The moon in aboriginal oral literature is purely an entity with a lively life; in the mythology of the Ami people, the sun and moon are a couple, and they often visit the gods who were born from the sky and became human ancestors.
In another Amis myth, the moon taught the brother and sister who survived the flood how to get close so that they could have normal children. Because the brother and sister followed the sun’s advice and became husband and wife, but they gave birth to a child. Some weird creatures; the moon told them: "Because you are brother and sister, you are not supposed to get married, so I have to dig a hole in the mat and place it between you, so that you can have good heirs." Later, the brother and sister couple actually gave birth to four children. That is the ancestor of mankind; another story tells about a girl who was often abused by her stepmother. In order to prevent others from seeking justice for her, she would rather ascend to heaven. Five days later, everyone saw the girl's figure on the moon.
The sun-shooting myths of many ethnic groups regard the moon as what it became after being hit by the sun; for example, the Atayal story tells that there were two suns in the sky in the past, and there was no distinction between day and night in the sky and earth. Human life was extremely complex. It was painful, so three young men each carried babies on their backs and embarked on a distant journey to shoot the sun. After all the babies they carried were adults, they arrived at the place where they shot the sun. One person shot an arrow and hit the sun. The sun bled, lost its light and heat, and became the moon. , the black shadow is the mark of the arrow wound. The myth of the Tsou people is similar to this but goes a step further and says that the red stones seen on the ground are stained by the blood shed by the sun. There are some changes in the stories of some ethnic groups. The content is that there was only the moon in the past, and the moon did not appear every day. In addition, there was a dark shadow on the moon. Every night, the earth became dark, vegetation could not grow, and people felt extremely inconvenienced. Two young warriors were sent to shoot at the moon. Decades later, one of them hit the moon with an arrow, removing the dark shadow, and the earth had normal light.
The story of the Peinan people tells of a time when the earth was flooded, and even the sun and moon in the sky sank into the water.

In the creation myth of the Puinan people, the moon and the sun bring children into the world. The first one is a human being, followed by monkeys, horses, deer, fish and birds. Later, the ancestors of the Puinan people passed down the following principles for planting sweet potatoes. Changes in the moon: You cannot farm when the moon is full, and you can only farm when the moon is gradually missing. If the moon is shaped like a sickle, do not farm. Another Amis legend mentions that the two brothers and sister danced happily because they had completed their mother's instructions to comfort their father's spirit in heaven; the three of them danced and gradually sank into the ground. They said in unison: "We have done everything we should do. The moon tonight is our elder brother, the sun in the eastern sky tomorrow morning is our younger brother, and the stars shining in the dark sky are our younger sisters. We will always benefit mankind. Goodbye, mother." ” These plots clearly show that these groups believe that the sun, moon and stars were transformed by humans. The connection between the moon and the agricultural work of the aboriginal people during the year can also be found in some stories, such as the aforementioned story of the Peinan people; because the millet (millet) that the aboriginal people relied on as their staple food in the past was mostly harvested in the autumn, autumn nights The moonlight is particularly bright, and various harvest rituals or songs and dances of various ethnic groups are mostly performed under the bright moonlight. The sharing of new grains and new wine allows members of the tribe to reunite their minds, gain emotional relief, and reconcile humans and gods. They look forward to having plenty of food and clothing in the coming year. Therefore, the fullness of the autumn moon also symbolizes the ardent hope in the hearts of the tribesmen.

The moon mythology of the Bunun people
In ancient times, there were The two suns take turns shining on the earth in the sky, causing the earth to have no distinction between day and night. The hot weather makes human life very inconvenient. There was a couple working diligently in the fields. They placed their sleeping baby firmly next to a pile of stones under the shade of a tree and covered it with palm leaves.
Unexpectedly, he was still burned to death by the cruel sun and turned into a lizard and hid in the cracks of the rocks. The father knew this and was very angry. He vowed to shoot down the sun to avenge his child.
