Chang'e and the Legend of the Ten Suns - The Origin of the Moon Festival - Chinese Mythology

In a distant era, the Earth suffered under the tyranny of ten suns. The legendary archer Hou Yi was summoned by the Jade Emperor to resolve the crisis. With an ancient wooden bow and phoenix-feathered arrows, Hou Yi shot down nine suns, leaving one. In gratitude, the Jade Emperor offered Hou Yi an immortality potion. He kept it safe, but his disciple Gan tried to steal it. Chang'e, Hou Yi's wife, drank the potion to prevent Gan from taking it and was taken to the Moon. There, she built a Crystal Palace and befriended a Jade Rabbit. Hou Yi, devastated, vowed to find his wife and faced many challenges to reach the Moon. During the Moon Festival, people honor Chang'e and Hou Yi with mooncakes, remembering the beauty and sadness of their love.

No.I think that story is wrong. The Jade Emperor was actually very angry when Hou Yi killed 9 out of the 10 Sun because they are still the emperor's children. The Jade Emperor took away Hou Yi's and Chang'e's immortality in retaliation, and it was Xi Wangmu - goddess of the west - who took pity on the two and gave them a bottle of the Elixir of Immortality

❤🤍💙 all your video's mate👍

[@truthspreader1996]

*well.........* 1) Chang'e didn't have to actually drink it.......she could have just tossed it and let it break on the ground so nobody could have it. 2) The story doesn't say anything about the apprentice friend guy being evil, yeah he was a little greedy, a little envious but not bad. I don't know......let him drink the elixir and float away.
