The stories about Mid-Autumn Festival are as follows:

1, the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon. Legend has it that Hou Yi shot down nine suns in the sky to kill pests for the people. Then I married the beautiful and kind Chang 'e girl, and the husband and wife were very loving. Once Hou Yi happened to meet the Queen Mother, so he asked her for two immortal elixirs and gave them to his wife Chang 'e for safekeeping after returning home. Three days later, Hou Yi led his disciples into the mountains to hunt, but one of his disciples named Feng Meng pretended to be ill and stayed at home.

It turns out that this Feng Meng is a villain. He peeped into the elixir kept by Chang 'e and wanted to take this opportunity to take it away. Chang 'e was forced, so she took out two elixirs and swallowed them in one gulp. Then she flew out of the window lightly and flew to the sky and landed on the nearest moon. When Hou Yi came home and learned about it, he found that Feng Meng had already fled. He was so angry that he stamped his feet and beat his chest. He was heartbroken and shouted his wife's name to the sky. In the dim light, I saw a swaying figure on the moon resembling Chang 'e, so I flew towards the moon, but I couldn't catch up anyway.

2, Yutu smashed medicine. According to legend, besides Chang 'e, there is a rabbit on the moon, which is as white as jade, so people call it "Jade Rabbit". This jade rabbit often kneels on the ground with a jade pestle, and then makes pills. It is said that after taking this pill, he can live forever.

3. It is said that WU GANG, who was guarding the worse place, was very close to Chang 'e on the moon, because he often went to meet Chang 'e and neglected his duties. In a rage, the Jade Emperor sent WU GANG to cut down a tree called laurel in the moon. If he couldn't cut down the tree, he would never go back to the worse place, let alone meet Chang 'e. WU GANG cut down the tree for half a year, and finally it was almost cut down, but the Jade Emperor sent a crow to take away WU GANG's clothes hanging on the tree. When WU GANG recovered the clothes, he found that the cut tree had returned to its original appearance.

From then on, whenever WU GANG quickly cut down the tree, the crow would come. As long as WU GANG turned to look at it, the tree would be restored to its original state, and it would never be cut down.

4. Yue Bai, The Story Of Diu Sim. According to legend, The Story Of Diu Sim in the Three Kingdoms period was very beautiful and had the appearance of being truly beautiful. Legend has it that after The Story Of Diu Sim was born, the local peach blossoms and apricot blossoms were all blooming and thanking within three years; When The Story Of Diu Sim worships the moon at night, even Chang 'e feels ashamed and disappears in a hurry, which is also the origin of the idiom "Close the moon and feel ashamed of flowers". It is precisely because of The Story Of Diu Sim's beauty that Lu Bu, who was foolhardy, was puzzled and Wang Yun's serial stratagem was successful.

5. Moon cake uprising. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the people could not bear the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty, and all localities revolted against the Yuan Dynasty. Zhang Shicheng, a member of Gaoyou, took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to give each other wheat cakes in order to secretly connect the uprising teams in various places, and put a piece of paper in it to stipulate the Mid-Autumn Night Uprising. Since then, the custom of eating moon cakes for every household in the Mid-Autumn Festival has been formed.