Before embarking on the journey, my father planted an orange tree in front of his house, and set off to where the sun rose, preparing to seal it before it rose into the sky. The father, who was an accurate shooter, actually hit the sun. In one eye, the sun's light suddenly disappeared and turned into the moon. The moon closed its eyes and reached out to grab people randomly. Because the palm was too big, the father broke free from the fingers and ran away. Because one sun was shot and turned into the moon, the other sun was too afraid to rise into the sky to shine on the earth. As a result, the earth fell into darkness. People could not go out to work, and they could not find food. Life was very difficult. If the tribesmen have no choice but to go out, they must throw stones first. The sound of the stones falling to the ground will determine whether the road ahead or an abyss is ahead. A mountain Qiang who went out to look for food was hit on the head by a stone thrown by people, and blood flowed profusely. Shan Qiang couldn't bear the pain and let out an angry roar. At this time, something strange happened. The sun that was hiding was frightened by Shan Qiang's roar, and the sky shone on the earth again. People returned to their normal daily lives, but Shan Qiang's There has been a beautiful scar on my forehead ever since.
Later, the moon taught Sun Sa’s father the rituals and taboos of various festivals, such as: Don’t be greedy for sweets during hunting inspections and sowing festivals, otherwise there will be years of famine or you will miss the prey; Yue Children's sacrifices must be held at the right time, otherwise children will get sick and die. After his father returned to the tribe, he began to teach the tribesmen how to perform sacrifices. When everyone learned all the rituals, the orange tree had grown into a big tree. Therefore, several Bunun communities use orange leaves as sacrificial vessels when conducting rituals.
The Gypsy Legend—The Moon’s Child
Once upon a time there was a Gypsy woman who had been married to her husband for many years without giving birth to a child. One night she prayed to the moon to give her a child. Soon after, she got pregnant as she wished. However, when the child was born, they found that the child did not have the dark skin and dark brown eyes of the Gypsies, but had gray eyes and silver-white skin. The Gypsy men were very angry and thought it was his wife's betrayal. He wants to kill this child.
The gypsy woman couldn't bear it, so she took the child to the mountain and abandoned him. The moon took care of the child from then on. Whenever the moon is full, it is the child who behaves well, and whenever the moon wanes and becomes a new moon, it is the child who cries. The moon makes a cradle for him and coaxes him to stop crying. (Comparing children with albinism to children of the moon)
Moon Goddess
Artemis, the moon goddess in ancient Greek mythology. She is the sister of the sun god Apollo. She is very beautiful and a very powerful archer. She is in charge of hunting and is always accompanied by her beloved bows and hounds. Every day she drives a silver carriage through the night sky, representing the night together - the cold, loneliness, and the road of the dead. She is also the patron saint of unmarried girls - she herself was never married, and there is a sad story in this.
Poseidon, the king of the sea, has a son named Orion. He likes archery very much, is a good hunter, and likes to run wildly on the sea. The moon goddess liked Orion very much. They met and fell in love with each other. They often hunted in the jungle and ran wildly on the sea together. The goddess's brother Apollo hated Orion and did not like the relationship between her sister and Orion, so he decided to get rid of Oreon. One day, when Orion was flying across the sea, Apollo covered Orion with a golden light to hide him so that no one could see Orion's true face, and then encouraged him to like archery. The sister of the Moon Goddess used the golden object in the distance as a target. Of course, the Moon Goddess didn't know that this was her brother's conspiracy, and shot an arrow, hitting Orion in the head. Later, she learned that she had shot her sweetheart Orion, so she fell into despair and cried day and night. In order to cherish her love for Orion forever, she asked Zeus to raise Orion to the sky, hoping that she could see him at any time while riding a silver carriage running in the sky. Zeus accepted her request and turned Orion into a constellation in the sky - Orion. The goddess swore never to marry, and she would always accompany Orion in the night sky.
