"Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and her heart is always in the blue sea and blue sky." These are two lines from the poem " Chang'e " by the poet Li Shangyin. The story of Chang'e flying to the moon has been circulating throughout my country as early as modern times.
According to legend, Chang'e is the niece of Emperor Tian. She is beautiful and the Emperor of Heaven likes her very much. She will give her whatever she wants. She lived a prosperous life in the Heavenly Palace.
  Houyi is a general under the Emperor of Heaven. He has mastered good martial arts and has high archery skills. He can hit every shot outside of a hundred steps.
 In advance, the Tianlang (wolf) harmed the Tiangong, and the Emperor of Heaven was very afraid and sent several generals to him, but he failed to pacify. The heavenly soldiers and generals were all frightened and did not dare to go out. Houyi volunteered to shoot and kill Tianlang. He had a long sword on his back, a quiver hanging on his waist, holding a red bow in his hand, drove a steamer, ran forward, fought with the Tianlang for several days and nights, and finally shot the Tianlang to death with an arrow. From then on, the heavenly court became peaceful. Emperor Tian appointed Houyi as the general of protection and took charge of the protection army.
  When Chang'e saw Houyi gaining the trust of the Emperor of Heaven and looking mighty and handsome, she made up her mind to marry him.
Chang'e knew that to achieve this marriage, she would be the master of the Heavenly Emperor. She asked the waiter to get a thousand pearls into the Milky Way and then inlaid the pearls on a crown. She took the crown as a gift to the Emperor of Heaven, asking the Emperor of Heaven to fulfill her marriage with Houyi.
 The Emperor of Heaven knew that Houyi fell in love with Fuxi's daughter (daughter) Luoshen . He didn't want to care about these nostalgic business, but he couldn't resist Chang'e's repeated requests and accepted such precious gifts as her, so it was hard to refuse. He thought that Chang'e was his niece. If he got married to Houyi and had a layer of relative relationship, Houyi would become his caring person. Thinking of this, he said to Chang'e, "I will slowly think of a solution for this matter."
After a few days, Emperor Tian entrusted the Luoshen to transfer the Luoshui to the Heavenly Palace and let her manage the Luoshui and not allow her to return to the Heavenly Court.


A few days later, the Emperor of Heaven ordered a banquet to invite Houyi to have a drink. He secretly asked someone to put a medicine called Forgetful Herb in the wine that Houyi ate. After eating this wine, Houyi forgot about the past love with the God of Luo. When Houyi was drunk when he was drunk, the Emperor of Heaven ordered Chang'e to come out to toast Houyi. Chang'e can be regarded as a beauty in the Heavenly Palace. With her brilliance and radiance, she adds a bit of beauty. The Emperor of Heaven pointed at Chang'e and said to Houyi, "This is my niece. People say that she is pleasing to the eye and has extremely skillful craftsmanship. She made this crown by herself. I want to marry her to you, but I wonder what the general wants?"
 Houyi drank the wine of Forgetfulness and was drunk again at this time. He looked at Chang'e and nodded at the Emperor of Heaven.
 In this way, Chang'e became Houyi's wife.
 Once, Emperor Tian received a report from Emperor Yao of the Lower Realm, saying that there are many evil beasts in the world that harm them. Among these evil beasts are 结合 (yà yǔ), chiseled teeth , Jiuying , strong wind, sealed pigs, etc., which are very powerful. The shape of the snake is very scary. It has a dragon head, four claws like tigers, and roars like crazy leopards. I don’t know how many people this ferocious beast has eaten. Chisel teeth are also a monster. It has the head of a beast, the body of a poisonous snake, and its teeth are like sharp serrated teeth. Jiuying is a nine-headed water monster. When it commits an offense, the four heads on the left can spit fire, and the four heads on the right can spray water; the big fire can burn crops to death, and the big water can sink the village. These evil beasts are in danger in various places at the same time, and the people cannot produce or live.
  The Emperor of the Upper Realm received a report from Emperor Yao of the Lower Realm, so he sent heavenly soldiers and generals to the human world to remove the harm. He sent several groups, all of which were swallowed by evil beasts. Emperor Tian was very afraid and asked Houyi to protect his and Tianting's safety.
Houyi said: "If evil beasts are not removed, there will be no peace in the world and the heavenly court will not be able to ensure safety." Houyi automatically asked to remove these beasts that harmed people. The Emperor of Heaven was afraid that the evil beasts would endanger the heavenly court, so he agreed with Houyi's request.
Houyi came to the world with a red bow on his back and a quiver on his back. With his magical arrow, he shot the Chiao in the field of Chohua, removed Jiuying from the evil water, and shot Dafengma to death in the lake of Qingqiu. He followed the footsteps of the sage, fought in the north and south, and finally shot it to death.Feng Pi was captured in the mulberry forest, and the poisonous snake that harmed people was removed on the Dongting .
