Lunar Legends

Myths and tales whispered by the moon.

Chang'e and the Elixir of Immortality

A tale from Chinese folklore.

In ancient China, the archer Hou Yi was gifted an elixir of immortality by the gods for his bravery in shooting down the nine extra suns that threatened to scorch the earth. Hou Yi loved his wife, Chang'e, deeply and did not wish to leave her. He entrusted the elixir to her, planning to share it with her later.

One day, while Hou Yi was away hunting, a villainous man named Feng Meng attempted to steal the elixir from Chang'e. Desperate to protect it, she drank the entire potion herself. Immediately, she began to float upwards, rising uncontrollably towards the heavens.

Chang'e floated all the way to the moon, becoming the Moon Goddess. Though immortal, she was separated from her beloved husband. It is said that on the night of the full moon, you can see her silhouette on the lunar surface, forever yearning for her lost love. People offer mooncakes to her on this night, hoping to be blessed with beauty and grace.
