I have found that many of the myths I knew as a child have now become a reality, such as "clairvoyance", and now we can see not only information about Beijing and foreign countries, but also outer space. Why is this more than clairvoyance? For example, "tailwind ear", we can now hear sounds thousands of miles away than just downwind. Another example is that Dayu governs the water and jingwei reclaims the sea, which we have already achieved. There is also Chang'e Running Moon, and we have achieved it perfectly.
But after the day of the shooting, is it true or false? That's how the Mid-Autumn Festival is closely related to Chang'e Moon!
(Ten suns are ten golden crows.) ）
The story of the Houyi Shooting Day is widely spread in folklore. I remember when I was a child, when I was admiring the moon on August 15, my grandmother said that the Chang'e fairy on the moon was the daughter-in-law of the hero Houyi. Chang'e Fairy flew to the moon because she had eaten the elixir alone. Where did the elixir come from? Hou Yi let Chang'e collect. Where did Houyi's elixir come from? It was the Queen Mother who rewarded HouYi. Why did the Queen Mother reward Houyi? Because he shot down nine suns in one go, he made a great achievement.
What's going on with the Post-Shooting Day? According to legend, the 10 children born to Di Jun and Xi He were all suns, and they lived in the east sea, and there was a big tree in the sea called Fuso. The 10 suns slept under the branches of Fuso, and every day one person took turns to be on duty in the sky, shining on the earth. These are recorded in China's first strange book without author and age, the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

However, when Tang Yao became emperor (chief) more than 4300 years ago, the 10 brothers could not bear the playful thoughts and wanted to go out and play together. As a result, 10 suns came out together, and the world immediately burned like a fire, roasting trees, flowers, plants and crops, drying up the rivers and lakes, and people could not survive. So Tang Yao ordered the archery hero Hou Yi to shoot down those extra suns.
Hou Yi did not fail in his mission, climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, bent his bow and arrow, and whizzed out 9 arrows, and the arrows hit and shot down nine suns. In this way, the remaining sun had to rise and set in the morning, so that the temperature of the world returned to normal. So the story was passed down, and it was passed down for thousands of years.
Why is this story so alive? Just because people can't do without the sun. But more suns are certainly not enough!

After the shooting day, is it true or false? What is not surprising is that there is a general cliff at the western end of The Houxiao Mountain at the southern foot of Jinping Mountain in Taohua Village, Jinping Town, Haizhou District, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, China, and the ancient rock paintings on it record historical information related to the Houyi Shooting Day.
This is a hillside of mixed granite with a length of 22.1 meters from north to south and 15 meters wide from east to west, and three groups of rock paintings with wide and shallow lines, rough and straight, and a primitive style are distributed on the top.
The General Cliff petroglyph is the oldest rock painting ever found in China, dating back about 7,000 years!

There is a Western Chinese scientist named Zhao Feng. He believes that the Jiangsu Jiangsu General Cliff Rock Painting Group A and the Houyi Shooting Sun are actually the same event, that is, a comet impact on the Earth, similar to a miniature version of the 1994 Levy-9 comet impact jupiter event. Because the comet is loosely textured, when the comet is captured by the planet, it will disintegrate into a string of celestial bodies under the action of tidal forces, the so-called "nine days", it is the comet that disintegrates into 9 large pieces. After the 9 celestial bodies enter the earth's atmosphere, they burn due to friction and heat, becoming a luminous heating body like the "sun", which is the story of "nine days in the lower branch, one day on the upper branch" in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Let's see, is professor Zhao Feng's point?
According to Professor Zhao Feng's explanation of the Jiangsu General Cliff rock paintings: "Houyi Shooting Sun", in fact, it was encountered at that time when a comet hit the earth, and the comet split into nine large burning fireballs, which was mistaken for "nine suns". When it was 7,000 years ago, it was somewhat consistent with the yao shunyu era in history. Is this a coincidence?