Artemis, the moon goddess, was very fond of oak trees and always carried her oak staff with her when hunting. People also worshiped her as the goddess of the oak tree. In ancient Greece, when people worshiped the moon goddess, they would light oak torches. Later, it changed to offering cookies and lighting candles. Finally, it evolved into a way to celebrate children's birthdays - putting candles on the cake at night, blowing them out and making wishes. The Moon Goddess will ensure that wishes come true. To this day, people still celebrate birthdays this way.
vChang'e Flying to the Moonv
According to legend, one year in ancient times, ten suns appeared in the sky, which were so scorching that the earth smoked and the sea water dried up. It seemed that the people could no longer live.
This incident alarmed a hero named Hou Yi. He climbed to the top of the Kunlun Mountains, used his supernatural power, drew his magic bow, and shot down nine superfluous suns in one go.
Hou Yi accomplished extraordinary feats and was respected and loved by the people. Many people with lofty ideals came here to learn from him. The treacherous and evil-minded Peng Meng also sneaked in.
Soon, Hou Yi married a beautiful and kind-hearted wife named Chang'e.
In addition to spreading his skills and hunting, Hou Yi stayed with his wife all day long. People envied this loving couple with talent and beauty.
One day, Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek enlightenment. He happened to meet the Queen Mother who was passing by, and asked the Queen Mother for a package of elixir. It is said that if you take this medicine, you can immediately ascend to heaven and become an immortal.
However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife, so he had to temporarily give the elixir to Chang'e for collection. Chang'e hid the medicine in the treasure box on the dressing table, but Pengmeng saw it.
Three days later, Hou Yi led his disciples out for hunting. Peng Meng, who had evil intentions, pretended to be sick and stayed.
Soon after Hou Yi led everyone away, Peng Meng broke into the backyard of the inner house with a sword and forced Chang'e to hand over the elixir.
Chang'e knew that she was no match for Peng Meng. In the critical moment, she made a prompt decision, turned around, opened the treasure box, took out the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp.
Chang'e swallowed the medicine, and her body immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window, and flew to the sky. Because Chang'e cared about her husband, she flew to the moon closest to the world and became an immortal.
In the evening, Hou Yi returned home, and the maids cried about what happened during the day. Hou Yi was frightened and angry. He drew his sword and went to kill the villain, but Peng Meng had already escaped. Hou Yi was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet and screamed. The grief-stricken Hou Yi looked up at the night sky and called his beloved wife's name. At this time, he was surprised to find that today's moon was particularly bright and bright, and there was a swaying figure that looked like Chang'e.
Hou Yi hurriedly sent people to Chang'e's favorite back garden, set up an incense table, placed her favorite sweetmeats and fresh fruits, and offered sacrifices to Chang'e who was attached to him in the moon palace.
After the people heard the news that Chang'e flew to the moon and became an immortal, they set up incense tables under the moon and prayed to the kind-hearted Chang'e for good luck and peace. From then on, the custom of worshiping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival spread among the people.
The story of Chang'e flying to the moon sings and praises Chang'e with a distinctive attitude and brilliant colors. Compared with the records about Chang'e in ancient documents, it can be seen that people have done a lot of processing to the story of Chang'e flying to the moon. Modification makes the image of E'e as beautiful as the moon and makes it in line with people's pursuit of beauty. Contrary to the widely circulated modern "Chang'e flying to the moon", "Lingxian" compiled by "Quan Shang Gu Wen" records the story of "Chang'e turning into a toad": "Chang'e, Yi's wife, stole the Queen Mother's immortal medicine and took it, and flew to the moon. The moon is about to pass, and Huang Zhanzhi says: "Ji, Pianpian returns to her sister, and will go west alone. Don't be frightened when the sky is dark, and she will be prosperous later." "Toad." After Chang'e turned into a toad, she was punished to pound the elixir all day long in the moon palace and lived a lonely and miserable life. Li Shangyin once lamented Chang'e in a poem: "Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are in her heart every night."
