In Greek mythology, Poseidon had a son named Aolaiwen. Oliver was born as tall and strong as his father. But he doesn't like living in the sea. Instead, he often comes to Shan Ye to climb mountains and hunt. However, he is Poseidon's son, so he can walk like a fly even at sea.
Accompanied by him all day is a hound named Sirius, who is as brave as his master. He always rushes to the front when hunting and always stands in front of Aolaiwen when he meets wild animals.
After a long time, Aolaiwen often met the moon god and hunting goddess themis when hunting. The two were quickly attracted by each other's elegance and superb hunting skills. Later, they often walked in the mountains together, climbed cliffs and climbed dangerous peaks, and talked about everything.
All this made Apollo, the sun god, very angry. He knew Artemis was a stubborn girl, and persuasion would not impress her at all. Apollo was cruel and came up with a deadly trap.
One day, as usual, Aolaiwen "flew" at sea, ready to go ashore to hunt. His whole body is submerged except his head.
Apollo and themis happened to fly across the sea.
"Sister, the somebody else say you wear Yang kung fu. How about we have a game today? "
Artemis thinks that only Aolaiwen's archery can compare with her, so she doesn't care about her brother!
"Well, what did you say?"
"Look, that little black spot is a stone, just shoot it." Apollo knew that his sister's eyesight was not as good as his own, and he couldn't see clearly what the black spot was.
"No problem!" His voice did not fall, but he heard a whoosh. A sharp arrow was neither biased nor inclined, and it was a small black spot.
"Elder sister, you really live up to your reputation. Brother, I never dare to compare with you again. " Say that finish, Apollo quietly left.
Artemis was very proud. She landed at sea and wanted to see the shooting target. But what she saw was Aolaiwen, who was shot in the head, lying quietly on the water. Before she could say a word to his sweetheart, she was dead.
My favorite person was shot dead by my own arrow, and Artemis fainted. Hearing the news of the tragic death of his master, Sirius cried bitterly all night. He didn't even look at other people's food, and a few days later he left with Aolaiwen.
This tragedy made Zeus cry. He collected Aolaiwen's body, lifted him to the sky and turned him into Orion. We can't be together all the time before we die, and finally we will be together forever with Artemis, the goddess of the moon. Sirius also won the sympathy of Zeus with his loyalty, ascended to heaven and continued to accompany his master. This is a dog. In order not to make Sirius lonely, Zeus also specially found a partner for him-a puppy. Zeus knew that Aolaiwen liked hunting best before his death, so he put a small prey beside him-the sky map.
One of the legends of Mid-Autumn Festival-the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon
According to legend, ten suns appeared in the sky at the same time in ancient times, which scorched crops and made the people miserable. A hero named Hou Yi has infinite power. He sympathized with the suffering people, climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, exerted his divine power, drew his bow, shot down more than nine suns in one breath, and ordered the last one to rise and fall on time for the benefit of the people.
Hou Yi was respected and loved by the people. He married a beautiful and kind wife named Chang 'e. Besides hunting, Hou Yi is always with his wife, and people envy this beautiful and loving couple.
Many people with lofty ideals came here to study as teachers, and Meng Peng with ulterior motives joined in.
One day, Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek truth. He happened to meet the Queen Mother passing by and asked her for a bag of elixir. It is said that taking this medicine can instantly ascend to heaven and become immortal. However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife, so he had to temporarily give the elixir to Chang 'e. Chang 'e hid the medicine in the dresser's treasure chest, but the villain Meng Peng saw it. He wants to steal the elixir to make himself immortal.
Three days later, Hou Yi led his entourage out hunting, while Meng Peng with ulterior motives pretended to be ill. Shortly after Hou Yi led the crowd to leave, Meng Peng broke into the backyard of the back room with a sword in his hand, threatening Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e knew that she was no match for Meng Peng. In times of crisis, she made a decisive decision, turned around and opened the treasure chest, took out the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp. Chang 'e swallowed the medicine and immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window and flew into the sky. Because Chang 'e was worried about her husband, she flew to the nearest moon and became a fairy.
