Answer:

Chinese goddess of the moon, is the subject of several legends in Chinese mythology. The moon goddess myth revolves around Hou Yi the archer, the elixir of life, a benevolent emperor, and the moon. This popular and interesting story about Chang-O takes you to the distant past where the 10 sons of the Jade Emperor were transformed into 10 suns. The 10 suns rose to heaven and scorched the earth, threatening mankind’s survival. The archer Yi shot down nine of these suns and left only one. Yi was then rewarded with the elixir of immortality. One day, when Yi was out hunting, his apprentice Feng Meng broke into his house and tried to get the elixir from Yi’s wife, Chang’e. But Chang’e refused to give the elixir to Feng Meng and drank it all herself. As she consumed it, she became weightless and flew upwards towards the heavens and stayed on the moon as a refugee.
