According to legend, in ancient times, ten suns suddenly appeared in the sky, which made the earth smoke and the people really couldn't live.

There is a powerful hero named Hou Yi, who is determined to relieve this kind of suffering for the people. Hou Yi climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, exhausted all his strength, and bowed his bow to shoot down nine suns in one breath. He said to the last sun in the sky, "From now on, you must get up and set the sun on time every day to benefit the people!" " "

Everyone respects Hou Yi for hurting others and himself. Many people worship him as a teacher and learn martial arts from him. There was a man named Feng Meng, who was treacherous and greedy. He followed the crowd to worship at Houyi's house.

Hou Yi's wife Chang 'e is a beautiful and kind woman. She often helps poor villagers, and the villagers like her very much. One day Kunlun mountain c

One day, the Queen Mother of the West on Kunlun Mountain gave Hou Yi a fairy medicine, which not only made him immortal, but also promoted him to immortality. But Hou Yi didn't want to leave Chang 'e, so she hid the fairy medicine in a treasure chest.

I don't know how this matter was known by Feng Meng who was bent on getting Houyi's fairy medicine. /kloc-On the morning of August in 0/5, Hou Yi wanted to take his disciples out, but Feng Meng pretended to be ill and stayed. At night, Feng Meng rushed into Houyi's house with a sword in his hand, threatening Chang 'e to hand over the fairy medicine. Chang 'e thought, wouldn't it harm more people to let such people take the elixir of life? So he dealt with Feng Meng tactfully. When Feng Meng saw that Chang 'e refused to hand over the elixir, he rummaged around. Seeing that the treasure box was about to be found, Chang 'e hurried forward, took out the fairy medicine and swallowed it in one gulp.

Chang 'e ate the fairy medicine and suddenly flew leisurely. She flew out of the window, over the countryside covered with Yin Hui, higher and higher. There is a bright moon hanging in the blue night sky, and Chang 'e has been flying towards the moon.

When Hou Yi came back from the door, he didn't see his wife Chang 'e. He rushed out of the door anxiously, only to see the bright moon in the sky, the shadow on the round moon dancing and a jade rabbit jumping around under the tree. Ah! My wife stood by a laurel tree and stared at herself affectionately. "Chang 'e! Chang' e! " Hou Yi repeatedly called, desperate to chase the moon. But he chased three steps forward, the moon retreated three steps, and he couldn't catch up.

The villagers miss the kind Chang 'e very much, put Chang 'e's favorite food in the yard and bless her from afar. Since then, every August 15 has become the Mid-Autumn Festival that people look forward to reunion.
