Simple drawing pictures of Chang'e and Houyi

Hou Yi shot down nine suns and was respected and loved by the people. Many people with lofty ideals came to learn from him. The treacherous and evil-minded Peng Meng also sneaked in. Hou Yi asked the Queen Mother of the West for a packet of elixir and gave it to Chang'e for safekeeping. Hou Yis villain Peng Meng (it is said that Hou Yi later died under this mans arrow) took advantage of Hou Yis outing to force Chang'e to hand over the elixir. When Chang'e was in danger, she swallowed the elixir and soon she floated off the ground and landed on the moon. Became an immortal. Hou Yi returned home and was unable to find a wife. He beat his chest and stamped his feet, looked up at the moon and called Chang'es name thousands of times. His call alarmed the sky, and sure enough, Chang'es figure appeared on the bright moon. Hou Yi hurriedly set up the incense table, put on her favorite sweetmeats and fresh fruits, and offered sacrifices to Chang'e in the moon palace. After the people heard the news that Chang'e flew to the moon and became an immortal, they also set up incense tables under the moon to pay homage to Chang'e from afar. Later, the Moon Mother was moved by Yis true love and allowed Chang'e to meet Yi under the laurel tree on the day of the full moon. From then on, the custom of worshiping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival spread among the people.
