中国古代神话故事英语我要告诉你一个关于太阳女神的超级有趣故事
Hey there! Do you want to hear an awesome story about the sun goddess from ancient Chinese mythology? Let's dive into this fascinating tale together!
Once upon a time, in a world beyond our own, there lived a powerful and beautiful goddess named Chang'e. She was the embodiment of the sun and ruled over the sky with her trusty companion, a magical rabbit who could make endless amounts of elixir for immortality.
Chang'e fell deeply in love with a mortal man named Hou Yi. He was known for his bravery and archery skills. The two were meant to be together, but their love was forbidden because they came from different worlds.
One day, Hou Yi received nine golden arrows from the gods to defeat nine evil solar deities that threatened humanity. As he shot each arrow at its target, one by one disappeared into thin air.
In celebration of his victory, Hou Yi decided to taste some elixir left behind by Chang'e while she was away on another mission. But little did he know that drinking even just a sip would lead him down the path of immortality – something not intended for mortals like him.
When Chang'e returned home and found out what had happened, she realized that if Hou Yi drank more elixir or became immortal himself through other means such as eating certain plants or herbs from heaven (like peaches), it would cause chaos between their two worlds. So she decided to leave Earth forever and live on Moon Palace alone with her loyal rabbit companion.
As time passed by, people missed Chang'e so much that they began calling themselves "the descendants of Cháng'é" which literally means "descendants of change". It also symbolized how life changes without constant sunlight – just like when night falls after sunset – reminding them all about their beloved sun goddess who once brought warmth and light into their lives.
Nowadays people still tell stories about Chang'e during China's Mid-Autumn Festival where families gather around tables filled with delicious mooncakes shaped like crescent moons or rabbits (as homage to her faithful pet). They share tales about how this celestial beauty maintains peace among humans while keeping watch over us under starry skies at night until dawn breaks again - bringing new beginnings full circle back onto our earth below as we continue celebrating life's cycles throughout every season year round!