However, the astronomical community believes that the post-eclipse sun is related to the celestial motion of the nine planets of the Milky Way.
For example, at 8:10 a.m. on February 5, 1962, a "total solar eclipse" suddenly occurred in Indonesia— the radiant sun was suddenly swallowed by the moon, which in China is called "tengu eating the moon".
Why did the moon become a black and round silhouette in the backlight? It turned out that the three planets of the sun, the moon, and the earth were running in a straight line. From the earth, the sun is completely blocked by the moon, and the phenomenon of a total solar eclipse is seen.
According to many world media reports at that time, at this time, the five planets of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth appeared at the same time, and they just surrounded the side of the sun, shining.
Astronomers believe that the most rare thing about a total solar eclipse is "the combination of the sun and the moon, the five stars and pearls, and the seven yao and the same palace".
"Five stars", that is, "water, wood, gold, fire and earth" five planets.
"Seven Yao", also known as the Seven Politics, Seven Latitudes, Seven Yao, etc., is the ancient Chinese the Ying Confusion Star (Mars), Chen Star (Mercury), the Year Star (Jupiter), the Taibai Star (Venus), the Town Star (Saturn) called the five stars, the five stars are also known as the Five Yao, plus the Sun Star (Day), the Taiyin Star (Moon), collectively known as the Seven Yao.
"Seven Yao Tonggong" refers to the seven major times when the sun, moon, water, fire, wood, gold and earth, the planets orbit the sun near the ecliptic plane, from the earth, they may be arranged in formation near the ecliptic, or they may be clustered. This is the "Seven Yao Tonggong".
Scientists believe that the planets have their own orbits, and the phenomenon of "seven yao and the same palace" is a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.
The nine planets of the solar system (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) converge in a line, and this astronomical phenomenon that has only been encountered once in hundreds of years is the "nine stars of the pearl".
"Nine stars and pearls" refers to the phenomenon that the nine planets converge on the side of the sun with the sun as the center, and their opening angle is less than 100 degrees. Astronomical records: In 1982, there were "nine stars and pearls".
What about the 6,000 years from 4001 BC to 2000 AD?
Scientists tell us that the "six-star beads" with an θ angle below 5 degrees occur 49 times, the "seven-star beads" occur 3 times, and the situation above the "eight-star beads" does not or will not occur. If the angle of the sta is expanded to 10 degrees, there are 709 times of "six stars in a row", 52 times in "seven stars in a row", and 3 times in "eight stars in a row". To determine that the "Nine Stars and Pearls" occurred, the θ angle had to be expanded to 15 degrees, and even then, the "Nine Stars and Pearls" only happened once in 6,000 years.
That is to say, the size of the θ angle has a direct causal relationship with the six stars, seven stars, eight stars, and even nine stars.
Historians have calculated that the specific date of the Yao Shunyu period is about 4000-3000 BC, that is, about 6000-5000 years from today.
According to the Records of History, After Shun's death, Yu kept filial piety for three years, and Yu reigned for ten years. That is to say, the era of Dayu is 13 years, and the era of Dayu is about 2100 BC, that is, about 4100 years ago. Yao died and Shun kept filial piety for three years. Shun reigned for thirty-nine years, and it is concluded that Shun was active around 2150 BC, that is, 4200 years ago. Yao reigned for a relatively long time, 90 years, so Yao's era is about 4300 years ago.
From the Yao era in 4300 BC to December 10, 2149, which astronomers estimated, it is about 6000 years. It can be inferred from this that during the Tang Yao period, there was indeed a natural phenomenon of "nine stars and pearls", which made Di Yao and the people of his time mistakenly believe that there were nine suns in the sky! One more didn't come out. So, if ten suns come out together, won't the world be roasted?

Chang'e, the daughter of Emperor Zhao, one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in ancient times, was the wife of Hou Yi, with extraordinary beauty, and was originally named "Jiao'e", because she wanted to avoid the taboo of "Heng" in the name of Liu Heng, the Han Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, so she changed her name to Chang'e, also known as Chang'e.
According to legend, Chang'e and Houyi created a precedent for a monogamous husband and wife. In order to commemorate this loving couple, later generations interpreted the story of "Chang'e Running to the Moon". Think about it, if Chang'e didn't run to the moon, how could HouYi miss her so much? Houyi did not see Chang'e for a long time, so he went to worship the moon and worship the moon, and only then did he move Chang'e to meet with Houyi.
In myths and legends, Chang'e became an immortal in the moon because she stole the immortal medicine that HouYi asked for from the Queen Mother of the West, and lived in the Guanghan Palace above the moon. Think about it, if Chang'e doesn't eat immortal medicine, can she run to the moon? The cold loneliness of becoming a moon palace fairy, even if it is a god, I am afraid that I can't stand it. However, if you can't bear it, you have to endure it, so there is The Queen of The Fifteenth of August Chang'e. No wonder the moon is big and round!
Later, in their doctrinal mythological stories, Taoism merged Chang'e with the lunar god Taiyin Xingjun into one person. Taoism takes the sun as the yang and the moon as the essence of the yin, and honors it as "The Moon Palace Huanghua Suyao Yuanjing After the Taiyin Yuanjun", or "The Moon Palace Taiyin Emperor Xiao Daoming King", as a goddess statue. Since then, the spread of Chang'e immortals has become wider.
In this way, Chang'e has a deep relationship with our Mid-Autumn Festival, moon worship, full moon, and moon viewing. Just imagine, if there are no 10 suns in the sky, there will be no post-sun shooting sun; without Houyi shooting sun, there will be no immortal medicine; without immortal medicine, Chang'e will not run to the moon; without Chang'e running to the moon, Houyi will not make mooncakes to sacrifice the moon, worship the moon, worship the full moon, and admire the moon because of his love for her.
Therefore, even the Houyi Shooting Day is also related to our Mid-Autumn Festival.
