1, the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a man named Hou Yi who married a beautiful and kind wife named Chang 'e. Besides hunting, Hou Yi spent all his time with his wife. People admired this beautiful and loving couple. One day, Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek truth. He happened to meet the Queen Mother passing by and asked her 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, so he had to temporarily give the elixir to Chang 'e. Chang 'e hid the medicine in the dresser's treasure chest, but Meng Peng saw it. Three days later, Hou Yi led his entourage out hunting, while Meng Peng with ulterior motives pretended to be ill.

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. 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 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.

The archer Hou Yi saved the people and shot down nine suns. People all over the world thanked him for his kindness. In order to reward him, the Queen Mother took all the fairies to meet him on the hill where Houyi hunted.

At that time, Hou Yi was hunting in the deep mountains with black ears. The queen mother called Hou Yi to her side and ordered a fairy to hold out a dazzling little box, take out two kinds of herbs with unusual fragrance, and told Hou Yi, "When you go back, cook and swallow all the herbs, and you can become immortal." After receiving the elixir, Hou Yi thanked the Queen Mother and happily went home with black ears.

Hou Yi loved his wife very much, so he decided to share happiness with his wife Chang 'e and become immortal together. After returning home, he explained the matter to Chang 'e, left the black-eared hound behind, and went to the elders of the villagers to prepare to say goodbye to them.

According to Hou Yi's instructions, Chang 'e boiled all the medicines in water until Hou Yi came back to eat them together. But greedy, she smelled the scent of the fairy medicine and couldn't help eating one with a spoon. After eating, she only felt Shu Tai all over. It was so delicious that she couldn't help eating the last one.

It was dark, and Chang 'e came out to see her husband before he came back. Who knows, just go out, the body flutters with the wind. Black Ear, the hound, saw Chang 'e steal the elixir and ascend to heaven alone, so he barked and jumped into the house. He smelled the fragrance, grabbed the pot with one paw, licked the remaining soup clean, and then chased Chang 'e in the sky.

When Chang 'e heard the cry of black ears, she was surprised and scared, and hurriedly hid in the moon. But the black ear's hair stood on end, and his body became bigger and bigger. He jumped up and swallowed Chang 'e and the moon in one gulp.

At that time, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were enjoying the moon in the Heavenly Palace. When they suddenly saw that it was dark, they quickly sent a night watchman to check it out. The night watchman came back to report that the moon was swallowed by the black dog, so it was dark; Hearing this, the Jade Emperor angrily ordered the heavenly soldiers to catch the black dog.

When the black dog was caught, the Queen Mother recognized it as Houyi's hound black ear. She didn't know the reason until she asked, so she felt sorry for it and named it Tiangou to guard the worse gate. When Hale was blessed, he spit out the moon and Chang 'e, and Chang 'e was punished forever.
