The date of this story is around 2170 B.C. The earth once had ten suns circling over it, each took its turn to illuminate to the earth. But one day all ten suns appeared together, scorching the earth with their heat. The earth was saved by a strong and tyrannical archer Hou Yi. He succeeded in shooting down nine of the suns. One day, Hou Yi stole the elixir of life from a goddess. However his beautiful wife Chang Er drank the elixir of life in order to save the people from her husband's tyrannical rule. After drinking it, she found herself floating and flew to the moon. Hou Yi loved his divinely beautiful wife so much, he didn't shoot down the moon.Hope it will help you understand <A HREF="http://www.hellomandarin.com/" REL="nofollow">Chinese culture </A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536370758769401885.post-16827721749265543052008-09-15T07:34:00.000-07:002008-09-15T07:34:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536370758769401885.post-1484829323656764892008-09-15T07:31:00.000-07:002008-09-15T07:31:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536370758769401885.post-29527024865444027412008-09-11T08:38:00.000-07:002008-09-11T08:38:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
