What are the beautiful legends of Mid-Autumn Festival?

The legend of Mid-Autumn Festival is very rich. Legends such as the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, Wu Gang cutting Guangxi, Jade Rabbit smashing medicine, Xuanzong traveling to the moon and rabbits treating diseases are widely circulated. Next, I will introduce it in detail, and interested friends will have a look.

1, according to legend, in the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, after Houyi shot the sun, he got a pack of elixir from the Queen Mother and gave it to his wife Chang 'e for safekeeping. Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by the villain, who took advantage of Houyi to go hunting and forced Chang 'e to hand over the fairy medicine. Chang 'e swallowed the fairy medicine in a hurry, 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. Hou Yi was so angry that he looked up at the night sky and called for Chang 'e. At this time, he found that the moon today was exceptionally bright and there was a swaying figure resembling Chang 'e. Hou Yi missed his wife, so he sent someone to Chang 'e's favorite back garden, put a table of incense, put on Chang 'e's favorite honey and fresh fruit, and sacrificed Chang 'e in 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.

2. Legend has it that there was a laurel tree in the month when WU GANG cut laurel, and Huainanzi said that there was a laurel tree in the month. Later, the legend was more specific, and WU GANG, a laurel cutter, was added beside the laurel tree. The legend of WU GANG, a laurel tree in the middle of the month, is the most concrete legend of WU GANG, a laurel tree in the middle of the month, which was recorded in the first volume of Tianzhi before Youyang Miscellanies in the Tang Dynasty. Its cloud:

As the old saying goes, there is a laurel tree in the moon and a toad in the moon, so different books say that the laurel tree is 500 feet high, and one person often loves it and makes it. The surname is Wu Minggang, from Xihe. He learned from the gods and ordered the tree to be cut down.

Generally speaking, WU GANG once followed the immortal to the sky, but when he made a mistake, the immortal sent him to the moon and ordered him to cut down the immortal tree-laurel. The laurel tree is 500 feet high and can be cut down together. Emperor Yan used this endless labor as a punishment for WU GANG.

In this way, year after year, WU GANG cut down more trees than this laurel tree. Only on August 15 every year will a leaf fall from the moon to the ground. Who is the most industrious, Jin Yezi will float to whom, and whose family will have endless wealth.

3. The legend of the jade rabbit smashing medicine was first seen in "Han Yuefu Dong Escape": "The jade rabbit kneels and smashed the medicine toad pill, showing a jade plate in your majesty. Taking this medicine will make you immortal. " According to legend, there is a rabbit on the moon, as white as jade, so it is called "Jade Rabbit". This kind of white rabbit holds a jade pestle and kneels down to make toad venom. Taking these pills can make you live forever. Jade rabbit is probably the earliest playmate of Chang 'e in Guanghan Palace. According to legend, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, we look up on the moonlit night and maybe we can find the lovely rabbit from the moon.

4. According to legend, Xuanzong traveled to the moon and enjoyed the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival with Shen and Taoist Hongdu. Xuanzong suddenly put forward the idea of traveling to the Moon Palace, so Shi Tian practiced, and the three began to go to Qingyun and roam the Moon Palace. However, the palace is heavily guarded and cannot enter, so it can only overlook the imperial city of Chang 'an.

At this time, I suddenly heard the voice of a fairy. It was beautiful, beautiful and touching. Tang Xuanzong was always familiar with this piece of music, so he remembered it. This is the truth that "this song should only exist in the sky, but it can be heard on earth". Later, Xuanzong recalled Xian 'e's music and singing in the Moon Palace and composed and choreographed his own music, which is the famous "colorful feather" in history.

5. The legend of rabbits treating diseases In ancient times, there was a plague in old Beijing, and everyone was infected, so it didn't matter what medicine they took. Chang 'e was sad to see people suffering, so she sent a jade rabbit to help people eliminate disasters and treat diseases.

As a result, Yutu became a girl, came to Beijing, walked around the streets and cured many patients. Jade rabbit treats others for nothing and only borrows other people's clothes to wear. Everywhere she went, she changed into a suit, a man, a woman, a fortune teller and an oil seller. Finally, she traveled all over Beijing to save more families from the plague until it was eliminated. God helps those who help him. After Yutu wiped out the plague in Beijing, Yutu flew back to the Moon Palace on the full moon on August 15th.

Many people received Yutu's "kindness". They spread the news and praised Yutu's advantages. Yutu became a household name.
