Origin of the bright moon: The biography of Chenggong Empress Xia Yungu
Xia Yungu is not only beautiful, but also ingenious, planting rice, collecting firewood, weaving bamboo, weaving, and proficient in all kinds of farm work. When Xia Yungu was 16 years old, the emperor sent people to the whole country to select beautiful women to enter the palace. There was a father-in-law surnamed Zhang who was sent to Yichun to be in charge of the beauty pageant. On the way to the beauty pageant, Gonggong Zhang decided not to let anyone lead the way, even untied the reins of the horse, and counted wherever he went. The horse walked straight in the direction of Mingyue Mountain, and when he passed a stone arch bridge in Xia's house, the horse suddenly knelt on the bridge, and Zhang Gong almost fell off the horse, and whipped it a few times, but the horse still didn't stand up. Gonggong Zhang was puzzled, and said to himself: "Could it be that there is a royal lady here? If there is, you dead horse quickly stand up for me and neigh three times." Strange to say, as soon as the words fell, the horse stood up with a "sigh" and raised his head to the sky and neighed three times. At this time, Father-in-law Zhang found that there was a girl who was herding ducks by the river, wearing clothes with patches and patches, and wearing a tattered and tattered hat, and at this moment, a gust of wind blew and blew off the girl's hat. This is Aunt Xia Yun.
Father-in-law Zhang asked: What is the girl's name? Xia Yungu replied with a smile: "My name sometimes falls on the mountainside, sometimes hangs on the treetops, sometimes looks like a round mirror, sometimes like a sickle." Gonggong Zhang saw that this woman was not only beautiful and pretty, but also witty, so he was elected to the palace.
When she first entered the palace, Yun Gu was favored by the Queen Mother and selected as a personal maid. A year before the crown prince Zhao Yan ascended the throne, the crown princess died, and the queen mother was in charge and married the smart and beautiful maid next to her to the prince.
The following year, Zhao Yan ascended the throne and became emperor, and Yungu immediately became the mother of the main palace and was named Empress Chenggong. The emperor favored her very much, and set up a memorial arch next to the drum tower in Yichun City for her. The decree stipulates that "civil officials must get off the sedan chair when they pass by, and military attaches must dismount when they pass by." Xia Niangniang was very sympathetic to her subjects, and felt that this etiquette was too cumbersome, so she ordered the archway to be moved to her hometown - Xia's family, and because of the archway, Xia's family was later renamed Xiajiafang. Mingyue Mountain is also named after Queen Xia's nickname, Mingyue.
In the Mingyue Mountain tourist area, walk through the Mingyue Square, climb several steps, you can see a large bronze sculpture: a young girl greets tourists with her back on her back, her head is held high, her body is plump, her expression is elegant, she opens her arms and embraces the crescent moon. This bronze sculpture is called Yungu Muyue.

Tears poured down, the bright moon ridge.
The mountain god loves mercy and cultivates sincerely;
The beauty of things is beautiful, and the Tibetan wind gathers energy.
……
Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are night and night. Legend has it that after Chang'e stole the elixir of life, she ran to the moon from Mingyue Mountain, and watched Hou Yi cry alone in the Moon Palace, her tears fell on the warm soup and turned into hot spring water, from which the selenium-rich hot spring of Mingyue Mountain came.
