Hou Yi shot nine suns, which was respected and loved by the people. Many people with lofty ideals came here to study and study as teachers. The treacherous and cunning Feng Meng also mixed in. Hou Yi asked the Queen Mother of the West for a packet of elixir and gave it to Chang 'e for safekeeping. Feng Meng took advantage of Hou Yi's going out to force Chang 'e to hand over the elixir of life. Chang 'e swallowed the elixir in a crisis, and soon floated off the ground and fell to the moon to become a fairy. Hou Yi went home to find his wife, beat his chest and feet, looked up at the bright moon and called Chang 'e's name for a long time. His call shook the earth, and Chang 'e appeared on the bright moon. Hou Yi hurriedly put on the incense table, put on her favorite honey and fresh fruit, and sacrificed Chang 'e at the Moon Palace.
There are many versions about the plot that Chang 'e ate the fairy medicine. Hou Yi and Chang 'e were originally sent from heaven to earth. Because Chang 'e didn't want to live a lonely human life for a long time, she stole the elixir and became an ugly "toad" after flying to the moon. She was punished for pounding the elixir all day, day after day, year after year, losing her former freedom and loneliness. This is one of the widely circulated sayings.
There is a popular saying that the origin of Chang 'e is very surprising. Chang 'e's father is the daughter of the emperor, one of the three emperors and five emperors. According to historical records, Chang 'e only gave birth to two children, of which the boy was a bad emperor and the girl was the Emperor Chang 'e. In fact, Chang 'e was born as the second generation of a god, and she didn't have to be responsible for many things like the immortal behind her, because Chang 'e was the moon god.
