| Video Discription | Mid-Autumn Festival, is also known as the Moon Festival or the Mooncake Festival. It is the second-most important festival in China after the Chinese New Year. Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese calendar. In 2024, it falls on Sep.17. The most famous legend of how the Mid-Autumn Festival came about is the romantic love and sad story between HouYi and Chang’e. In the ancient past, ten suns rose in the sky together. It brought great disasters to the people. A powerful and brave hero named Hou Yi who was excellent at archery. He determined to relieve the people of this misery. Hou Yi climbed up to the top of Kunlun Mountain. With all his strength, he drew his bow and shot down nine suns in one breath. He ordered the remaining one to rise and set according to the right time. Hou Yi saved the people, and the people respected him and started to learn martial arts from him. Hou Yi's wife, Chang'e, was a beautiful and kind woman. She often helped the poor villagers and they liked her very much. One day, the Queen Mother of the West on Mount Kunlun gave Hou Yi an elixir of immortality. It is said that people who eat it can become immortal. Hou Yi did not want to leave Chang'e, so he let Chang'e keep the elixir. When they were talking, they were overheard by one of Hou Yi's students, Pang Meng. He was treacherous and greedy. He intended to get the elixir. In the early morning of the fifteenth of August, Hou Yi took his apprentices out for hunting. Pang Meng pretended to be sick and stayed at home. In the evening, Pang Meng broke into Hou Yi's house and forced Chang'e to hand over the elixir. Chang'e was unwilling to give it to such an evil man. So, she tactfully negotiated with Pang Meng. Seeing that Chang'e refused to hand over the elixir, Pang Meng searched everywhere. To protect the elixir, Chang'e swallowed it and flew up into the sky. Since she loved her husband and wanted to live nearby, she chose the moon as her residence. When Hou Yi returned and knew what had happened, he was very sad. He placed fruits and cakes that Chang'e liked to eat in the courtyard and offered sacrifices for his wife. People soon learned of these activities. They also set up these foods in the yard and blessed Chang'e from afar. Since then, on the fifteenth day of August in the Chinese calendar every year, it has become the Mid-Autumn Festival. On that day, people look forward to the family reunion, admire the full moon, eat mooncakes, and play with lanterns together.