 Houyi was not only a great harm for the people, but the people were grateful for his merits, and the Emperor of Heaven also granted Houyi his official position.
Houyi is respected and loved by the people and granted by the Emperor of Heaven, so Chang'e is naturally happy. But she felt very dissatisfied because Houyi often went outside to do things for everyone and rarely accompanied her in the palace.
 In advance, there were ten suns in the sky, and these ten suns were all the sons of the Emperor of Heaven. At first, the ten suns were still very straight, and they took turns to come out every day. The production and life of the people is normal. Afterwards, some suns gradually became arrogant and domineering with the power of Laozi . Sometimes eight or nine people go all the way, and act recklessly. The water in the rivers, lakes and Han Dynasties dried up, and the Dragon King was afraid and hated them. The crops on the ground have dried up, and the people are so angry that they hate them. But the Emperor of Heaven is their son, so how can people complain about the suffering!
Among these ten suns, only the smallest one is in good heart. He often advised the nine brothers to calm down and not to go out and have fun. But if the brothers don’t listen, he can’t do anything about it.
 Ten suns went out in groups to make trouble, and the people complained. The report sent by Emperor Yao from the lower realm was suppressed halfway through the road if it could not reach the hands of Emperor Tian.
  I don’t know how Houyi found out about this.
 One day, Houyi walked out of the Heavenly Palace and went outside to do business. He happened to meet a group of suns riding in a steamer car, pointing fingers after finger, making noise. They put the Sun Old Ten in the center. The Sun Old Ten lowered his head, as if he was captured.
Houyi was very sad to see these suns ruthlessly, bringing disaster to the world. He knew that they were the pride of the Emperor of Heaven, and he was just a general under the Emperor of Heaven, and could not control their affairs. But when I look at the sins suffered by the people, I feel that I cannot ignore them. He thought again that if he came out to stop him, it would also involve Chang'e's relationship, and there would be a layer of difficulty. No matter how easy it is, but after all the beasts were removed, the common people had just lived a few good days and encountered the cruelty of these suns again. How could they bear it! He decided to persuade them with kind words.
  Who knew that as soon as Houyi spoke, he was ridiculed by several suns. Hou Nong patiently continued to persuade them:
  "I advise the young masters to go back and rest. Look, the people are about to die of heat." Before he finished speaking, he heard a scream and scolding: "Get out, get out! We are willing to do this, the people's hot and cold matters!"
 Houyi wanted to take out his bow to scare them: "Young masters, go back, stop making trouble. I am really not humble to make trouble again."
 "You dare! What are you! If you medd more, I will inform my father to suck your tendons and peel your skin!"
 This made Hou Yi angry. But he still held back his spirit of persuasion: "Young masters, don't be too willful! If I don't listen to the advice, I really want to shoot an arrow."
 The Sun Old Ten also whispered to his brothers: "Let's go back, General Houyi's words are reasonable. Besides, if he hadn't shot Tianlang to death that time, we wouldn't have lived tomorrow." The nine brothers not only did not listen to the little brother's advice, but instead stood side by side, shooting the strong light towards the earth. He also decomposed part of their hot collection into a small white dot and stabbed Houyi like a silver needle.
  Sun Lao Shi saw that his brother did not listen to the advice and let his relationship with Houyi was very calm, so he slipped away quietly while everyone was not paying attention.
 Houyi could no longer bear it. He raised his divine bow, took an arrow, aimed at the Sun Boss, and shot it with a "whirlwind" arrow. The arrow was not tilted, and it penetrated the Sun Boss' heart. In an instant, a ball of fire burst in the sky, and the fire flew around, golden feathers drifted, and then a ball of red fell to the ground.
 People stepped forward and saw that it turned out to be a golden three-legged crow (crow).
 At this time, there were eight other suns in the space, and they still refused to restrain themselves and continued to make trouble there. Houyi thought that if he wanted to eliminate harm for the people, he would not care much about it. Besides, the disaster had already begun, and he did not do it, so he opened his bow and arrows. He fired eight arrows in a row, and eight suns fell to the ground again.
  After a moment, the ground gradually became cooler, and Emperor Yao and the people in the lower realm all knelt on the ground to salute Houyi for saving his life. Some people are worried: "Will he come to take revenge if another sun is not shot to death?"
  Houyi commented: "Don't worry. The sun is kind-hearted. He often advised his brothers not to harm the people, and he also did some useful things. He made contributions to the people, so don't suspect him."
