According to legend, after Hou Yi shot down nine suns in the sky, many people came to learn from their teachers. On this day, Hou Yi handed the elixir to his wife Chang 'e for safekeeping, which happened to be seen by Meng Peng. When Hou Yi went out hunting, Meng Peng threatened Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. At the critical moment, Chang 'e swallowed the medicine and flew to the sky. Because Chang 'e was worried about her husband, she flew to the nearest moon and became a fairy. 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.
