• He called his lovely wife’s name day and night. One night he noticed with astonishment how shining and round the moon was and saw a moving shadow that looked like Chang-Eh.
• Hou-Yi commanded all the servants to put incense, fruit and candies out to worship Chang-Eh who was in the Moon Palace.

People heard that Chang-Eh had become a fairy. They wished to obtain
peace and happiness from her. Since that day, the
custom of people worshiping Chang-Eh in the
Moon Palace has spread and become the Moon
Festival .

The Legend of the Moon Festival
According to the legend, there were three supernatural beings who became poor and old men. They asked a fox, a mokey and a bunny for food. The fox and monkey shared their food with those three men. But the bunny couldn’t do anything except make his sacrifices.

• He begged them to please eat himself.
He jumped into the fire. The three supernatural beings were deeply affected by the bunny’s sacrifices. They called the bunny “Jade Rabbit” and took it to accompany Chang- Eh in the moon palace.

The Origin of the Moon Festival(2)For over one thousand years, Chinese people have eaten moon cakes at the Moon Festival. During the Yuan dynasty, the Chinese people were taken charge of by the Mongol people. Unfortunately, the Mongols ruled the Chinese people very strictly.

For instance, the Mongols charged a very heavy tax. They did not treat Chinese people in the right way. They were not fair or loyal to them. For example, if a mongol hit a Chinese person the Mongol would pay the Chinese only a cow. In contrast, if the Chinese hit the Mongol, then the Chinese would be killed.

During this period, the Chinese people were waiting for the proper occasion to chase the Mongol people out of China. Once the Chinese army prepared to take over the government during the full moon in August. Yuan-Chang was the leader; he had an assistant, Bou-Wen.

He told Bou-Wen to give everybody the following message : A terrible disaster will happen at the end of this year. He asked people to buy and eat moon cakes to avoid disaster. Meanwhile, Bou-Wen put a piece of paper into each moon cake. On it was written, “kill the Mongols then receive and welcome our army.”

The people did as they were asked. Finally, the Chinese army chased the Mongols out of China and established a new government, the Ming Dynasty.

The moon cake is also called reunion cake because of its round shape. In Chinese characters, the round shape means “ get together with all your family.” The moon is round and full in the sky on the Moon Festival Day. We usually barbeque, eat moon cakes and pomelos (citrus fruit), and make Chinese tea at the Moon Festival. http://gb.chinareviewnews.com/doc/1007/3/4/0/100734034.html?coluid=7&kindid=0&docid=100734034

There are many pretty and lovely fairy tales in Chinese history. No matter whether it is true or not, those stories and traditions are still shared among our Chinese people. Moreover the Moon Festival has become very important part of Chinese culture.
