Does Chang 'e really exist?

Maybe it exists, but after all, no one has seen it, or everyone who has seen it is dead! Some of her statements are as follows: Chang 'e [1], female, mythical figure. It's Taiyi's wife. Chang 'e was originally called Heng E, but in the Western Han Dynasty, it was renamed Chang 'e to avoid the taboo of Liu Heng, the literary emperor of China.

Extraordinary beauty, after flying to heaven, lived in the fairy palace on the moon. Heng E's tomb is located in Tiantai Mountain, Rizhao City, Shandong Province, next to Dayu's tomb. It is said that Da Yi and Heng E initiated monogamy, and later generations interpreted the story of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon in memory of them. According to historical records, Dayu unified the tribes in Dongyi and formed a powerful country. Because this country is composed of many tribal countries that worship the sun, it is called "ten-day country" in Shan Hai Jing.

The horizon of the Tenth Kingdom is located in the south of Rizhao City, Shandong Province, on the coast of the East China Sea (see the article "Textual Research on the East Horizon of Shanhaijing Overseas"). Yaowangcheng site, a national cultural relic protection unit, is the capital of the tenth kingdom. Tiantai Mountain on the south side of Yaowangcheng site (now part of the Sun Culture Source Scenic Spot in Tanggu, Rizhao). There are many relics offering sacrifices to the sun, such as sunstone, Sun Shen Ling, old mother temple, ancestor statue, sundial and so on.

Dayi and his wife Heng E (later explained as flying Chang 'e) died and were buried in Tiantai Mountain, a tourist scenic spot of Sun Culture Source in Tanggu, Rizhao. Locals call it the Great Yiling.

Zhu Nanzi Ming Lan Xun: "I invited the elixir of life to the Queen Mother of the West, and it was stolen to the moon by Heng E, so I was disappointed and lost, and I couldn't continue." Induce height; "Heng E, yi wife; Yi invited the elixir of life to the Queen Mother of the West, who refused to take it. Heng E stole the fairy and went to the middle of the month to be a moon essence. " The Book of Beginners quoted the ancient edition of Zhu Nanzi, and under the sentence "Heng E stole the moon", there was also the word "entrusted the moon as a toad, but for the essence of the moon" 12, which was removed from this edition. Heng E is Chang 'e, who was born on the 12th of the month, as recorded in Shan Hai Jing Huang Da Xi Jing. The ancient sound was pronounced as e, and gradually evolved into Chang 'e who ran to the moon. There are two notes in Selected Works that quote "Returning to Tibet", both of which say that Chang 'e took the elixir of life and went to the moon. The myth of knowing Chang 'e has been circulated since ancient times, and it did not begin with Zhunanzi. Zhuang Jiyun is quoted in the Collection of Great Lies in the Quasi-South: "Heng E, all the books remain unchanged, except the Yilin family, which is quoted in the anthology as unchanged. The quasi-southern king should be cautious and constant, not constant. He suspects that Yilin is also true. " Emperor Wen of Han kept his name unchanged, so he knew that Heng E was an unchanging moth, and unchanging means unchanging. "Jie Ji" also quoted Hong as saying: "Words have no words, which were made by later generations."

Folklore is slightly different. Generally speaking, Chang 'e ate the elixir that her husband begged the Queen Mother of the West and flew to the Moon Palace. Qiong Yu, on the other hand, can't stand the cold at the top, and the so-called "Chang 'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sky and the dark night heart" is a portrayal of her feelings of silence. Chang 'e confided her remorse to her husband and said, "I can't come down at ordinary times, but tomorrow is the full moon." You make pills out of flour, round like a full moon, put them in the northwest of the house, and then keep calling my name. By midnight, I can go home. " The next day, do as his wife says, and then the fruit of Chang 'e flies from the middle of the month and the husband and wife reunite. This is also the custom of making moon cakes for Chang 'e in Mid-Autumn Festival. The picture of Chang 'e, which shows this plot, expresses the world's yearning for a happy and happy life.

The goddess the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, widely circulated in modern times, refers to the fact that Chang 'e couldn't stand the temptation of life in heaven, went out hunting while taking advantage of the cave and swallowed the elixir of life alone. Because Chang 'e abandoned her husband and was afraid of being laughed at by the gods in the sky, she went to Chang 'e and wanted to settle down in the moon palace for the time being. However, the moon palace was empty and strangely deserted. She chewed the taste of loneliness and regret in the long night, and gradually became a white toad. She was tortured in the moon palace all day and lived a lonely and bitter life. Li Shangyin once wrote a poem lamenting Chang 'e: "Chang 'e should regret stealing the elixir and stay awake at night." ("Lingxian Quanguwen" series) recorded the story of "Chang 'e became a toad": "Chang 'e married a wife, stole the elixir of the heavenly queen and brought it to the moon. Will go, occupy the grave. Zhi said, "Ji, you go back to your sister, and you go west alone." . When the sky is gray, you will not be surprised or afraid, but you will prosper in the future. Chang 'e entrusted herself to the moon for the sake of toad. ”)

There is also a saying that there is a difference between Hou Yi and Hou Yi, which comes from Tian Wen.

In Tian Wen, which day is it? Yanwu Xie Yu? After the easy appearance, five questions were interspersed, namely, "the emperor surrendered the easy and reformed the evil." "Hu Shefu James Hope, and his wife? Xie Feng thinks the SEALs are an opportunity. Why offer the paste of steamed meat, and then the emperor doesn't want it? Marrying Chun Hu dazzled his wife. Why pat the leather and give it a slap? What is more difficult to stop the Western Expedition? Become a yellow bear, what is the living witch? " Houyi. In other words, a so-called "folklore" of Hou Yi's wife is "Chun Hu" instead of "Chang 'e".

Hou Yi is probably the descendant of Chang 'e's husband Hou Yi. Because he is also good at shooting, he is also a kinsman, so he is called Hou Yi.