In the evening, when Hou Yi came home, the maids cried and told what happened during the day. Hou Yi was surprised and angry, and drew his sword to kill the villain. Meng Peng escaped early. Angry and heartbroken, Hou Yi looked up at the night sky and shouted the name of his beloved wife. At this time, he was surprised to find that today's moon is exceptionally bright and bright. There is a swaying figure resembling Chang 'e. He chased the moon desperately, but he chased it three times, the moon retreated three times, he retreated three times, and the moon advanced three times. He couldn't catch up anyway.
Hou Yi had no choice but to miss his wife, so he had to send someone to Chang 'e's favorite back garden, put on a table sweetmeats, put on her favorite honey and fresh fruit, and offer a remote sacrifice to Chang 'e who was attached to him in the moon palace. After hearing the news that the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon became an immortal, people made an incense table under the moon and prayed for good luck and peace to the kind Chang 'e.
Since then, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai has spread among the people.
WU GANG, the second legend of Mid-Autumn Festival, won the laurel.
There is also a legend about the Mid-Autumn Festival: It is said that osmanthus trees in front of Guanghan Palace on the moon are flourishing, reaching more than 500 feet. There is a man who often cuts down, but every time he finishes cutting, the cut place closes immediately. For thousands of years, this laurel tree can never be cut down. It is said that the person who cut down trees was WU GANG, a native of Xihe in Han Dynasty. He used to practice in heaven with the immortal, but when he made a mistake, the immortal demoted him to the moon palace, and * * did this futile work as punishment. In Li Bai's poems, there is a record that "if you want to be in the middle of the month, you will pay for the cold."
Legend of Mid-Autumn Festival III —— Zhu Yuanzhang and Moon Cake Uprising
It is said that eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the broad masses of the people in the Central Plains could not bear the cruel rule of the ruling class in the Yuan Dynasty and rose up against the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang joined forces with various resistance forces to prepare for the uprising. However, the officers and men of the imperial court searched very closely and it was very difficult to pass on the news. Liu Bowen, a military strategist, came up with a plan and ordered his men to hide a note with the words "Uprising on the 15th of August" in the cake, and then sent people to the uprising troops in various places to inform them to respond to the uprising on 15th of August. On the day of the uprising, all the rebels responded together, such as a single spark can start a prairie fire.
Soon, Xu Da captured the Yuan Dynasty and the uprising was successful. When the news came, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and quickly sent a message saying that all the soldiers should have fun with the people in the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, and they should give the "moon cakes" secretly sent at the time of the war as seasonal cakes to the ministers. Since then, the production of "moon cakes" has become more and more elaborate, and there are more and more varieties, such as dishes, which have also become good gifts. The custom of eating moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival will be in the future.
1. It is said that during the reign of Emperor Yao, ten suns suddenly appeared in the sky, which brought terror and disaster to China. A marksman named Hou Yi shot down nine suns, which eliminated the disaster for all people. The heavenly queen gave Hou Yi a pack of elixirs. When Meng Peng, a disciple of Hou Yi, learned about this, he used his absence to threaten his wife Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e took out the elixir of life and swallowed it in one gulp. Suddenly, her body floated off the ground, rushed out of the window and flew into the sky. Because Chang 'e was worried about her husband, she flew to the nearest moon and became a fairy.
When Hou Yi came home, the maids cried about what happened during the day. The grief-stricken Hou Yi looked up at the night sky and called the name of his beloved wife. At this time, he was surprised to find that today's moon is particularly bright and bright, with a swaying figure resembling Chang 'e.
Hou Yi hurriedly sent someone to Chang 'e's favorite back garden, set up a table sweetmeats, put on her favorite honey-eating fresh fruit, and offered a memorial service to Chang 'e at the Moon Palace.
After hearing the news that the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon became an immortal, people set up an incense table under the moon and prayed for good luck and peace to the kind Chang 'e. Since then, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai has spread among the people.
