用英語講好中囯故事——Chang'e Flying to The Moon(嫦娥逩月)
Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history. It is one of the four top traditional Chinese festivals, along with the Spring Festival, the Qingming Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival.
There are many different legends about the festival but the most famous one is about a kind woman--Chang'e.
Chang'e married a brave young man named Houyi, who shot down nine suns.They led a happy life.
Houyi wished to be with his wife forever, so he asked for an elixir from the Queen of Heaven.
One day,when Houyi went out for hunting, a greedy man Pangmeng broke into their home and forced Chang'e to give him the elixir.
Chang'e thought Pangmeng was very bad, she wouldn't give the elixir to such a man. So she took it herself.
The elixir made Chang’e float away from the earth and fly high into the sky. Finally she reached the moon.
Hearing this, Houyi was brokenhearted and he shouted to the sky. Suddenly, he found that the moon was extremely bright and there was a figure which looked like his wife Chang'e in the moon.
He decided to make his wife’s favourite cakes and share them with her in the moonlight.
From then on, the custom of worshipping the moon and eating moon cakes spread among the people.
