The luminous night is a constellation _ what constellation is it?

Hui (かぐやひめ) is the moon goddess in the story of bamboo, the oldest Japanese literary work.

She was exiled to the mortal world for unknown crimes and was born in a bamboo forest. A kind bamboo cutter found her and brought her home to raise her.

This is the beginning of the whole bamboo story, which tells the story of this heavenly girl on earth in three parts: the birth of a bright night, the question of proposing marriage and returning to the moon.

Character correlation

Hui is the goddess of the Moon Palace, a role with divine color. When describing the Hui nationality, the author of Bamboo Slips endowed the Hui nationality with more "human nature" characteristics.

In the author's pen, Hui is not only a proud and intelligent girl who despises powerful people and defeats her admirers with wisdom, but also a affectionate girl who is full of filial piety to her adoptive parents.

The calmness, wit, contradiction and melancholy in Hui's character are expressed through her language, smile, behavior and psychological activities. With exquisite language skills and colorful words, the author depicts an ideal female image who resists power and strives for her own freedom. This is rare in ancient Japanese society.
