While the Mid-Autumn Festival came into being and flourished, the moon myths and legends also came into being with people's imagination and word-of-mouth, resulting in many new stories. Besides the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon and Wu Gang, we are familiar with them, there are also Tang Xuanzong's visit to the Moon Palace and Yang Guifei's appreciation of the moon. Whether absurd or not, it represents the ancients' yearning for a better life and their worship of the moon.
Among them, the story of Xuanzong's visit to the Moon Palace, one of the three legends of Mid-Autumn Festival, was widely circulated in the Tang Dynasty. According to Jiang Fang's "Fantasy Plays" in the Tang Dynasty, on the night of August 15th, Xuanzong was fascinated by looking at the moon and had the idea of visiting the Moon Palace, so he asked Tianshi to practice and come to the Moon Palace with Tianshi. Yue Xian in the Moon Palace was particularly beautiful, and the fairy told them that the music was called Ziyun Qu. Xuanzong knew the melody and memorized the tune, and returned to the mortal world to pass down this Yue Xian, named it "Dress in a Dress and Feather".
On the way back from the Moon Palace, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty passed through Luzhou City, overlooking the whole city, and saw the moonlight picturesque and the city was quiet. Tianshi asked Xuanzong to play music with Yu Di. After playing the song, several people threw money into the city. After more than ten days, the official residence in Luzhou reported that on the full moon night of August 15th, there was music coming from heaven and money falling over the city. This story is also recorded in the Tang Dynasty's notebook novel "Dragon City Record", which describes the scene of the Moon Palace, Su E and Yue Xian in more detail and vividly, and mentions that "the emperor wanted to go again the next night, but Tianshi laughed and thanked him." It means that visiting the moon palace is something that can only be done at a specific time "looking at the sun in August".
Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, landed on the moon with the help of "Tianshi", which is just people's imagination. However, Zhang Du's Xuan Shi Zhi in the Tang Dynasty recorded that some people could not only climb the moon palace, but also take it off. According to its records, during the Taihe period, there was a Zhou Sheng who learned Daoism and enjoyed the moon with his guests on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. At that time, the moonlight was crystal clear, and he said to the guests, I can pick the moon and put it in my arms. After that, Zhou Sheng took two ropes, tied hundreds of chopsticks to make a ladder, and climbed the ladder to get the moon. Suddenly it was dark and the air was dark. When he returned to the room, he said that the moon was in his clothes, and then he took out a small moon with a diameter of more than an inch from his arms. "One room is bright, and the cold enters the muscles and bones."
Even more bizarre is the story of the fairy marrying in the Miscellanies of Chengzhai written by Lin Kun in the Yuan Dynasty. Speaking of the Western Hills of Zhongling, every Mid-Autumn Festival, horses and chariots are noisy, and people who are famous for their noble and handsome people call on famous singers and dancers to dance and enjoy the moon in the moonlight. There is a scholar who is famous for his literary flute. When he saw it, he saw a singer with unparalleled beauty, and the songs she sang were also very unique: "If you can accompany the altar, you should get the literary flute to drive the colorful phoenix. It has its own embroidery and a tent, and Qiongtai is not afraid of frost and snow. " Wen Xiao suddenly realized that this woman might be a fairy from the Moon Palace, and they made eyes and looked around. After the song, the girl climbed through the pine forest, followed by Wen Xiao, who also climbed to the top of the mountain. Suddenly, the wind and rain suddenly broke out, and a fairy boy arrived with a heavenly book, and sentenced Wu Cailuan, a fairy, to be the wife of the people for her selfish desires. So, the fairy Cailuan married Wen Xiao and lived on the side of Zhongling Mountain.
