In China, there is a beautiful mythological story about the goddess of the moon, Chang'e.
It is said that in ancient times, there were ten suns in the sky at once, bringing endless heat and drought to people.
In order to save humanity, the hero Hou Yi shot down nine suns, leaving only one to shine on the earth.
However, Hou Yi's wife Chang'e accidentally ate the elixir of immortality and flew to the moon palace, becoming the goddess of the moon.
She spends every day on the moon, guarding the peace of the world.
To commemorate this brave woman, the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month every year.
On this day, people reunite to admire the moon, taste mooncakes, and pray for family happiness and harmony.
The image of the goddess Chang'e has also become an important symbol of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival has become one of the most representative festivals in Chinese traditional culture.
People celebrate this special day in various ways.
Whether it is admiring the moon, eating mooncakes, or reuniting with family, it is filled with a strong cultural atmosphere and warm family emotions.
