There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of
Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautiful wife.After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a
goddess gave him magic medicine to thank. Whoever took this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to take it
with Chang’e. However, a bad man, Pang Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. Chang’e
refused to give it to him and took it all. She became very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was so sad that he
called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he
could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite food and desserts in the garden. How he wished that
Chang’e could come back!
