China Folk Fairy Tale: the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon and Yutu Playing Medicine.

1, the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon

Legend has it that Chang 'e is a beautiful and kind woman who often helps poor villagers. One day, the Queen Mother of the West on Kunlun Mountain gave Hou Yi a fairy medicine. It is said that people can ascend to heaven and become immortals after taking this medicine. However, Chang 'e was forced by Pang Meng. In desperation, she took the elixir and flew to the Moon Palace. The villagers miss the kind Chang 'e very much, put Chang 'e's favorite food in the yard and bless her from afar. Since then, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai has spread among the people.

2. Jade rabbit is smashing medicine

This is also a classic myth and legend about Mid-Autumn Festival. It is said that the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon violated the jade emperor's will, so the jade emperor punished her and turned her into a white rabbit. Every full moon night, she would play medicine for the gods in the moon palace as punishment.

Jade rabbit has become synonymous with the moon. For example, what's in the Moon written by Fu Xuan in Jin Dynasty? White rabbits are smashing drugs "; Jia Dao wrote a poem "Give a Zen Master Lang": "You can clearly see the jade rabbit at the bottom of the pond"; There is a sentence in Xin Qiji's "Mid-Autumn Festival with Red River", "Who wants to go upstairs to see the Jade Rabbit?"
