According to the legend, Hou Yi was a mighty archer who had shot down nine of the ten suns, leaving just the one that still lights up our sky. He had a beautiful wife named Chang’e whom he loved with all his heart. He hoped their happiness last forever and asked the Queen Mother of the West for some magic water for the eternal of life. Hou Yi and Chang’e decided to share the drink in mid-autumn date when the light of the full moon shone on the earth. However, on that day an envious man who wanted to be ever-young killed Hou Yi and threatened Chang’e. Chang’e drank the liquid immediately, soon flew to the moon and became a goddess. She lives there with a rabbit named Jade.
This touching story spread in China widely and the common people began to pray to the moon for good luck and safety from this virtuous goddess.