  From then on, there was only one sun in the sky, and he could not shine on the entire earth at the same time, so he arranged the time:
 Detect from under the Fusang Tree in the East China Sea every day, after a long journey on a day, he set the Kunlun Mountains in the west; then turn to the Fusang Tree, take a nap, and then rise from the east. In this way, day after day, we give the shining and warmth to the world. He became the most beloved sun god in the world.
The Emperor of Heaven was very angry when he learned that Houyi had shot his nine sons to death. In a fit of anger, Houyi was driven out of the heavenly court and exiled to the world to suffer.
Houyi thought to himself, as the Emperor of Heaven, you should be fair, but I didn’t expect that you would protect your shortcomings like this. Do you really don’t know that your son is doing evil outside all day long? Houyi was very sad. This was not only for the sake of his demotion, but also because he never expected that the Emperor of Heaven would have such selfish intentions.
 Chang'e married Houyi and wanted to enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of her life, but she did not expect Houyi to lose the favor of the Emperor of Heaven and was demoted to the world, and drove her out of the Heavenly Palace. She scattered her unhappy on Houyi every day.
Houyi knew that Chang'e had never suffered any grievances since she was a child, and now she was implicated by herself and demoted from the Heavenly Palace. She felt a little sorry for her. No matter how Chang'e complained, he didn't think about it and tried his best to comfort her.
  Who knew that Chang'e's temper became stronger and stronger, and cursed Houyi and said, "The Emperor of Heaven respects you and made you an official. You don't understand the Emperor of Heaven's will. You show off your own abilities and was demoted from the Heavenly Court. Even I will suffer with you!"
  Houyi carefully commented to her: "It's not that I intend to show off, but they really caused the people to suffer. How can I see people suffering without caring about it? Besides..." Before Houyi could say further, Chang'e cried and screamed, and started a big quarrel with Houyi.
  Houyi eliminated the harm to the people and was demoted, and he was already very sad. Chang'e blamed him every day, and felt extremely bored. Fortunately, he was open-minded and was a person who didn't want to sit at home, so he put on his bow on his back, rode his horse, and went hunting in the mountains and forests every day. He often temporarily forgets the unhappiness in his heart by fighting with wild beasts.
  Chang'e sat at home every day and cried for a while, and then got angry. Houyi came back to comfort her, but she just lost her temper and complained about Houyi's grievances. Houyi said, "Although life is not as good as the Heavenly Palace, it is not wrong. Look, in order to take care of us, the people give us the melons and vegetables that they are reluctant to eat." Chang'e said frowningly: "What's the use of the people to us? If you lose the favor of the Emperor of Heaven, you will never be able to return to the Heavenly Palace again. Isn't it all over?"
 "It's both hard and joy here. Isn't it great to be with the people all the way?"
 "What a good thing Is it! In the world, you will grow old in a few years. What else does it mean to lose your youth and brightness? "
"We can help the people here to do something better than being idle in the Heavenly Palace. What's the terrible thing about old age!"
"You are not afraid, but I am still afraid! If you have the ability, just think of a way to live forever!"
 In this way, Chang'e is hiding in Houyi's ears every day, and Houyi is really annoyed.
  On that day, Houyi came back from hunting. Chang'e talked a little and said, "I think I'm coming. When I was in the Heavenly Palace, I heard that Queen Mother of the West would prepare immortal medicine . Go and beg her and get a few doses to take."
  "Where is Queen Mother of the West?" Houyi asked absent-mindedly.
  "Although it's far away in Kunlun Mountain, it won't take much trouble for you to go for this matter."
 "Okay, since Queen Mother of the West has such a elixir, I will get some to eat with you tomorrow."
 Chang'e was happy. On this day, she didn't complain except urging Houyi to set off early.
 Kunlun Mountain is a big mountain in the West. It is said that it is the imperial capital of Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor . Queen Mother of the West also lives here. There is a deep and weak water surrounding the bottom of Kunlun Mountain. The weak water is deep and cannot be seen. Even if a feather falls into the water, it will sink to the bottom, and the manned boat cannot float on the water. Weak water There are volcanoes surrounded outside, and the fire on the volcano is constantly resting day and night. No matter what, as soon as you touch the fire, it will immediately turn into ashes. Although Queen Mother of the West has a magic medicine for immortality, no one has ever obtained this medicine because most people cannot get it. The scenery of Kunlun Mountain is beautiful, the climate is suitable, and it is as warm as spring all year round. The short green trees on the mountain are evergreen all year round, and all kinds of bright flowers bloom all over the mountain. The birds in the forest are singing in a very pleasant voice.
 Houyi came to the foot of the mountain, and with his divine power and unyielding will, he overcame many difficulties. Finally, he passed the siege of water and fire, climbed to the top of the peak, entered the palace gate of Queen Mother of the West, and met Queen Mother of the West.
