Devastated, he set about offering sacrifices to the moon to remember his wife, and this is said to be the reason people make mooncakes and offerings on the 15th day of the eighth month. When Yi came back later in the day, he found that Chang E had flown to the moon, all alone. Chang E refused and instead swallowed it herself. On August 15 of the Chinese lunar calendar, whilst Yi was away from home, his apprentice Peng Meng tried to force Chang E to give him the elixir. The story goes that Chang E‘s husband, the great archer Hou Yi, had been gifted an elixir of life as a reward for shooting down nine of the ten suns that had been causing such extreme heat and danger to the population. One of the best-known myths about the Mid-Autumn Festival is of Chang E, the Chinese goddess of the moon. Today, it is an occasion for families to get together, and as it is believed that the moon is at its brightest and roundest on Mid-Autumn Day, these are perfect conditions for ‘moon worship’ and harmonious reunion. Being an agrarian society in the past, the festival was originally a time for the people of China to enjoy harvests of rice and wheat, along with food offerings made in honour of the moon. It has officially been a national holiday in China since 2008 and is second-most important after the Chinese New Year.