Contrary to the widely circulated goddess the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, the series of ancient books "Lingxian" recorded the story of "Chang 'e became a toad": "Chang 'e married, stole the elixir of the Queen Mother and brought it to the moon. Will go, occupy the grave. Zhi said, "Ji, go back to your sister and go west alone." . When it's dark, you won't be surprised or afraid, but you will prosper in the future.' Chang 'e entrusted herself to the moon for the sake of toad. "After Chang 'e became a toad, she was punished in the moon palace all day and lived a lonely and miserable life. Li Shangyin once wrote a poem lamenting Chang 'e: "Chang 'e should regret stealing the elixir and stay awake at night. "

Hou Yi has made great achievements in the world and is respected and loved by the people. Many people with lofty ideals come here to study and be teachers. The treacherous and cunning Meng Peng also mixed in. Soon, Hou Yi married a beautiful and kind wife named Chang 'e.

The grief-stricken Hou Yi looked up at the night sky and called the name of his beloved wife. At this time, he was surprised to find that today's moon is particularly bright and bright, and there is a swaying figure resembling Chang 'e. Hou Yi hurriedly sent someone to Chang 'e's favorite back garden, put on a table sweetmeats, and put on her favorite candied fruit to pay tribute to Chang 'e at the Moon Palace.

Since then, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai has spread among the people. (This is just a way of saying "the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon", and there are many different ways of saying it among the people. There is a saying that after Hou Yi shot down the sun, he was elected as the leader by the people. He became grumpy and killed people casually if he was unhappy.

The Moon Myth of Bunun Nationality
In Archaean, there were two suns in the sky, which shone on the earth in turn, resulting in no distinction between day and night. Hot weather brings great inconvenience to human life. A couple worked hard in the farmland, putting the sleeping baby firmly beside the stone pile in the shade of the tree and covering it with palm leaves. Unexpectedly, he was still burned alive by the cruel sun and turned into a lizard hiding in the crack of the stone pile. The father was very angry when he knew it, and vowed to shoot down the sun to avenge his children.
Before embarking on the journey, my father planted an orange tree in front of his house and set out for the place where the sun rose, ready to seal it before the sun took off. My father, who was an accurate marksman, really hit one eye of the sun, and the light of the sun suddenly disappeared into the moon. The moon closed its eyes and reached out to grab people at random. Father escaped through his fingers because his palm was too big. Because one sun was shot on the moon and the other sun dared not take off to shine on the earth, the earth was dark and everyone could not go out to work, let alone find food. Life was very difficult. If people have to go out, they must first throw stones, and judge whether the road or the abyss lies ahead by the sound of the stones falling to the ground. A mountain Qiang who was out foraging was hit in the head by a stone thrown by someone, bleeding profusely. The mountain Qiang was in pain and gave an angry roar. At this moment, something strange happened. The hidden sun was scared away by the roar of Shanqiang, which made the sky shine on the earth again, and people resumed their normal lives, but Shanqiang left a beautiful scar on his forehead.
Later, the moon taught the father who shot at the sun all kinds of rituals and taboos, such as: don't be greedy for sweets when hunting and sowing sacrifices, otherwise you will starve or miss your prey; The child's sacrifice should be held at the full moon, otherwise the child will get sick and die. After my father returned to the tribe, he began to teach his people how to deal with sacrifices. When everyone has learned all the sacrificial ceremonies, the orange tree has grown into a big tree. Therefore, several communities of Bunun nationality will use orange leaves as sacrificial vessels when performing sacrificial ceremonies.
Legend of Gypsies-Children of the Moon
Once upon a time, there was a gypsy woman who had been married to her husband for many years and had no children. One night, she prayed to the moon to give her a child. Soon after, she got pregnant as she wished. However, when the child was born, they found that his eyes were gray and his skin was silver, not black skin and dark brown eyes. The gypsy was very angry and thought that his wife had betrayed him and wanted to kill the child.
The gypsy woman couldn't bear it, took the child to the mountain and abandoned him. The moon has taken care of the child since then. When the moon is full, it is the child who behaves well, and when the moon becomes a new moon, it is the child who cries. The moon made him a cradle to make him stop crying. Compare an albino child to a child of the moon.
