English:
The Mid-Autumn Festival has a rich legend that has been passed down through generations. One of the most famous tales is about the moon god, Chang'e. According to the story, there once lived a famous archer named Hou Yi. He was very skilled in archery and was chosen to be the god of archery in the heavens. Hou Yi was given a magical elixir by the Queen Mother of the West, which would allow him to live forever.
However, Hou Yi knew that his wife, Chang'e, would miss him greatly if he drank the elixir and became immortal. So, he decided to hide the elixir and not to use it. But one day, an evil monster found out about the elixir and attacked Hou Yi. In a desperate attempt to save his wife, Hou Yi shot and killed the monster with an arrow. However, the monster's blood caused the elixir to be released. In a hurry, Hou Yi threw the elixir into the sky, where it became the moon.
Since then, people have believed that the moon is the elixir, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is a time to admire the full moon and appreciate the beauty of the night sky. The festival also symbolizes family reunion and gratitude for the harvest.
Chinese Translation:
中秋节的传说代代相传，其中最著名的传说之一便是关于月神嫦娥的故事。据说，古时候有一位著名的射手名叫后羿。他箭术高超，被选为天庭的射箭之神。后羿得到了西王母赐予的一颗仙丹，服下后便可以长生不老。
然而，后羿知道，如果自己服下仙丹成为神仙，妻子嫦娥就会非常想念他。于是，他决定将仙丹藏起来，不使用它。但有一天，一只邪恶的妖怪发现了仙丹，攻击了后羿。在后羿生命垂危之际，为了拯救妻子，他拉弓射箭，将妖怪射死。然而，妖怪的血液使得仙丹被释放出来。匆忙中，后羿将仙丹投向天空，仙丹便化作了月亮。
从那时起，人们相信月亮就是仙丹，中秋节便成为了观赏满月、赞美夜空美景的时刻。这个节日也象征着家庭团聚和对丰收的感激。
