Chang 'e, whose real name is Heng E, is a mythical figure in China and the wife of Da Yi. Da Yi was a figure in the period of Emperor Yao, while Hou Yi was a figure after Xia Qi. People often confuse the difference between Da Yi and Hou Yi. This is the answer of textual criticism.
Folklore is:
According to legend, in ancient times, there were ten days in the sky at the same time, and the crops died in the sun, and the people were in poverty. A hero named Hou Yi was of infinite strength. He sympathized with the suffering people, climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, took full advantage of his divine power, opened his bow, shot down more than nine suns in one breath, and ordered the last sun to rise and fall on time for the benefit of the people.
Hou Yi was respected and loved by the people, and he married a beautiful and kind wife named Chang 'e. In addition to hunting, Hou Yi spent all his time with his wife, and people envied this beautiful and loving couple.
Many people with lofty ideals came here to study as a teacher, and Peng Meng, who had ulterior motives, also mixed in.
One day, Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek Tao. He happened to meet the Queen Mother who passed by and asked her for a pack of elixir. It is said that taking this medicine can immediately ascend to heaven and become immortal. However, Hou Yi could not bear to leave his wife, so he had to give the immortal medicine to Chang 'e for the time being. Chang 'e hid the medicine in the treasure box of the dresser, only to be seen by the villain Peng Meng. He wanted to steal the immortal medicine and become immortal himself.
Three days later, Hou Yi led his followers out hunting, and Peng Meng, who had ulterior motives, pretended to be ill and stayed. Soon after Hou Yi led the crowd away, Peng Meng broke into the backyard of the inner house with a sword in his hand, threatening Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e knew that she was no match for Peng Meng. When she was in a crisis, she made a decisive decision, turned around and opened 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 to the sky. Because Chang 'e was concerned about her husband, she flew to the nearest moon and became a fairy.
In the evening, when Hou Yi came home, the maids cried about what happened during the day. Hou Yi was both surprised and angry, and drew his sword to kill the villains. Peng Meng fled early. Hou Yi was so angry and heartbroken that he looked up at the night sky and called out the name of his beloved wife. At this time, he was surprised to find that today's moon was exceptionally bright and bright, and there was a swaying figure resembling Chang 'e. He chased after the moon desperately, but he chased three steps, the moon retreated three steps, he retreated three steps, and the moon advanced three steps, but he couldn't catch up with him anyway.
Hou Yi had no choice but to miss his wife, so he had to send someone to Chang 'e's favorite back garden, put on a table sweetmeats, put on her favorite honey and fresh fruits, and pay a remote sacrifice to Chang 'e who was attached to him in the moon palace. After hearing the news that the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon became an immortal, people set up incense tables under the moon to pray for good luck and peace to the kind Chang 'e.
Looking up at the bright moon, we can see that there are some dark shadows. In our country, it is said that this is WU GANG cutting Guangxi. In the Tang Dynasty, the myth of WU GANG cutting laurel was deduced. It is said that the laurel tree was as high as 500 feet in the middle of the month. This laurel tree is not only tall, but also has a magical self-healing function. There was a Xihe man named Wu Minggang, who was originally a woodcutter. He was obsessed with fairy tales, but he refused to concentrate on his studies all the time. Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven was so angry that he stayed in the Moon Palace and ordered him to cut down osmanthus trees in the Moon Palace, saying, "If you cut down osmanthus trees, you will get fairy tales." However, every time WU GANG cut an axe, the tree wound healed immediately. Day after day, Wu Gang's desire to cut laurel remained unfulfilled. Therefore, WU GANG cut laurel in the Moon Palace all the year round, but he could not cut down the tree. And he kept cutting it down.
So the laurel tree is 500 feet high, and one foot is 3.33333 meters, so there is a height of 1600 meters.
