning Meng Peng also mixed in.

Hou Yi felt sorry for Chang 'e, and spent all his time with his wife except hunting, and said, "Heaven is hierarchical, but he is also at ease on earth. However, mortals have to die. If you want to live forever, you must cross the weak water, turn over the volcano, climb the Kunlun Mountain, and ask the Western Queen Mother for the elixir. "

With its extraordinary strength and superhuman will, Hou Yi crossed the Enzan Ijuin and weak water, climbed the cliff and reached the top of Kunlun Mountain. The Queen Mother of the West admires Hou Yi's actions and sympathizes with his experience, but there is only one kind of elixir left. She said, "The elixir of life is made from the fruit of immortality, which blooms every three thousand years, bears fruit every three thousand years, and then takes three thousand years to refine this medicine. There is only one left, both of them can live forever, and one person can ascend to heaven and become immortal by eating alone. "

Hou Yi came back to discuss with his wife, Chang 'e, to find an auspicious day to share the food, and to temporarily give the elixir to Chang 'e for safekeeping. Chang 'e hid the medicine in the dresser's treasure chest, but Meng Peng saw it.

When Hou Yi led his followers out hunting, Meng Peng with ulterior motives pretended to be ill and stayed. Shortly after Hou Yi led the crowd to leave, Meng Peng broke into the backyard of the back room with a sword in his hand, threatening Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e knew that she was no match for Meng Peng. In times of crisis, she made a decisive decision, turned around and opened the treasure chest, took out the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp.

Chang 'e swallowed the medicine and immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window and flew into the sky. Because Chang 'e was worried about her husband, she flew to the nearest moon and became a fairy.

In the evening, when Hou Yi came home, the maids cried and told what happened during the day. Hou Yi was surprised and angry, and drew his sword to kill the villain. Meng Peng has escaped. I was so angry that Hou Yi beat his chest and shouted. The grief-stricken Hou Yi looked up at the night sky and called the name of his beloved wife. At this time, he was surprised to find that today's moon is particularly bright and bright, with a swaying figure resembling Chang 'e.

Hou Yi hurriedly sent someone to Chang 'e's favorite back garden, set up a table sweetmeats, put on her favorite honey-eating fresh fruit, and offered a memorial service to Chang 'e at the Moon Palace.

After hearing the news that the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon became an immortal, people made an incense table under the moon and prayed for good luck and peace to the kind Chang 'e.

Since then, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai has spread among the people.
