The Source of Middle Autumn Festival (part three)
Her husband ,Hou Yi was almost lost his control when he heared about Chang’e went to the moon.His heart was bleding for losing his wife.He put some cakes and fruits which are Chang’e’s favourite food on the table in the backyard.Hopefully she could saw him and come back.
It was August 15th in Chinese lunar calendar(which is yesterday in China),he saw the full moon and seemed to see a shadow of women’s.It must have be Chang’e,he thought.But sad is that he would not manage to get there.At last,they didn’t see each other any more.
After that,people make mooncakes and families get together to remenber that day.They wish families and lovers would not be apart.From thoudsand years ago until now,it has become the famous Middle Autumn Festival.
There are many editions about the story Chang’e went to the Moon.The difference are why Chang’e swallowed the pill.Someone says she was infatuated with living so she stealed the pill.Some others says she ate it by a insident.But the results are the same that she went to the Moon and would never be back.She got punishment anyway for any reason if she did something wrong or not,
One of my foreign friends asked me why there was always tragedy about Chinese Fairy Tale.Wise are the ancient Chinese peole,they let us know we should treature people around us more.
A poem written by famous poet Su Shi in Song Dynasty explained the meaning of it very well,here I pick the main idea of what he said:
People sometimes get together,sometimes separation;
The Moon has new moon,full moon;
These rules has no changed since the acient time;
No matter where we are ,how many distance between us,
We share the same moon at this moment.
The story resouse from www.baidu.com ,retelled and traslated by Dove if have any questions about the story,welcome to contact me Welcome to modification my composition.
