嫦娥 (Moon)
嫦娥 (Cháng'é) is a prominent figure in Chinese mythology, often associated with the Moon. She is known as the Moon Goddess and is celebrated for her beauty and grace. According to legend, she consumed an elixir of immortality and flew to the Moon, where she resides with a jade rabbit, 玉兔 (Yùtù), who is said to pound herbs for her.
The story of 嫦娥 is often linked to the 中秋节 (Mid-Autumn Festival), a traditional Chinese holiday that celebrates the harvest and the full moon. During this festival, families gather to admire the moon and enjoy mooncakes, symbolizing reunion and harmony.
