About Chang'e's ancient poems, specific examples are as follows:
1. "Pursing Wine to Ask the Moon" by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty
When will the moon come in the blue sky, I will stop drinking for a while Ask. People cannot reach the bright moon, but the moon travels with people. The bright sky is as bright as a flying mirror approaching Danque, and the green smoke extinguishes the clear brilliance. But seeing the night coming from the sea, I would rather know that it has disappeared into the clouds. The white rabbit makes medicine, autumn returns to spring, who is Chang'e living alone next to? People today cannot see the moon of ancient times, but today's moon once illuminated the ancient people. People in ancient times and today are like water flowing, and it is the same when they look at the bright moon. I only wish that the moonlight would always shine in the golden cup while singing and drinking.
2. "Moon" by Yuan Jiao of the Tang Dynasty
Chang'e stole the medicine and left the world, hid it in the Toad Palace and refused to return it. Hou Yi searched everywhere but could not find him, but he didn't expect that the sky would tolerate adultery. This poem is associated with the mythical story of Chang'e stealing the elixir of immortality and running into the Toad Palace (i.e. the Moon Palace), causing "(her husband) Hou Yi to search everywhere but nowhere." Who would have thought that she would hide in the moon in the sky? "Who knew that the sky would tolerate adultery?" There was actually a thief hiding in the heaven where the gods lived. The writing is very vivid and interesting.
3. "Chang'e" by Bian Gong of the Ming Dynasty
The moon palace is surrounded by cold osmanthus flowers, and the flowers bloom year by year and only climb up to themselves. *** talks about heaven in the human world, but does not know that heaven remembers the human world. From the perspective of concept, this poem expresses the loneliness, loneliness and desolation of Chang'e in the moon palace for a long time.
The poet uses "autumn cold" and "Gui Tuantuan" at the beginning to point out that it is autumn. Autumn is the season that is most likely to arouse emotions, with both Chinese Valentine's Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizing reunion. The osmanthus tree mentioned in the poem is what people associate with it. For a long time, people have had special feelings for the osmanthus tree and considered it to be the main scenery in the moon palace.

Chang'e, a character in ancient Chinese mythology, also known as Hengwo, Heng'e, Chang'e, Chang'e and Su'e, Yi's wives, flew to the moon palace because they secretly ate the elixir of death.
2. History of the story of Chang'e
The story of Chang'e first appeared in the Shang Dynasty hexagram book "Gui Zang". The complete story of Chang'e flying to the moon was first recorded in "Huainanzi·Lanmingxun" of the Western Han Dynasty. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the relationship between Chang'e and Yi was established, and Chang'e turned into a toad that made medicine after entering the moon palace. After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the image of Chang'e returned to the female body.
In Han Dynasty portraits, Chang'e has the head of a human and the body of a snake. Her hair is in a high bun, she wears a long jacket with wide sleeves, and the long tail behind her is decorated with short, barbed feathers. After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Chang'e was portrayed as a peerless beauty. Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi once used Chang'e to praise the girl next door's rare appearance.
