Myths and legends about solar eclipse?

According to Buddhist legend, one of Sakyamuni's ten disciples is called Mulian, who is very filial to his mother. However, Manglietia's mother was sexually violent. When the Jade Emperor in the sky knew about it, he sent Manglietia's mother to eighteen levels of hell and turned her into a vicious dog, which could never be reborn.

Mulian practiced day and night and became a Tibetan bodhisattva. In order to save his mother, he opened the door of hell with Zhang Xi, and Mu Lian's mother and all the evil spirits escaped from hell.

After escaping from hell, Mulian's mother turned into a vicious dog and fled to heaven to settle accounts with the Jade Emperor. She couldn't find the jade emperor in the sky, so she chased the sun and the moon, trying to swallow them and turn heaven and earth into a dark world.
