It falls on the 15th day of this eighth month of this lunar calendar year. Mid-Autumn Festival is a Chinese holiday that is celebrated all over the world. A Night of Family and Friends on Mid-Autumn Festival Since then, the custom of worshipping the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people.

When the people heard the news that Chang-e had become immortal, they set up an altar under the moon and prayed to the kind Chang-e for good luck and peace. Hou Yi missed his wife, so he sent people to Chang-e’s favourite back garden, set up a warship for Chang-e, put on Chang-e’s usual favourite honey and fresh fruit, to Chang-e in the Moon Palace. At that time, he found that today’s moon was exceptionally bright, and there was a swaying figure resembling Chang-e. Hou Yi was shocked and angry and drew his sword to kill the villains, but Peng Meng had escaped, Hou Yi was so mad that he pounded his chest, grief, and looked up at the night sky to call Chang-e. Hou Yi returned home in the evening, and the maids cried about what happened during the day. As Chang-e was concerned about her husband, she flew down to the nearest earthly moon and became immortal. Chang-e drank the medicine her body immediately floated off the ground, out of the window, and flew to the sky. Chang-e knew that she was no match for Peng Meng, so she turned around and opened the treasure box and took out the immortality pill and swallowed it. Soon after Hou Yi left, Peng Meng entered the house’s backyard with a sword and forced Chang-e to give up the medicine. Few days later, Hou Yi led all the disciples to go hunting, and the evil-minded Peng Meng pretended to be sick and did not go out. Chang-e hid the medicine into the dressing table of the hundred treasure box. However, Hou Yi could not leave his wife behind and temporarily gave the medicine to Chang-e to treasure. Hou yi was told by Queen Mother if you take this medicine, you can instantly ascend to heaven and become immortal. One day, Hou Yi went to the Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek Taoism and asked the Queen Mother for a packet of immortality medicine.

Many aspirants came to learn the art, and the unscrupulous Peng Meng also joined in. Except for hunting, Hou Yi spent his days with his wife.

A hero named Hou Yi, with great strength, sympathized with the suffering people and drew his divine bow to shoot down nine suns in one go, and strictly ordered the last sun to rise and set on time for the benefit of the people.

Ten suns were rising in the sky simultaneously in ancient times, so the crops died and the people could not live. One legend is about Chang-e and her husband Hou Yi who were very good archers. In China, there are many legends about things that happen during this festival. However, this festival was later linked to the moon festival which usually fell on a different date each year. The Mid-Autumn Festival was initially celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar.
