Three classic children’s stories about the Mid-Autumn Festival

Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky will keep her heart in mind every night.

In ancient times, there were 10 suns in the sky, so crops could not grow and the people were in dire straits. Hou Yi (not the same person who seized power from the Xia Dynasty) shot down nine of the suns with his bow and arrow. Hou Yi was so loved by the people for his benefit to the people that the Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun Mountain even gave Hou Yi an elixir of immortality. And Hou Yi had a beautiful wife Chang'e (changed to Chang'e to avoid the taboo of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, or Chang'e), so he did not want to become an immortal. At this time, many people defected to Hou Yi. One of them, Peng Meng, wanted to steal the elixir. When Hou Yi went out, he forced Chang'e to hand over the elixir. Chang'e was so anxious that she swallowed the elixir in one gulp and flew to the moon.

It is said that Chang'e secretly took the elixir of immortality. Yi asked the Queen Mother of the West for the elixir of immortality, and Chang'e stole it and flew to the moon. She was sad that there was no way to continue. From "Huainanzi" of the Western Han Dynasty.
