《吴刚伐桂》

相传有个叫吴刚的人，一心想学成神仙，却因心急犯了过错，被天帝罚到月宫砍伐桂树。桂树有五百丈高，斧口刚砍开就自己长好，他永远也砍不倒它。每到中秋，人们抬头望月，还能看见树影下那个挥斧的身影。

"Legend tells of Wugang, who set his heart on becoming an immortal but was punished by the Emperor of Heaven for his haste: he must fell the five-hundred-zhang cassia tree on the moon, whose wounds heal the moment his axe leaves them. Every Mid-Autumn, people still see his figure swinging the axe beneath the tree's shadow."
