《The Ten Suns: A Tale of Chinese Mythology》
The Origin of the Ten Suns
In ancient Chinese mythology, there was a time when the world was plagued by ten suns that appeared in the sky simultaneously. This caused extreme heat and destruction on earth. To save humanity from this catastrophe, the great archer Hou Yi took action.
According to legend, Hou Yi shot down nine of the ten suns with his magical arrows, saving humanity from certain doom. However, he spared one sun to ensure that day and night would continue to alternate. This story highlights Hou Yi's bravery and selflessness in protecting his people.
The Great Archery Contest
Hou Yi is also known for winning a great archery contest against all other gods and immortals on Mount Tai. His victory earned him a place among heaven's elite and granted him immortality.
As part of his reward, he married Chang'e, who became known as China's first goddess of love and beauty after she consumed an elixir meant for her husband but accidentally fell into eternal slumber while gazing at their reflected image in a pool.
Chang'e Descends to Earth
Chang'e is said to reside on the moon due to her accidental consumption of an elixir intended for her husband during their wedding ceremony celebrations on Mount Tai.
Legend has it that she descends once annually at mid-autumn festival when pumelo fruits are offered as tribute so she can return home briefly before returning back up into celestial orbit around lunar cycles every month until next year's festival begins again.
The Weaving Maiden & Her Cowherd Husband
Another famous tale tells us about two lovers – Zhinü (the weaving maiden) living amongst clouds with her mother-in-law Nüwa (the creator goddess), who made humans out of yellow clay - marrying Niulang (a cowherd).
Their union was forbidden by Nüwa but they were able to live together peacefully until death separated them; whereupon Heavenly Emperor reunited them through divine intervention after hearing stories about their true love story shared among mortals below Heaven itself upon learning this tragic tale occurred between both families members themselves!
5.Li Jing: General Who Guarded Heaven Gate
Li Jing is another important figure within Chinese mythological tales as well being half-human/half-dragon warrior general who protected heavenly gates guarding entry points leading towards or away from paradise realms like Shangri-La which had been lost since ancient times because dragons ate everything they touched so no human could reach those places ever again till then!
