Myths and legends about Mid-Autumn Festival?
1, WU GANG won the championship.
WU GANG, the commander of the worse heaven, is close to Chang 'e on the moon, but he often neglects his duty because he missed meeting Chang 'e. When the Jade Emperor knew this, he sent WU GANG to cut down a big tree called laurel on the moon in a rage. He also said that if WU GANG didn't cut down the laurel tree, he wouldn't be able to return to the worse place to meet Chang 'e.
WU GANG cut and cut for half a year from winter to summer. When the tree was about to be cut down, the Jade Emperor sent a crow to the osmanthus tree, and with a swish, he took WU GANG's coat hanging on the tree. WU GANG immediately put down his axe and went after the crow. After the clothes were taken back, WU GANG returned to the tree and saw that all the branches and leaves that had been cut were born on the tree again. From then on, whenever WU GANG wanted to cut off all the branches and leaves of the osmanthus tree, the crow stood on the tree and shouted "Wow". As long as WU GANG stops his axe and takes a look, the tree will grow branches again.
In this way, year after year, WU GANG cut down more trees than this laurel tree. Only on August 16 every year will a leaf fall from the moon to the ground. Who is the most industrious, Jin Yezi will float to whom, and whose family will have endless wealth.
2. the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon
A long time ago, Hou Yi made a great contribution for shooting Hitachi. Soon, Hou Yi married a beautiful and kind woman? Wife, named Chang 'e. People envy this beautiful and loving couple. One day, Hou Yi met the Queen Mother in Kunlun Mountain and asked her for a pack of elixirs. It is said that taking this medicine can instantly ascend to heaven and become immortal. However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife, so he had to temporarily give the elixir to Chang 'e. Chang 'e hid the medicine in the dresser's treasure chest, but Meng Peng saw it. Three days later, Hou Yi went out hunting, and Meng Peng, who had ulterior motives, pretended to be ill and stayed. Shortly after Hou Yi left, Meng Peng broke into the backyard of the back room with a sword in his hand, threatening Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e knew that she was no match for Meng Peng. In times of crisis, she made a decisive decision, turned around and opened the treasure chest, took out the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp. Chang 'e swallowed the medicine and immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window and flew into the sky. Because Chang 'e was worried about her husband, she flew to the nearest moon and became a fairy.
Later, when Hou Yi missed his wife, he sent someone to Chang 'e's favorite back garden, put a table of incense, put on Chang 'e's favorite honey and fresh fruit, and offered a remote sacrifice to Chang 'e in the moon palace. 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.
3. Jade rabbit mashes medicine
According to legend, three immortals became three poor old people, begging for food from foxes, monkeys and rabbits. Both the fox and the monkey provide food to help the old man, but only the rabbit doesn't. Later, the rabbit told the old people, "Eat me." They jumped into the fire, and the immortals were greatly moved, so they sent the rabbit to Guanghan Palace and turned it into a jade rabbit. Later, Jade Rabbit accompanied Chang 'e to drum up the elixir of life in Guanghan Palace.
Xuanzong visited the Moon Palace in the evening.
According to legend, Taoist priests Xuanzong, Shen and Hong all enjoy the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Suddenly, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty put forward the idea of visiting the Moon Palace, so Shi Tianzhao did it, and the three of them began to go to Qingyun and roam the Moon Palace. However, the palace is heavily guarded and cannot enter, so it can only overlook the imperial city of Chang 'an. At this moment, I suddenly heard the voice of a fairy. Tang Xuanzong was always familiar with melody, so he remembered it. This is precisely "this song should only be in the sky, and the world can listen to it several times!" Later, Xuanzong recalled Xian 'e's music and singing in the Moon Palace, composed and choreographed his own music, and created a famous "colorful feather" in history.
