The Goddess Chang's fly to the moon

In ancient times, there were ten days in the sky at the same time, crops withered and people were miserable. A hero named Hou Yi has infinite power. He sympathized with the suffering people, drew his bow, shot down more than nine suns in one breath, and ordered the last sun to rise and set on time for the benefit of the people. Hou Yi's wife is called Chang 'e, and she spends all her time with her except hunting. Many people with lofty ideals came here to study as teachers, and Meng Peng with ulterior motives joined in.

One day, Hou Yi visited a friend in Kunlun Mountain and asked the Queen Mother for a bag of elixir. It is said that taking this medicine can instantly ascend to heaven and become immortal. However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife and temporarily handed over the elixir to Chang 'e for collection. Chang 'e hid the medicine in the treasure chest of the dresser. Three days later, Hou Yi led his entourage out hunting, while Meng Peng pretended to be ill and didn't go out. Shortly after Hou Yi led the crowd to leave, Meng Peng broke into the backyard of the back room with a sword and threatened Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e knew that she was no match for Meng Peng. In a crisis, she turned to open the treasure box, 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. Hou Yi was so angry that he looked up at the night sky and called for Chang 'e. At this time, he found that the moon today was exceptionally bright and there was a swaying figure resembling Chang 'e. Hou Yi missed his wife, so he sent someone to Chang 'e's favorite back garden, put a table of incense, put on Chang 'e's favorite honey and fresh fruit, and sacrificed Chang 'e in the moon palace. After hearing the news that the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon became an immortal, people set up 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.
