Of The Moon Guide — Tales

If you find yourself stuck behind a locked door, you likely need the crowbar. Head to the and grab the keys off the counter.

Perhaps the most famous lunar tale is the Chinese legend of Chang’e . After drinking an immortality potion to protect it from a greedy invader, Chang’e floated to the Moon, where she now lives in a palace. Alongside her is the Jade Rabbit , endlessly pounding the elixir of life in a mortar. During the Mid-Autumn Festival (Moon Festival), families eat mooncakes and light lanterns to honor her sacrifice. In Japanese folklore, the rabbit pounds mochi (rice cakes) rather than elixir, showing how a single astronomical feature (the "Man in the Moon" is actually a rabbit in these cultures) can diverge beautifully. tales of the moon guide
