The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated widely across East Asia, is rich with legends that add magic and meaning to the event. From tales of bravery to love stories set under the full moon, these legends continue to captivate people every year. Let’s dive into some of the most beloved legends associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival. And if you’re planning a family celebration, the Life Planner app can help you budget and save for the occasion with its array of financial tools.
1. The Tale of Chang'e, the Moon Goddess
The story of Chang'e is perhaps the most famous. As legend goes, Chang'e drank the elixir of immortality to keep it from a thief, causing her to ascend to the moon where she resides today. Each year, families gaze at the full moon in her honor, symbolizing unity and remembrance. For a moon-viewing party, Life Planner’s expense tracker can help manage costs for food, decorations, and other essentials, keeping your celebration stress-free and affordable.
2. The Selfless Jade Rabbit
The Jade Rabbit’s tale is another beloved story. According to legend, a rabbit on the moon tirelessly grinds herbs to make an elixir of life for the gods. The rabbit is a symbol of kindness and selflessness, qualities celebrated during the festival. If you’re inspired by the Jade Rabbit, Life Planner’s financial reports can help track charitable spending and maintain a budget for giving back during the holiday season.
3. Hou Yi and the Ten Suns
