The best-known legend of the Moon Festival (Mid-Autumn Festival) is “Chang’e Flying to the Moon” (嫦娥奔月).

Long ago, there were ten suns in the sky. They scorched the earth and made life unbearable. A great archer named Hou Yi shot down nine of them, leaving only one sun. As a reward, the Queen Mother of the West gave him an elixir of immortality.

Hou Yi loved his wife, Chang’e, and did not want to leave her, so he asked her to keep the elixir safe. But on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, while Hou Yi was away, a wicked man named Feng Meng tried to steal it. To stop him, Chang’e swallowed the elixir herself. She became light and flew up to the moon, where she has lived ever since.

When Hou Yi returned, he was heartbroken. He looked up at the moon and saw a shadow that looked like Chang’e. He set out her favorite foods and fruits as an offering. Later, people followed his example, gazing at the moon and praying to Chang’e for peace, reunion, and good fortune. This is why the Mid-Autumn Festival is associated with family reunion, moon gazing, and mooncakes.

Other Moon Festival legends include:

· The Jade Rabbit: A rabbit sacrificed itself to feed three hungry immortals. Moved by its kindness, they sent it to the moon, where it pounds the elixir of life.
· Wu Gang and the Cassia Tree: An immortal was punished to chop a magical self-healing tree on the moon forever.
· Mooncake Uprising: During the Yuan dynasty, secret messages were hidden inside mooncakes to plan a rebellion, which helped lead to the Ming dynasty.

So the Moon Festival celebrates the moon, reunion, and the bittersweet story of Chang’e and Hou Yi.
