后羿为人间射落九个太阳,从西王母那里求得一颗不死药,交给妻子嫦娥保管。坏人逢蒙趁后羿外出上门逼药,嫦娥为不让仙药落入坏人手里,一口吞下不死药,身体变轻,飞上了月亮。从此每年八月十五,人们对月摆上瓜果,思念远方的亲人。
"After shooting down nine suns for the world, Houyi wins an elixir of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West and leaves it in his wife Chang'e's care. When the wicked Fengmeng comes to seize it, Chang'e swallows the elixir rather than let it fall into evil hands, and her body drifts up to the moon. Ever since, on the fifteenth night of the eighth month, people set out fruit under the moon and think of loved ones far away."
