However, the palace was heavily guarded and one could not enter, so one could only overlook the Imperial City of Chang'an from outside. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of immortals. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was well versed in music, so he memorized it in his heart. Later, Xuanzong recalled the music and singing of the fairies in the Moon Palace, composed the music and choreographed it himself, and created the famous "Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Coat" in history to commemorate his wandering in the Moon Palace.

It is said that after taking this medicine, one can immediately ascend to heaven and become an immortal. Houyi gave the elixir of immortality to Chang'e for safekeeping, but Peng Meng found out about it. One day, Houyi went out, and Peng Meng took this opportunity to force Chang'e to hand over the elixir of immortality. Chang'e had no choice but to swallow the medicine. She immediately floated out of the door and flew to the Moon Palace. When Houyi found out, he was in great pain and had to offer sacrifice to his wife in the Moon Palace on the night of the full moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival. When the people found out, they also prayed for Chang'e's safety together on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Legends of the Mid-Autumn Festival: The Mooncake Uprising It is said that the custom of eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival is related to the Mooncake Uprising in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the majority of people in the Central Plains could not bear the cruel rule of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, and they rose up against the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang united various resistance forces to prepare for an uprising, but the court officials and soldiers searched very closely, making it very difficult to pass on information. Military counselor Liu Bowen came up with a plan. He ordered his subordinates to hide a note with the words "Revolt on the night of August 15th" inside the cakes, and then sent people to deliver them to the rebel forces in various places, informing them to revolt on the night of August 15th. Soon, Xu Da captured the Yuan capital and the uprising was successful. When the news came, Zhu Yuanzhang was so delighted that he immediately issued an oral order, allowing all soldiers and civilians to celebrate the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival together. He also rewarded his ministers with moon cakes, which were used to secretly convey information when he started the uprising.
