The story of Chang 'e Jade Rabbit

The story of Chang 'e Jade Rabbit is as follows:

The story of Chang 'e has been circulating for a long time, especially in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chang 'e is remembered by countless people. In fact, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people not only think of moon cakes, Chang 'e and WU GANG, but also think of the rabbit that accompanies Chang 'e every day.

There is a story that Chang 'e and Yutu live together. At that time, Chang 'e flew to the moon palace because she took the elixir of life. But at that time, there was a fairy named WU GANG in the Moon Palace who was addicted to fairy tales, but never refused to study hard.

The Jade Emperor was so angry that he had to leave Wu Gang in the Moon Palace and told WU GANG that if you can cut down the osmanthus tree, you will get magic. But strangely, every time WU GANG cuts down a section of osmanthus tree, it will automatically change back to its original appearance, and WU GANG's wish can't be realized anyway.

A fairy was invited to the earth by Wu Gang to find a solution, but he got lost in the mountains and was hungry. So he asked foxes, monkeys and rabbits in the mountains for food to satisfy his hunger. At this time, only the rabbit had no food to help the fairy. The rabbit asked the fairy to cook his meat.

Because the fairy was grateful to the rabbit, she sent it to the Guanghan Palace in the sky. She lives alone in the Moon Palace with Chang 'e and WU GANG. Chang 'e treats rabbits as her pets because she is lonely, and she loves them very much. No matter what she does, she will take the rabbit with her.

From then on, when people mentioned Chang 'e, the figure of rabbit always appeared in people's minds. This is the story of Chang 'e and Yutu, which is a far-reaching story for later generations and the reason why Yutu and Chang 'e are together.

Cultural characteristics of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon;

Legend has it that Chang 'e rose to the Moon Palace because she took the elixir of life and was unable to meet her family from then on. Later, people put a snack similar to the full moon in the yard on August 15 to express Chang 'e's thoughts about her family. Every year, it becomes the Mid-Autumn Festival.

According to legend, after Chang 'e flew to the Moon Palace, she confided her regret to Iraq and said, "Tomorrow is the full moon. You make pills out of flour, round like a full moon, put them in the northwest of the house, and then keep calling my name. At midnight, I can go home. " The next day, Yi did as his wife said. At that time, the fruit of Chang 'e flew from the middle of the month and the husband and wife reunited. The custom of making moon cakes for Chang 'e in the Mid-Autumn Festival is also formed. Since then, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai has spread among the people.
