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.

He had a history of learning from immortals and was banished to order to cut down trees. Meaning, there are laurel trees and toads in the moon. It was said in previous books that the osmanthus tree was 500 feet high. There was a man named Wu Gang who cut down the tree. He made a mistake as a scholar, and God asked him to cut down the tree.

Taking this medicine can lead to immortality. According to legend, there is a rabbit in the moon, which is as white as jade, so it is called the Jade Rabbit.
