Chang 'e is the wife of Hou Yi. She is beautiful and kind, and has a special love for the moon. One day, Hou Yi got a bag of elixirs, which he could eat and ascend to heaven. However, Chang 'e did not share the secret with Hou Yi, but swallowed all the elixirs on the full moon night alone. Her body became as light as a feather and flew into the sky. In the process of soaring, she saw the moon, thought it was so beautiful, and decided to live on it. From then on, Chang 'e lived on the moon and became the goddess of the moon.

WU GANG is an ordinary woodcutter, because his wife Chang 'e ascended to heaven and became immortal, and he is very envious. One day, he met a fairy named WU GANG in the garden of the Moon Palace. When the immortal saw his mind, he told him a secret: there is a magical osmanthus tree in the garden of the Moon Palace. Just cut off its trunk and you will get eternal power. WU GANG agreed without thinking. But when he really cut down the laurel tree, he found that it healed immediately. It turned out that this laurel tree was used to test his sincerity.
The important influence of Mid-Autumn Festival
As one of the four traditional festivals in China, various festivals and customs of Mid-Autumn Festival are widely spread all over the world, which has a great influence on all parts of the world, especially on countries with Chinese cultural atmosphere. There are probably two ways to spread Mid-Autumn Festival customs: one is that China is an economic power and a cultural power, and other countries, especially those in the Han cultural circle around East Asia, follow suit and pursue its culture.
According to historical research, the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread to Japan, the Korean Peninsula, Vietnam and other places since the Tang Dynasty. The other is spread abroad with people who have settled or lived abroad. While displaying the cultural charm of traditional festivals in China, they also infiltrated and influenced the residents in their places of residence, and the traditional festivals in China also had world significance.
