What is the relationship between Mid-Autumn Festival and Chang'e?
When talking about the Mid-Autumn Festival, we cannot leave out the character of Chang'e. So, what is the relationship between the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chang'e? Let’s take a look at it together. In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the moon is clear in the cold pond; in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the wind is clear and the air is refreshing, and the osmanthus fragrance is in the air; in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the world is colorful and the harvest is abundant. Come to Mr. Shui Mo to learn more about the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 2018.What is the relationship between Mid-Autumn Festival and Chang'e?There are many ancient legends about the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, among which "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" is the most popular. Legend has it that Chang'e's husband Houyi was a hero who eliminated harm for the people, and the two hoped to live forever and love each other forever. So Houyi went through untold hardships to seek the elixir of immortality from the Queen Mother of Heaven. When Houyi's disciples found out, on the 15th day of August, when Houyi was not at home, they threatened Chang'e to hand over the elixir. Chang'e was forced to swallow the elixir in one gulp. As a result, she immediately became as light as smoke and flew up to the sky. From then on, she became a fairy living in the Moon Palace, separated from Houyi. When Houyi got home and learned about this, he was extremely sad, so he offered fruits and food in the yard to express his longing for Chang'e. The villagers respected the relationship between Houyi and Chang'e, and followed suit in worshiping the moon. Of course, this is a story from mythology. If we combine the real Mid-Autumn Festival with Chang'e, there are the following related points: 1. Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival for appreciating the moon, and Chang'e lives on the moon. 2. The day when Chang'e ascended to heaven happened to be the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. 3. Legend has it that the Mid-Autumn Festival originated from Chang'e's flight to the moon. Perhaps this is the relationship between Chang'e and the Mid-Autumn Festival. |