 The Queen Mother of the West was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with three blue birds flying around. Queen Mother of the West had long heard that Houyi was apart from great harm in the world. She praised his courage and dedication and expressed sympathy for his misfortune. When she learned Houyi's purpose, she took out a pack of medicine and said, "This medicine is made after refining. The immortal tree blooms every three thousand years, bears every three thousand years, and matures only in three thousand years. This fruit is very rare, and this medicine is very rare. Take it away, if you eat it alone, you can ascend to heaven. If two people eat it, even if you cannot ascend to heaven, you can live forever."
Houyi asked for the elixir of immortality, and walked back happily, preparing to go home and eat it all the way with Chang'e.
 As soon as Houyi arrived home, he showed the elixir to Chang'e and said, "Now you should freehand painting, right? Tomorrow is a good day, let's eat it all the way." He also told Chang'e in detail if one person could eat it and two people would eat it together.
Chang'e looked at the pack of medicine and was very happy. When I looked at Houyi again, Houyi's face was dark and thin. Judging from his tired appearance, I knew that he had suffered a lot of hardship and fatigue this time.
Houyi is indeed very tired. As soon as he arrived home, he didn't have to eat or drink water. He sat there and fell asleep after a while.
  Chang'e saw her husband being so tired, and couldn't help but think of the days after he left Kunlun Mountain: since Houyi left, Emperor Yao and the local people often came to see her and often brought her delicious food such as rice, flour, melon, fruits, vegetables, etc., and her life was much better than before. But Chang'e always feels that the world is far worse than the Heavenly Palace. She wanted to return to the Heavenly Palace with all her heart.
  "If two people eat, they can live forever; if one person eats, they can ascend to heaven." Houyi's words echoed in her ears, and scenes of fairies dancing, music playing music in the palace, and chefs eating and other scenes appearing in her mind. She sighed and said, "Although life on earth is good, how can it be compared with the palace?"
 Chang'e's hand couldn't help but stretched out to the medicine bag. As soon as his hand touched the pack of medicine, his heart couldn't help but pound. She looked at Houyi again, and Houyi was sleeping tremendously.
  "What should I do? Return to the Heavenly Palace and still stay in the world?" Chang'e kept muttering in her heart. She couldn't make up for the moment. After looking at Houyi again, Houyi was sleeping soundly and a smile appeared on his face. Chang'e felt a little fever on her face for a moment. His hands trembled for a moment and then shrank back.
 Chang'e calmed down for a moment, reached out to pick up the paper bag, and was about to open it. "Chang'e..." Houyi murmured in his dream. This sudden sentence made Chang'e shudder. She looked at Houyi, and Houyi was still asleep, saying intermittently, "Tomorrow is Gu Dan... We both eat all the way..." I couldn't hear the previous words clearly. It turned out that Houyi was talking in his sleep.
 Chang'e was distracted, so she stood up, walked around the house, then sat at the table, unfolding the medicine bag without raising her head, and quickly delivered it to her mouth. As soon as the medicine was in his mouth, it was sweet and cool, and he swallowed it quickly. She walked out of the room and the round moon hung for a long time.Before she could decide what to do at this moment, she felt her body flying lightly, rising higher and higher... "Where are you going?" Chang'e thought. It is inappropriate to return to the Heavenly Palace at this time. Before anyone could find someone to do it in advance, the Emperor of Heaven would not forgive her, and the gods would also ridicule her. Chang'e was very confused at this time. Where did she go? She couldn't make up her mind. At this time, she rose higher and higher, not far from html January palace
. Chang'e didn't have time to think about it.
  Suddenly, a thought flashed into her mind: "There is no other place to go, so let's hide in the moon palace for a few days first."
 In this way, she kept running towards the round moon.
There is a palace in the moon called Guanghan Palace . Although Guanghan Palace is magnificent on the outside, it is extremely deserted on the inside. There is nothing else here except a white rabbit, a toad, and an osmanthus tree. At that time, Wu Gang, who was punished to cut down trees in the Moon Palace, had not yet gone. Chang'e didn't expect that Guanghan Palace was so deserted.
 At this time, facing the loneliness, Chang'e was very disappointed and discouraged, but she had already come and could only stay here. But the longer the time, the more I feel that it is so deserted here. Only then did she think that her husband gave her a lot of benefits, that of the fun in the family, that everything in the world is worthy of condolences. She regretted, why didn't she feel it was valuable while she was going along the way in advance! She blamed herself again. If you have a broad mind in advance and if the two of you take the medicine, they will live forever. Wouldn't it be better than living here in this deserted Moon Palace!
 Chang'e really regretted it at this time. How she wanted to return to the world and live with her husband all the way, but it was too late.
 From then, Chang'e lived alone in the Moon Palace. Become an immortal in the Moon Palace.
