The moom and The Mid-autumn Festival (1)

, ,


The Mid-autumn Festival is one of the main Chinese festivals. Families usually celebrate this festival by gathering together, eating moon cakes (round-shaped to symbolize perfection and union) and watching the bright moon. There are a few legends behind the Moon festival. Among them are Hou Yi and his wife Chang E, Wu Gang chopping the tree and the Jade Rabbit making medicine.

The legend of Hou Yi is that once there were ten suns over the earth causing a great drought. Hou Yi was a great archer and shot them down one by one until only one remained. You Yi received an immortality pill from the Goddess of the Western Heaven. Chang E, without telling Hou Yi, swallowed the immortality pill. Then she flew to the moon and lived there forever after.
Wu Gang was a very impatient but ambitious man. He was an apprentice to many immortals. Because he lacked patience, he could not stay with any one apprenticeship, which eventually angered one of the deities. As a result he was sent to the moon. He is required to stay on the moon until he cuts down a giant Cassia tree. He has spent an eternity trying to chop down this tree because it regenerates every time it is hit.

The story of the Jade rabbit is that one day three deities pretended to be beggers and went down to earth. They bumped into a fox, a monkey and a rabbit. They asked for food and both the fox and monkey offered their food to them. The rabbit, however, had no food to give so he jumped into a pot and offered himself to the beggars. The deities, awed by the rabbit's altruism, made the rabbit an immortal and let him live on the moon.

It is thought that Chang E, Wu Gang and the Jade Rabbit can be seen on the moon when the moon is at its brightest in mid-autumn.
