The Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history and is steeped in various legends and customs. One of the most famous stories is about the ancient Chinese goddess, Chang'e, who became a moon spirit after eating an elixir of immortality. According to the story, when her husband, Hou Yi, was away hunting, she accidentally swallowed half of the elixir. To escape the consequences, Chang'e climbed to the moon, and since then, people celebrate this festival by watching the full moon in the autumn sky.
