There is an explanation for the origin of the Mid-Autumn festival.

Some people say that a long time ago, there were ten SUNS in the sky, and the crops were too hard to grow. Then a man named hou yi was so great that he carried the foot of the sun and shot down the nine SUNS.

Later, houyi married a woman named chang 'e. In addition to teaching his disciples and hunting, houyi was with his wife all day long. Everyone admires the loving couple.

One day, hou yi went to the kunlun mountain and asked for a packet of undead medicine. It is said that if you take the medicine, you can raise the fairy.

Houyi had chang 'e kept the medicine, but he was caught by the little man. He wanted to steal the undead medicine and make himself immortal.

Three days later, after houyi went hunting, peng meng pretended to be ill. Soon after houyi left, the awning held a sword into the backyard and forced chang 'e to hand over the undead.?

Chang e knew that she was not a rival, and took out the undead medicine and swallowed it. Since chang 'e was concerned about her husband, she flew to the nearest moon and became a fairy.

In the evening, when houyi knew what had happened, he wanted to kill peng meng, but the little man had already fled. Suddenly, he saw the moon above there is a shadow, he is just like that but he how also can not with the shadow, because three steps forward, the shadow also follow three steps forward.

Later hou yi abandoned, return home, because of the caring wife, in chang 'e's favorite garden there is a sweet, for fruit and so on.

After the hundred sex knew this thing later, also learn some incense, for fruit and so on later developed to eat moon cake. I hope that chang 'e can bless him or her.

關于中秋節的由來有以下一種解釋。

有的人說：很久很久以前，天上有10個太陽，曬得莊稼寸草不生。后來一個名叫后羿的人，力大無窮，運足神力把9個太陽射了下來。

后來，后羿娶了一個名為嫦娥的女人。后羿除了教徒弟和狩獵外，終日與妻子同在。人人都羨慕這對恩愛的夫妻。

有一天，后羿到昆侖山訪友求道，便向皇母娘娘求得一包不死藥。據說，服下藥，就能升仙。

后羿讓嫦娥保管那包藥，但不巧被小人蓬蒙看見了，他想偷吃不死藥，讓后自己成仙。

三天后，后羿外去打獵，蓬蒙假裝生病沒去。待后羿走后不久，篷蒙手持寶劍闖入后院，逼嫦娥交出不死藥。嫦娥知道自己不是篷蒙的對手，就拿出不死藥一口吞了下去。由于嫦娥牽掛丈夫，便飛落到人間最近的月亮上成了神仙。

傍晚，待后羿知道所發生的事時，想殺了蓬蒙時，可小人“小人”早已逃之夭夭了。忽然，他看見月亮上面有一個影子，他就跟，可是他怎么也跟不到那個影子，因為他前進三步，影子也跟著他前進三步。

后來后羿就放棄了，回到家，由于牽掛妻子，就在嫦娥平時最愛的花園那里點香、供水果等。

后來百性知道這件事以后，就也學點香、供水果等后來就發展到了吃月餅。希望嫦娥能保佑他(她)們。
