The Goddess Chang's fly to the moon
In ancient times, there were ten days in the sky at the same time, crops withered and people were miserable. A hero named Hou Yi has infinite power. He sympathized with the suffering people, drew his bow, shot down more than nine suns in one breath, and ordered the last sun to rise and set on time for the benefit of the people. Hou Yi's wife is called Chang 'e, and she spends all her time with her except hunting. Many people with lofty ideals came here to study as teachers, and Meng Peng with ulterior motives joined in.
One day, Hou Yi visited a friend in Kunlun Mountain and asked the Queen Mother for a bag of elixir. It is said that,
After taking this medicine, you can instantly ascend to heaven and become immortal. However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife and temporarily handed over the elixir to Chang 'e for collection. Chang 'e hid the medicine in the treasure chest of the dresser. Three days later, Hou Yi led his entourage out hunting, while Meng Peng pretended to be ill and didn't go out. Shortly after Hou Yi led the crowd to leave, Meng Peng broke into the backyard of the back room with a sword and threatened Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e knew that she was no match for Meng Peng. In a crisis, she turned to open the treasure box, 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.
In the evening, when Hou Yi came home, the maids cried and told what happened during the day. Hou Yi was surprised and angry, and drew his sword to kill the villain. Meng Peng has escaped. Hou Yi was so angry that he looked up at the night sky and called for Chang 'e. At this time, he found that the moon today was exceptionally bright and there was a swaying figure resembling Chang 'e. Hou Yi missed his wife, so 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 sacrificed 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.
Osmanthus fragrans on the moon
There is a osmanthus tree on the moon. When the moon is full, it will sway gently in the breeze, and the sweet fragrance will disperse with the flowers. The girls listened to the old man's words and said, "Picking sweet-scented osmanthus on August 15 and grinding it with Xingu will eliminate disasters and diseases, and youth will last forever." The moon at that time was not as bright as it is now, and its color was dim.
On the evening of August 15 every year, after the moonlight illuminates the mountain in front of the village, the girls in Ah Mui gather in a rice mill and sing songs of harvest. Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a beautiful Hongqiao between Alishan and the moon, and it was not difficult to walk from the ground to the moon. Especially on the full moon night of August 15, there are many girls wearing colorful dago clothes on Alishan, carrying rattan baskets full of millet, climbing Hongqiao one by one and landing on the moon.
The girls boarded the Moon Palace, picked sweet-scented osmanthus and mixed it with millet. As soon as you hit me, you won the white rice, reflecting the bright moon. One day, there was a girl in the tribe who wanted to visit the Moon Palace in Hongqiao and collect a handful of sweet-scented osmanthus rice to cook porridge for her long-suffering mother.
She climbed onto Hongqiao with a heavy rattan basket on her back. Unexpectedly, just as she entered the moon, Hongqiao snapped. The girl thought that her mother was in tears and could never go back to her hometown. She pounded rice under the osmanthus tree every day, and the white rice was fine and even. Day after day, year after year, millet is pounded into white rice and white rice is pounded into fine powder.
On August 15th every year, when the moon is full, the girl misses her hometown and her relatives, so she sprinkles fine white powder on the earth, and the white rice noodles swirl down and turn into clear water, reflecting the scenery clearly. The girl looked at the quiet village and hut in the moonlight, silently wishing her father a long life, her mother a healthy life, a safe home and a bumper harvest every year. At this time, the old people in the tribe will also point to the moon and say to their descendants, "children, do you know why the moon is particularly bright on August 15?" It was my sister who missed her hometown on the moon and sprinkled white rice noodles on the earth! "
Legend of Yutu
Legend has it that there was a plague in Beijing one year, and many people fell ill at once, and no medicine was effective.
The people were in a hurry, so they had to set up an altar in the yard to burn incense for Yue Bai and ask Chang 'e for help. This day happens to be August 15. The moon is round and big, and Chang 'e is in the official position. By the bright moonlight, she could clearly see the disasters on the earth and the pleadings of ordinary people, and Chang 'e cried sadly. So, he sent the Jade Rabbit from the Moon Palace to the world to cure diseases and eliminate disasters for the people.
After being lit, Yutu became a beautiful girl. She came to Beijing on cloud nine in a white gauze skirt. She walked the streets and went door to door to see patients. The patient ate the fairy medicine she gave and suddenly felt refreshed. At that time, many people could go to the fields.
In order to thank Yutu for saving his life, people gave her money, but she refused. She refused to give her a gift. People always feel guilty, so they take out a lot of clothes for her. This time, no matter how Yutu shirked it, she had to accept it. That's it,
Yutu has to change clothes every time she goes to a house, sometimes men's clothes and sometimes women's clothes. Sometimes she looks like an oil seller, sometimes she looks like a vegetable seller, sometimes she looks like a little girl, sometimes she looks like an old woman ... overnight, she traveled to thousands of households and changed countless costumes, and people praised this "ever-changing" doctor.
After running all night, Yutu finally cured the last patient before dawn.
