A legendary story about the moon

Legend has it that in the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, in ancient times there was a man named Hou Yi who married a beautiful and kind wife named Chang 'e. Besides hunting, Hou Yi spent all his time with his wife, and people admired this beautiful and loving couple.

One day, Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek truth. He happened to meet the Queen Mother passing by and asked her for a bag of elixir. It is said that taking this medicine can instantly ascend to heaven and become immortal. However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife, so he had to temporarily give the elixir to Chang 'e. Chang 'e hid the medicine in the dresser's treasure chest, but Meng Peng saw it. Three days later, Hou Yi led his entourage out hunting, while Meng Peng with ulterior motives pretended to be ill.

Shortly after Hou Yi led the crowd to leave, Meng Peng broke into the backyard of the back room with a sword in his hand, threatening Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e knew that she was no match for Meng Peng. In times of crisis, she made a decisive decision, turned around and opened the treasure chest, 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 into the sky. Because Chang 'e was worried about her husband, she flew to the nearest moon and became a fairy. In the evening, when Hou Yi came home, the maids cried and told what happened during the day.

Hou Yi was surprised and angry, and drew his sword to kill the villain. Meng Peng has escaped. The grief-stricken Hou Yi looked up at the night sky and called the name of his beloved wife. At this time, he was surprised to find that today's moon is particularly bright and bright, with a swaying figure resembling Chang 'e.

Hou Yi hurriedly sent someone to Chang 'e's favorite back garden, set up a table sweetmeats, put on her favorite honey-eating fresh fruit, and offered a memorial service to Chang 'e at the Moon Palace. After hearing the news that the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon became an immortal, people set up an incense table under the moon and prayed for good luck and peace to the kind Chang 'e. Since then, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai has spread among the people.

Houyi, the archer of the Tiangou eclipse, saved the people and shot down nine suns. People all over the world thanked him for his kindness. In order to reward him, the Queen Mother took all the fairies to meet him on the hill where Houyi hunted.

At that time, Hou Yi was hunting in the mountains with black ears of hounds. The queen mother called Hou Yi to her side and ordered a fairy to hold out a dazzling little box, take out two kinds of herbs with unusual fragrance, and told Hou Yi, "When you go back, cook and swallow all the herbs, and you can become immortal." After receiving the elixir, Hou Yi thanked the Queen Mother and happily went home with black ears.

Hou Yi loved his wife very much, so he decided to share happiness with his wife Chang 'e and become immortal together. After returning home, he explained the matter to Chang 'e, left the black-eared hound behind, and went to the elders of the villagers to prepare to say goodbye to them.

According to Hou Yi's instructions, Chang 'e boiled all the medicines in water, and then Hou Yi came back to eat them together. But greedy, she smelled the scent of the fairy medicine and couldn't help eating one with a spoon. After eating, she only felt Shu Tai all over. It was so delicious that she couldn't help eating the last one.

It was dark, and Chang 'e came out to see her husband before he came back. Unexpectedly, just after going out, his body fluttered with the wind. Black Ear, the hound, saw Chang 'e steal the elixir and ascend to heaven alone, so he barked and jumped into the house. He smelled the fragrance, grabbed the pot with one paw, licked the remaining ginseng soup clean, and then chased Chang 'e in the sky. When Chang 'e heard the cry of black ears, she was surprised and scared, and hurriedly hid in the moon. But the black ear's hair stood on end, and his body became bigger and bigger. He jumped up and swallowed Chang 'e and the moon in one gulp.

At that time, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were enjoying the moon in the Heavenly Palace. When they suddenly saw that it was dark, they quickly sent a night watchman to check it out. The night watchman came back to report that the moon was swallowed by the black dog, so it was dark; Hearing this, the Jade Emperor angrily ordered the heavenly soldiers to catch the black dog. When the black dog was caught, the Queen Mother recognized that it was Houyi's hound, Black Ear. When she asked, she learned what had happened. She felt pity and named it Tiangou to guard the worse. When Hale was sealed, he spit out the moon and Chang 'e, and Chang 'e was punished to live in the moon palace forever.

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 wild 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.

Themis, the goddess of the moon, likes oak trees very much and always takes her oak stick with her when hunting. People think she is the goddess of oak. In ancient Greece, when people offered sacrifices to the goddess of the moon, they lit oak torches. Later, they provided cookies and lit candles. Finally, it evolved into a way to celebrate children's birthdays-insert candles on the cake at night, blow out the candles and make wishes, just like Chang 'e? Blessing wishes come true. Even today, people still celebrate their birthday in this way.

Legend has it that three immortals became three poor old people, begging for food from foxes, monkeys and rabbits. Both the fox and the monkey have food to help, but the rabbit can't.

Later, the rabbit said, "You can eat my meat!" " He jumped into the fire and cooked himself. The fairy was so moved that she sent the rabbit to the Moon Palace and turned it into a jade rabbit.

According to legend, Wu Gang was originally a woodcutter on earth, obsessed with the immortal way, but refused to concentrate on his studies. So the Emperor was furious and stayed at the Moon Palace, asking him to cut down the laurel tree in order to forgive his sins. The height of osmanthus trees is about 500 feet. Every time WU GANG cuts, it will heal automatically. Day after day, WU GANG's desire to cut down osmanthus trees has never been realized, and he has been cutting it down. The legend of logging in Wugang, Guangxi, added several nicknames to the moon, such as "Gui Yue", "Guigong" and "Guilun". 、

In the moon myth of the ancient Bunun people, there are two suns in the sky, which shine on the earth in turn, causing the earth to stay up all night. Hot weather brings great inconvenience to human life. A couple worked hard in the cultivated land, and put the sleeping baby firmly beside the stone pile in the shade of the tree and covered it with palm leaves. Unexpectedly, he was burned alive by the cruel sun and turned into a lizard hiding in the gap of the stone pile. Father was very sad and angry when he learned about it.

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 throw stones first.

Judging from the sound of stones falling to the ground, the road ahead is an abyss. A mountain Qiang who was out foraging was hit in the head by a stone thrown by someone, bleeding profusely. Shan 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, and the earth regained its brilliance. People resumed their normal daily lives, but Shanqiang's forehead left a beautiful scar. Later, the moon taught the father who shot at the sun all kinds of festivals.

For example, when hunting and sowing sacrifices, don't be greedy for sweets, otherwise you will starve or miss your prey; Children's Day should be held at the full moon, otherwise the children will get sick and die. After his father returned to the tribe, he began to teach his people 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 used orange leaves as sacrificial vessels when holding sacrificial ceremonies.
