中国人自古以来就在中秋节庆祝丰收,这与北美地区庆祝感恩节的风俗十分相似。
Legend says that there were once ten suns in the sky, which made plants wither, water in rivers and lakes run dry. It’s too hot to live on the sun.
This event shocked a hero named Hou Yi, who climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountains, draw his bow and shot down nine extra SUNS at one go.
Houyi thus was respected and honored by people as a hero. Young men who were fond of archery flocked to him to learn shooting.
Houyi later married a pretty lady called Chang E and lived a happy life with her.
One day on his way to a friend’s home in the Kunlun Mountain, Houyi came across the Queen of Heaven.
Houyi was enamored of the happy life with his wife and wanted to be with her forever so he asked the The Queen of Heaven to give him some elixir.
The elixir was strictly controlled off normal people. The Queen of Heaven, however, moved by Houyi’s contribution and affection to love and gave him one.
However, the content was only enough for one person and Houyi was reluctant to leave his beloved wife alone on the earth so he gave the elixir to Chang E to preserve and wanted to seek another one for his wife.
Chang E carefully stored it in a wooden box while her action was peeked by the evil Pengmeng -one of his husband’s adherents.
No sooner as Houyi left his house, Fengmeng knocked into the courtyard where Chang E was working. He wielded his glitter sword and threatened Chang E to give him the elixir.
Chang E had no better idea than swallowed the elixir herself.As soon as she took it, Chang E flew from her house toward the heaven and finally landed on the moon.
Houyi was told what was happening in the evening when he returned home from bumper hunting. He was astonished, anguished and then very anger so he decided to kill the evil man. But Fengmeng had fled away.Each year on the 15th day of the eighth month, when the moon is at its fullest and brightest, people look at the moon and try to see it the image of a beautiful maiden