She was sleepy and tired and fell asleep under a big locust tree. Because I was so tired, I showed my true colors in a deep sleep, revealing two big ears on my head. People in the street gathered in surprise, looking at the girl with rabbit face and looking up at the moon that is about to disappear in the morning light. People suddenly understood: this is the jade rabbit on the moon, which brings good luck to the people in our capital!
The news of "Jade Rabbit Descending from Earth" spread all over Beijing like a gust of wind, and immediately caused a sensation in the ruling and opposition circles. From now on, every August 15, Beijing residents will pay homage to "male prostitute" and "grandma rabbit" to remember Yutu's kindness in treating diseases and eliminating disasters for the people.
Wugang cut laurel
WU GANG in The Worse Gate is close to Chang 'e on the moon, but he often hangs to greet Chang 'e and neglects his duty.
When the Jade Emperor knew about it, he was very angry and sent WU GANG to cut down a big tree called laurel on the moon. If WU GANG hadn't cut down the laurel tree, he wouldn't have returned to the worse gate, and he wouldn't have seen 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. So, 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, 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 moon tree. Only on August 16 every year will a leaf fall from the moon to the ground. Whoever finds this laurel leaf will get inexhaustible gold and silver jewelry.
Wugang cut laurel
According to legend, osmanthus trees in front of Guanghan Palace on the moon are flourishing, reaching more than 500 feet. There is a man who often cuts, but after each cut, the cut place closes immediately.
For thousands of years, this laurel tree can never be cut down.
It is said that the person who cut down trees was WU GANG, a native of Xihe in Han Dynasty. He used to be a woodcutter on earth, but he didn't like being a woodcutter, so he asked the white-haired fairy to teach him magic, but he didn't learn it for a long time. Later, he asked the white-haired fairy to teach him to wander to the moon because it refused to concentrate on his studies. So the white-haired fairy was very angry and left him in the Moon Palace, saying, "If you are calm. Every time WU GANG cuts it for a period of time, the osmanthus tree will heal automatically. Day after day, year after year, WU GANG's wish to cut down osmanthus trees still hasn't come true. He kept cutting down osmanthus trees, and the osmanthus trees kept healing.
In the poems of the great poet Li Bai, there is a record that "if you want to be in the middle of the month, you will pay for the cold."

The story of Dixin is a song by Stuart Wang Yun in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. She is very beautiful. She looks very beautiful. When The Story Of Diu Sim was in the back garden of Yue Bai, a breeze suddenly blew and a cloud covered the bright moon. At this time, Yun3 just saw it. In order to publicize how beautiful her daughter is, Wang Yun told everyone that my daughter is more beautiful than the moon, but the moon can't, so she quickly hid behind the cloud. So The Story Of Diu Sim is called "Moon Pass".
At that time, Wang Yun saw that the Eastern Han Dynasty was manipulated by treacherous court official Dong Zhuo, and burned incense and prayed under the moon, hoping to worry about his master. Wang Yun saw that Dong Zhuo was going to usurp the Eastern Han Dynasty and set up a series of stratagems. Wang Yunxian secretly promised Lu Bu the story of Diusim and dedicated it to Dong Zhuo of the Ming Dynasty. Lyu3 bu4 hero boy, Dong Zhuo cunning. In order to win over Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo accepted Lu Bu as his adopted son. Both of them are lecherous. From then on, the story of Diusim wandered between the two, with Lyu3 bu4 flirting and Dong Zhuo charming. The two of them were fascinated.
After listening to Dong Zhuo's story, Lu Bu was dissatisfied with her throwing her into the house. One day, Lu Bu took Dong Zhuo to court, visited the Story of Diusim in Dong Zhuo's mansion, and invited Feng Yiting to meet him. The story of Diusim met Lu Bu, who pretended to cry and said that he was occupied by Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu was very angry. The story of Diusim, the story of Yue Bai, when Dong Zhuo ran into him when he returned to his office, he angrily grabbed Lu Bu's square painting and stabbed him, and Lu Bu left despondently. After that, the two men were suspicious of each other, and Wang Yun persuaded Lu Bu to eradicate Dong Zhuo.
Moon cake uprising
It is said that eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the broad masses of the people in the Central Plains could not bear the cruel rule of the ruling class in the Yuan Dynasty and rose up against the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang joined forces with various resistance forces to prepare for the uprising. However, the officers and men of the imperial court searched very closely and it was very difficult to pass on the news. Liu Bowen, a military strategist, came up with a plan and ordered his men to hide a note with the words "Uprising on the 15th of August" in the cake, and then sent people to the uprising troops in different places to inform them to respond to the uprising on the 15th of August. On the day of the uprising, all the rebels responded together.
Soon, Xu Da captured the Yuan Dynasty and the uprising was successful. When the news came, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and quickly sent a message saying that all the soldiers should have fun with the people in the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, and they should give the "moon cakes" secretly sent at the time of the war as seasonal cakes to the ministers. Since then, the making of "moon cakes" has become more complicated and varied. Since then, the custom of eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people.
