嫦娥奔月的故事
Long, long time ago,10 suns appeared in the sky. They looked like 10 fireballs,which scorched the entire earth.
There was a sharp shooter named Hou Yi who attempted to help people to shoot down the excess suns. Hou Yi shot down nine suns at one time, and left the last one. Hou Yi commanded that the sun should rise and fall on time each day to benefit the people.
Because of his contribution in shooting down the suns and saving the world,the queen Wang Mu gave Hou Yi a magic pill which could make him a god and became immortal.
Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife Chang-e alone and became immortal. So he gave the elixir to her and asked her to keep it. This sense was seen by anevil minded man whose name was Pang Meng.
After Hou Yi became famous, many people came to learn the archery from him. Peng Meng was one of them. One day Hou Yi went out for hunting with his disciples leaving chang-e at home alone. Peng Meng pretended to be ill, and did not go with them.
After Hou Yi left,Pang Meng broke into Hou Yi's house with sword. And forced Chang-e to give him the pill. Chang-e worried that Pang Meng will bring disasters to human being after he got the magic.
So she swallowed the pill. After swallowing the pill, Chang-e felt that her body became very light immediately. And she flew to the heaven. Chang-e worried about Hou Yi. So she only flew to the moon which was nearest to the earth and became the moon goddess.
Chang-e was accompanied by a jade rabbit in the moon every day. She missed her husband very much. So did her husband Hou Yi. He also wanted to meet Chang-e again.
A god taught Hou Yi a method: Using flour to make a cake which looked like the full moon in August 15th. And placing it on the Northwest of the house. Then calling Chang-e’s name continuousl. Then Chang-e would come back and reunite with him.
Hou Yi made many cakes according to the god's method on August 15th. And Chang-e really came back home from the moon. Later on, people called this round flour-made cake “moon cake” and passed it on from generation to generation.
从古至今,都流传着很多关于中秋节的美丽传说,比如“嫦娥奔月”“吴刚砍桂”以及“玉兔捣药”等传说。今天说一说“嫦娥奔月”这个小故事吧。
相传,远古时候天上同时有十个太阳出现,晒得庄稼枯死,河流干涸,百姓们都快要生存不下去了。
这时,有一个叫做后羿的人,力大无穷,他看见老百姓们的生活很是同情,于是就登上了昆仑山顶,运足神力,拉满神弓,将天上的太阳射下来9个,并命令最后一个太阳朝升暮落,造福人间。
后羿因此成为了百姓们尊敬的人,后来后羿娶了一位善良美丽的妻子,名叫嫦娥,两个人的感情非常好。
后羿在射下了太阳之后,有很多人慕名前来拜师学艺,有一个叫做蓬蒙的心术不正的人混了进来,跟着后羿拜师学艺。
一天,后羿到昆仑山拜访朋友,巧遇王母娘娘,就向王母娘娘求了一包不死药,据说,服下此药就能升天成仙。可是后羿不愿意撇下自己的妻子,就把不死药交给了嫦娥保管。嫦娥将不死药放进了梳妆台的百宝匣里,不料却被心术不正的蓬蒙看见了,于是就起了歹心。
几天后,后羿带领徒弟外出打猎的时候,蓬蒙借口生病留了下来。后羿走后不久,蓬蒙就手持宝剑闯入了后宅内院,威逼嫦娥交出不死药。嫦娥知道自己不是蓬蒙对手,情急之下就拿出不死药一口吞了下去。嫦娥吞下药之后,身子立马就飘向了天空,嫦娥牵挂自己的丈夫,于是就落在了离人间最近的月亮上成了仙。
等到后羿回到家,知道出事之后,拿起剑去杀恶徒,蓬蒙却早已逃走,后羿只能对着天空呼唤嫦娥的名字。不久后,他发现月亮上有一个人影很像嫦娥,于是就经常对着月亮思念自己的妻子,拿出嫦娥平时喜爱吃的鲜果蜜食,遥寄相思之情。
百姓们在得知嫦娥奔月成仙的消息之后,纷纷在月下摆设香案,向善良的嫦娥祈求吉祥平安。从此中秋赏月拜月的风俗就这样传开了。
