The Stories of the Chinese Moon Festival

The Chinese Moon Festival is on the 15th of the 8th lunar month. According to traditional Chinese culture, the moon is a carrier of human emotions. The Moon Festival is full of legendary stories. One of the legends says that Lady Chang Er flew to the moon, where she has lived ever since and you might see her dancing on the moon during the Moon Festival. The other one is about Jade Rabbit. An empty-handed rabbit offered his own flesh, jumping into a blazing fire to cook himself, so the sages were so touched by the rabbit's sacrifice that they let him live in the Moon Palace where he became the "Jade Rabbit".

  1. Hi Tatyana

    Is this all your own work or copied straight from the internet? You really can't do this because you are plaigiarising someone else's work. Can you read the 4 stories and then write something in your own words.

    Cheers
