It is said that every month 15 and 16, on the Lunar New Year reunion night, people should abstain from burning incense and recite it ten times to celebrate the happiness of the family. However, there are not many temples dedicated to Taiyin Xing Jun among the Han people. Legend has it that children are malnourished and sick, and praying to the moon and star king is very effective.
Taoism follows the ancient religious thought of China, so the belief in stars has become an important part of the doctrine, especially for the sun, moon, Beidou, five stars, twenty-eight stars and other things closely related to the fate and future of life.
There are many legends about the moon in past dynasties. Besides Yutu and WU GANG, the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon's story is the most talked about. It is said that Hou Yi was secretly eaten by his wife Chang 'e and became a fairy in the moon palace after seeking the elixir of life from the Empress Dowager. When Chang 'e arrived at the Moon Palace, she found it strangely deserted and not as beautiful as he imagined. But he was afraid that Hou Yi would kill him, and he dared not return to the earth, so he had to live alone in the Moon Palace.