3 Moon Goddess
Artemis, the goddess of the moon in ancient Greek mythology. She is the sister of Apollo, the sun god. She is beautiful and a very good archer. She is in charge of hunting, often accompanied by her beloved bow and hound. She drives a silver carriage through the night sky every day, representing the cold, loneliness and dead road at night. She is also the patron saint of unmarried girls-she herself is unmarried for life, and there is a sad story in it.
Poseidon, the sea king, had a son named Orion. He likes archery very much. He is a good hunter and likes to run wildly on the sea. The moon goddess likes Oreos very much. They know each other and love each other. They often hunt in the jungle together and run wildly at sea. Apollo, the goddess' brother, hated Oreon and disliked the relationship between his sister and Oreon, so he decided to get rid of Oreon. One day, when Oreon was flying on the sea, Apollo covered Oreon with golden light to hide him, so that no one could see Oreon's true face. Then he encouraged his sister, Moon Goddess, who likes archery, to take gold objects in the distance as targets. Of course, the moon goddess didn't know it was her brother's plot, so she shot an arrow and hit Oregon in the head. Later, when she learned that she had shot her sweetheart Olian, she fell into despair and cried day and night. In order to cherish her love for Oregon forever, she asked Zeus to lift Oregon to the sky, hoping that she could see it at any time when she was running in the sky in a silver carriage. Zeus accepted her request and turned Orion into a constellation in the sky. The goddess swore that she would never get married, and that she would stay with Oregon in the night sky forever.
There is a "story of the moon" among Hezhe people in Heilongjiang Province, northeast of China.
In ancient times, a woman went to the river to fetch water. She looked up at the moon in the sky and thought it was particularly lovely. She couldn't help thinking of her own life experience and all kinds of abuse and despair in her husband's family. She suddenly had an idea, why not ask the Moon Fairy to do me a favor and let herself leave this miserable world! When she began to pray for the moon god, to her great surprise, a blanket that didn't look like a blanket and a boat that didn't look like a boat floated from the distant river and soon came to her and stopped. She tried to stand on tiptoe. Strangely, her whole body tilted up unconsciously. It immediately lifted the woman into the air like magic, and she was scared and grabbed the tree around her. I don't know where she came from, but she uprooted the tree. At this time, the faster the flying carpet flies, the higher she flies. In this way, the woman quickly flew to the moon.
This legend is to tell everyone that those dark shadows on the moon are buckets, poles and trees that the woman and she brought to the moon. Of course, this is just a folk story. There are no such things on the moon, and there is no so-called moon god.
5 A myth of Gaoshan people in China is like this:
It's so dark between heaven and earth that people can only light a lamp. I don't know how many years passed, and I don't know what day it was. Suddenly, a very strong wind blew two people with torches into the sky, and two suns appeared in the sky. The two suns took turns shining on the earth, making people unable to sleep and the crops burnt. I don't know how long it took, but an archer with good archery hit one of the suns with a strong arrow. Since then, its light has weakened and turned into the moon.
Another myth of Gaoshan people says that the sun and the moon were changed by a pair of young men and women: in order to find light for the earth and people, they traveled all over the world and finally flew into the sky. The young man turned into a radiant sun, and the young woman turned into a gentle and lovely moon.
When you look up at the moon, you will immediately find some places on the bright moon that are not so bright. They are slightly darker than the surrounding area, and the degree of darkness is different. The following Yao myth is to explain the alternation of light and shade on the moon.
The moon in the sky turned out to be square and round, so bright that people could not open their eyes and so hot that they could not breathe. A pair of young men and women are determined to promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages and do good things for the people. The strong young man shot a sharp arrow at the moon, trying to make it round bit by bit. However, the moon is still too bright, and the white moon is not beautiful! The young woman is an expert in brocade. She has knitted a beautiful silk brocade for the moon with all her heart, and asked the boys to hang an arrow and shoot it at the moon to cover it. In this way, the moonlight is not so dazzling, and there are patterns, houses, cattle and sheep, osmanthus trees and so on. The moon pattern originally woven on silk brocade has become what we see. Later, young men and women also came to the moon and lived a happy life.
