According to legend, after Houyi shot the sun, he got a pack of elixir from the Queen Mother and gave it to his wife Chang 'e for safekeeping. Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by the villain, who took advantage of Houyi to go hunting and forced Chang 'e to hand over the fairy medicine. Chang 'e swallowed the fairy medicine and hurried to the moon.
When Hou Yi came back, he could only look up at the night sky, call his wife to the figure in the middle of the month, put on incense tables, fruits and sacrifices, and go to the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon in the distance. In this way, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai has been passed down from generation to generation.
Chang 'e is the moon fairy in China mythology. In The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the wife of the medieval Emperor Hou Yi, whose real name was Heng E (Heng E), was changed to Chang 'e in the Western Han Dynasty to avoid the taboo of China Emperor Liu Hengzhi, also known as Chang 'e, and some people called her Chang 'e.
In myth, Di Jun lived in the Guanghan Palace above the moon because he took the elixir of life from the Queen Mother of the West.
Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no data to show that Chang 'e and Jun were husband and wife, and Guizang explained that they might be husband and wife by comparing divinatory symbols. In some folklore, Chang 'e and Xing Jun, the goddess of the Moon in Taoist mythology, are combined into one, and are honored as Yuan Jun of the Moon Palace after Huang Huasu's net victory in Yao Yuan, or Huang Junxiao and Wang Ming of the Moon Palace, which are female images.
