It is also said in the Book of Stories of Mountains: Wuyi Mountain was named Wuyijun, and Qin Shihuang was two years old. One day, he told the people to meet at the top of the mountain. On this day, the people at the foot of the mountain gathered at the top of the mountain, and sure enough, they saw a green house hall on the mountain, where the gods were divided into men and women. As if I still heard voices and musical instruments in the air, but no one was there.
(2) Tang Minghuang visited the Moon Palace. According to Tang Yi's history, "Luo Gongyuan, a native of Ezhou, played the moon in the palace on the mid-autumn night of Kaiyuan, and said,' Can your majesty swim from the minister's moon?' I took a laurel stick and threw it into the air, and turned it into a bridge. Its color was like silver. I asked the emperor to board it. It was about dozens of miles, and it was dazzling. The cold invaded people, so I went to Dacheng Que. Gong Yuan said,' This moon palace is also here.' See hundreds of fairies and sing in chorus. The emperor doesn't know its title. Ask,' colorful plumage also.' Di Mi remembered his tone and returned. However, I care about the bridge and decrease with the steps. That is, call the Lingguan, and make a song of clothes and feathers according to its tone. "
(3) the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon: According to legend, in the Xia Dynasty, Hou Yi, the monarch of a poor country, relied on his good shooting to alienate the virtuous ministers, listened to rumors and brutally oppressed the people. His wife Chang 'e, beautiful and virtuous, often disagreed with what Hou Yi did.
One day, the Queen Mother of the West sent someone to send Hou Yi the elixir of immortality. Chang 'e was afraid that Hou Yi would really live forever after taking the medicine, and oppressed the people for a long time, so she stole the fairy medicine and flew to the Moon Palace to become immortal.
Later generations feel the kindness of Chang 'e and feel sorry for her loneliness in Guanghan Palace. There is a poem that says:
The mica screen was stained with a thick candle, and the milky way gradually tilted the morning star.
Chang' e should regret stealing the elixir, clear sea and clear sky at night!
(4) Gift of moon cakes: It is said that in the 10th year of Yuan Shizu to Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Hongfan soldiers were sent to the mountains, Wen Tianxiang was captured, Lu Xiufu committed suicide by jumping into the sea with King Wei on his back, and the foundation of the Song Dynasty was completely defeated. However, loyal people all over the country were determined to recover, and the Mid-Autumn Festival event was scheduled, and the person in charge made round cakes with flour and sugar. A leaflet "Killing Tartars on the night of August 15th" was hidden in the cake and distributed to all families, named "Festival Ceremony".
At that time, the common people not only cherished the pain of the country's destruction, but also hated the brutality of the Yuan Dynasty. Sure enough, according to the leaflet, they gathered in the uprising on the night of August 15, but unfortunately the organization was not strict and they lacked combat experience, and they were eventually annihilated by the Yuan soldiers.
This is the origin of sending moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
