Besides the story of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, what other legends about the moon are there?

In Archaean, there were two suns in the sky, which shone on the earth in turn, resulting in no distinction between day and night. Hot weather brings great inconvenience to human life. A couple worked hard in the farmland, putting the sleeping baby firmly beside the stone pile in the shade of the tree and covering it with palm leaves. Unexpectedly, he was still burned alive by the cruel sun and turned into a lizard hiding in the crack of the stone pile. The father was very angry when he knew it, and vowed to shoot down the sun to avenge his children.

Before embarking on the journey, my father planted an orange tree in front of his house and set out for the place where the sun rose, ready to seal it before the sun took off. My father, who was an accurate marksman, really hit one eye of the sun, and the light of the sun suddenly disappeared into the moon. The moon closed its eyes and reached out to grab people at random. Father escaped through his fingers because his palm was too big. Because one sun was shot on the moon and the other sun dared not take off to shine on the earth, the earth was dark and everyone could not go out to work, let alone find food. Life was very difficult. If people have to go out, they must first throw stones, and judge whether the road or the abyss lies ahead by the sound of the stones falling to the ground. A mountain Qiang who was out foraging was hit in the head by a stone thrown by someone, bleeding profusely. The mountain Qiang was in pain and gave an angry roar. At this moment, something strange happened. The hidden sun was scared away by the roar of Shanqiang, which made the sky shine on the earth again, and people resumed their normal lives, but Shanqiang left a beautiful scar on his forehead.

Later, the moon taught the father who shot at the sun all kinds of rituals and taboos, such as: don't be greedy for sweets when hunting and sowing sacrifices, otherwise you will starve or miss your prey; The child's sacrifice should be held at the full moon, otherwise the child will get sick and die. After my father returned to the tribe, he began to teach his people how to deal with sacrifices. When everyone has learned all the sacrificial ceremonies, the orange tree has grown into a big tree. Therefore, several communities of Bunun nationality will use orange leaves as sacrificial vessels when performing sacrificial ceremonies.

Legend of Gypsies-Children of the Moon

Once upon a time, there was a gypsy woman who had been married to her husband for many years and had no children. One night, she prayed to the moon to give her a child. Soon after, she got pregnant as she wished. However, when the child was born, they found that his eyes were gray and his skin was silver, not black skin and dark brown eyes. The gypsy was very angry and thought that his wife had betrayed him and wanted to kill the child.

The gypsy woman couldn't bear it, took the child to the mountain and abandoned him. The moon has taken care of the child since then. When the moon is full, it is the child who behaves well, and when the moon becomes a new moon, it is the child who cries. The moon made him a cradle to make him stop crying. Compare an albino child to a child of the moon.

3 Moon Goddess

Artemis, the goddess of the moon in ancient Greek mythology. She is the sister of Apollo, the sun god. She is beautiful and a very good archer. She is in charge of hunting, often accompanied by her beloved bow and hound. She drives a silver carriage through the night sky every day, representing the cold, loneliness and dead road at night. She is also the patron saint of unmarried girls-she herself is unmarried for life, and there is a sad story in it.

Poseidon, the sea king, had a son named Orion. He likes archery very much. He is a good hunter and likes to run wildly on the sea. The moon goddess likes Oreos very much. They know each other and love each other. They often hunt in the jungle together and run wildly at sea. Apollo, the goddess' brother, hated Oreon and disliked the relationship between his sister and Oreon, so he decided to get rid of Oreon. One day, when Oreon was flying on the sea, Apollo covered Oreon with golden light to hide him, so that no one could see Oreon's true face. Then he encouraged his sister, Moon Goddess, who likes archery, to take gold objects in the distance as targets. Of course, the moon goddess didn't know it was her brother's plot, so she shot an arrow and hit Oregon in the head. Later, when she learned that she had shot her sweetheart Olian, she fell into despair and cried day and night. In order to cherish her love for Oregon forever, she asked Zeus to lift Oregon to the sky, hoping that she could see it at any time when she was running in the sky in a silver carriage. Zeus accepted her request and turned Orion into a constellation in the sky. The goddess swore that she would never get married, and that she would stay with Oregon in the night sky forever.

There is a "story of the moon" among Hezhe people in Heilongjiang Province, northeast of China.

In ancient times, a woman went to the river to fetch water. She looked up at the moon in the sky and thought it was particularly lovely. She couldn't help thinking of her own life experience and all kinds of abuse and despair in her husband's family. She suddenly had an idea, why not ask the Moon Fairy to do me a favor and let herself leave this miserable world! When she began to pray for the moon god, to her great surprise, a blanket that didn't look like a blanket and a boat that didn't look like a boat floated from the distant river and soon came to her and stopped. She tried to stand on tiptoe. Strangely, her whole body tilted up unconsciously. It immediately lifted the woman into the air like magic, and she was scared and grabbed the tree around her. I don't know where she came from, but she uprooted the tree. At this time, the faster the flying carpet flies, the higher she flies. In this way, the woman quickly flew to the moon.

This legend is to tell everyone that those dark shadows on the moon are buckets, poles and trees that the woman and she brought to the moon. Of course, this is just a folk story. There are no such things on the moon, and there is no so-called moon god.

5 A myth of Gaoshan people in China is like this:

It's so dark between heaven and earth that people can only light a lamp. I don't know how many years passed, and I don't know what day it was. Suddenly, a very strong wind blew two people with torches into the sky, and two suns appeared in the sky. The two suns took turns shining on the earth, making people unable to sleep and the crops burnt. I don't know how long it took, but an archer with good archery hit one of the suns with a strong arrow. Since then, its light has weakened and turned into the moon.

Another myth of Gaoshan people says that the sun and the moon were changed by a pair of young men and women: in order to find light for the earth and people, they traveled all over the world and finally flew into the sky. The young man turned into a radiant sun, and the young woman turned into a gentle and lovely moon.

When you look up at the moon, you will immediately find some places on the bright moon that are not so bright. They are slightly darker than the surrounding area, and the degree of darkness is different. The following Yao myth is to explain the alternation of light and shade on the moon.

The moon in the sky turned out to be square and round, so bright that people could not open their eyes and so hot that they could not breathe. A pair of young men and women are determined to promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages and do good things for the people. The strong young man shot a sharp arrow at the moon, trying to make it round bit by bit. However, the moon is still too bright, and the white moon is not beautiful! The young woman is an expert in brocade. She has knitted a beautiful silk brocade for the moon with all her heart, and asked the boys to hang an arrow and shoot it at the moon to cover it. In this way, the moonlight is not so dazzling, and there are patterns, houses, cattle and sheep, osmanthus trees and so on. The moon pattern originally woven on silk brocade has become what we see. Later, young men and women also came to the moon and lived a happy life.
