Once upon a time, there was a man named Wu Gang, who was punished by the Emperor of Heaven because he made a mistake, and went to the Moon Palace to cut down a laurel tree, this laurel tree was a sacred tree, and wu Gang cut a knife, and the laurel tree would grow back and be as good as ever. Ten million years have passed, Wu Gang is still punished by the Heavenly Emperor, and he is constantly trying to cut down the tree, and the laurel tree is still leafy.

It is said that the laurel tree of the Moon Palace is 500 meters high, equivalent to 1500 meters, and the tallest tree in the world is the almond eucalyptus tree at 132 meters, which is more than 10 times higher than the almond eucalyptus tree. So how thick is this laurel tree? The normal laurel tree on the ground is about 15 meters high and the trunk diameter is 30 centimeters, and in this proportion, the laurel tree in the Moon Palace is about 30 meters in diameter, which is 12.5 meters more than the world's thickest hundred-horse chestnut tree. Wu Gang was cutting such a huge tree, and it was in the Moon Palace.
Why punish Wu Gang for going to the Moon Palace to cut down this tall laurel tree? It is said that Wu Gang's wife was as beautiful as a flower, and Wu Gang went out to study Taoism for three years, and his wife got along with Emperor Yan's grandson Boling. This plot is very strange, when Pan Jinlian cheated, it was because Wu Dalang was poor and ugly. Wu Gang's wife cheated because Wu Gang learned the Tao, and since Wu Gang had a pure heart and wanted to learn the Tao, he should not have any nostalgia for Fan Chen. Wu Gang wants to learn the Tao, but also reluctant to be a beautiful wife. The end result was that his wife cheated, and he killed his wife's lover in a fit of rage. So the grandfather Yandi, who angered his wife's lover, was the sun god, how could he bear this anger? However, Emperor Yan was unreasonable in this matter, so he thought of a way to punish Wu Gang to go to the Moon Palace to cut down trees.
Laurel
So why didn't Wu Gang run away? First, you can't run away. Under the whole world, there is no royal land. Emperor Yan was the authority at that time, managing the heavens, the earth, the middle pipe air, and mainly the boundless mana. Even if Wu Gang could change the seventy-two muscles and douyun, he couldn't run out of the palm of Emperor Yan's hand. The second is that I don't want to run. Killing people to pay for their lives, debts to pay back money, it is natural and righteous, Wu Gang committed a capital crime, and the learned people kill people again, that is, the crime is added to the crime. It is estimated that Wu Gang was ready to confess his guilt and confess to the law at that time. But the benevolent Yan Emperor actually did not kill him, but punished him to go to the Moon Palace to cut down trees. Emperor Yan spared Wu Gang from dying, wu Gang only had a thousand thanks, and honestly went to the Moon Palace to cut down trees.
When Wu Gang arrived at the Moon Palace, did he see Chang'e? Chang'e is Houyi's wife, Houyi is a figure in the Era of Emperor Yao, Emperor Yan is several generations older than Yaoyao, so when Wu just went to the Moon Palace, Chang'e had not yet gone, wu was just the first person to go to the Moon Palace.
There is also a legend that Wu Gang was originally the town guarding the South Heavenly Gate, because he ran to the Moon Palace, left his post to secretly see Chang'e, and was punished by the Jade Emperor to go to the Moon Palace to cut down trees. If this is the case, the Jade Emperor's approach is simply the beauty of adulthood, originally it is very difficult for two people to meet each other, so that there are lovers who will eventually become dependents, one is responsible for cutting trees, one is responsible for raising rabbits, and there is a sense of happiness that cowherd weaver girls you plant fields and come to me to weave cloth.
Chang'e Jade Rabbit
More importantly, Chang'e's rabbits could not be raised, and Wu Gang's laurel tree could not be cut down, which ensured that the two of them would never lose their jobs and would always have work. In his spare time, Wu Gang brewed osmanthus wine, and Chang'e let the jade rabbit mash the medicine! What a pleasant and comfortable life for the gods.
Originally, we all thought that the beautiful Chang'e would be very lonely when she went to the Moon Palace, but now it seems that we are just salty and eat turnips and worry about it.
