Oh? What are they? Tell me!
According to legend, a long time ago, there was a man named Hou Yi who got an elixir. After his apprentice knew, on August 15th, he forced Hou Yi's wife Chang-Er to hand over the elixir. Chang-Er was unwilling, swallowed the elixir and flew to the moon palace. After Hou Yi learned about it, he sadly offered fruits in the courtyard, expressing his longing for Chang-Er. The villagers followed and started worshipping the moon.
