legend of chang er, the moon goddess
the story begins around 2170 b.c. after the great flood in the hsia dynasty. yu, king of many kingdoms, was credited with stopping the flood, and with teaching farmers how to cultivate their fields, thus commencing a prosperous epoch.
at the same time in heaven the jade emperor wished to help the farmers raise animals and cultivate their fields. he gave orders to his ten sons to become ten suns and travel across the sky one at a time, each taking one day. the ten young men disobeyed; all ten of them came out every day, and the heat from ten suns shining all at once made the earth intolerably hot. people and animals died of heat, rivers dried up, land became barren and forests scorched and burned.
the farmers prayed, giving sacrifices and burning incense to heaven for deliverance. the jade emperor heard their prayers and saw the destruction caused by his sons. he sent hou yi, his bravest god, down to earth to solve the problem of the ten suns and end the catastrophe. hou yi was a good, courageous god with a beautiful wife, chang er. deeply in love with each other, they were known as the divine couple. chang er didnt like the thought of going down to earth, but she was unwilling to be separated from her husband, so together they descended to earth and became mortals among the eastern clans.
