Happy Moon Festival 中秋節愉快

The Moon Festival, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is celebrated with various legends, but one of the most famous is the story of Chang’e and Hou Yi.

The Legend of Chang’e and Hou Yi

Long ago, there were ten suns in the sky, scorching the earth and causing great suffering. Hou Yi, a skilled archer, shot down nine of the suns, saving the world. As a reward, he received an elixir of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West. However, Hou Yi did not want to become immortal without his beloved wife, Chang’e, so he left the elixir with her.

One day, while Hou Yi was away, a greedy apprentice named Pang Meng tried to steal the elixir. To protect it, Chang’e drank the elixir and was lifted to the moon, where she became the Moon Goddess. Heartbroken, Hou Yi displayed the fruits and cakes that Chang’e loved, hoping to show her that he missed her.

Moved by their love, the Mother of the Moon allowed Chang’e to reunite with Hou Yi once a year on the full moon of the eighth lunar month, which is now celebrated as the Mid-Autumn Festival12.

During this festival, people gather to worship the moon, eat mooncakes, and enjoy family reunions, symbolizing the reunion of Chang’e and Hou Yi.

KDS wishes you and your family a very happy and wonderful Moon Festival. 
KDS 祝福您與親愛的家人一個非常愉快的中秋佳節.
