Chang'e - Goddess of the Moon
Chang'e (Chang-O) is the goddess of the Moon. She is the wife of Houyi, the god of archery. On Mid-Autumn Day, the full Moon night of the eighth lunar month, an open-air altar is set up facing the Moon for the worship of Chang'e.
Chang'e and Houyi were originally immortals living in heaven, until one day the sons of the Jade Emperor transformed into ten suns, causing the earth to scorch. After killing nine of the sons they were sent as punishment to live as mere mortals on earth.
To restore their immortality, they need to take half of the pill of immortality, which was in the possesion of the Queen Mother of the West. However, Chang'e accidently swallowed the whole pill and floated into the air until she landed on the Moon.
