Chang Er Flying to the Moon - an Ancient Chinese Legend

 Chang'e Flying to the Moon a Legend of China 
This Legend started in China as a Mid-Autumn Festival that was held on the 15th day of the eight lunar This date is when the moon is at its fullest and roundest. In China the traditional food at this festival is the moon cake, which I found is varied in many parts of China-

month.
The people of China most often associate the ancient legend with the silver moon at the Mid-Autumn Festival to their Ancient legend of the Chang Er flying to the moon Chinese fable-
The Legend of the Change Er Flying to the moon goes something like this-
I've come to the conclusion that there are two different versions of this beautiful Chinese fable-
I thought I would give you both since I  loved both stories. Me personal I enjoyed the longer version but that's me. I have always loved a good long story, legend, fable...
Long version of the Change'e - Change Er Flying to the moon Chinese Fable-
In the ancient times of an remote antiquity, there were ten suns that would appear rapidly into the

skies at the same time in one year. When this happened upon the earth, all the great oceans began to dry-out, the forest and plants(the peoples 'farmlands') wittered away, and all the animals and people of the earth were dying of heat, thirst and hunger.
Then there was Houyi, a legendary hero who was also a master of archery - saw what was happening to the people of China. Being the legend hero, Houyi shot down nine suns and the earth and the people survived. His merit was honored by the people, Yet lots of men sought instruction in Archery from him.
But when there is good there is always evil. One of the students called Fengmeng who came to Houyi to learn the craft of Archery was pure Evil. Being of pure hart Houyi took him in.
Before long, Houyi married a fairy-Chang'e /Chang Er . Houyi loved his wife and always stayed with her except the times of when he would teach hunting or hunt.
One day Houyi was given a gift of gratitude from the Lady Queen Mother, while he was calling on his
friends on the Kulun Mountain.  It was a special elixir in a small glass bottle. In Chinese legend- it is said that if a person were to to take just one slip of the elixir he/she would be immortal immediately. But Houyi could never take the elixir because if he did, his beloved Chang'e fairy would be all alone on the earth. So he decided to give the glass bottle of elixir to his wife to keep temporarily until he figure out what to do.

But someone else was listening . The secret was out- by the evil Fengmeng.
Three days later, Houyi planned to go out hunting with all his students. One student pretended to be sick. This of course was Fengmeng. As soon as Houyi and the other students left for the hunting trip, Fengmeng took his sword and made his attempt to force Houyi wife to give him the elixir. Without an urgent aid, Chang'e had to make a prompt decision.
She decided to take the elixir herself so that the evil Fengmeng would not get his hands on it and be able to become immortal. Quickly she opened the bottle and swallowed all the elixir and she was immediately flown out of the house into the skies. But worrying about her husband. Chang'e befell and became an immortal being in the moon.
At dusk, when Houyi came home. The handmaidens told him what had happened when he was gone. When he heard, he wanted to kill Fengmeng. But Fengmeng had ran far away never to be seen again.
Grieving his beloved wife, calling her name, he looked up at the moon at night. To his surprise he saw a figure just the same as Chang'e his wife in the full moon.

Houyi hurried to set something what Chang'e like on the table in the garden to express that he missed her.   The date was just Aug 15th on the Chinese lunar Calender when the clearest and brightest full moon appears. 
This is the Shorter version-
The legend of Chang Er flying to the Moon is a ancient tale/myth-.
Chang Er was the wife of the legendary hero, HouYi, who was a great archer who accomplished great things - the one he was most famous for was for shooting down nine extra suns.
The hero was rewarded with a kinda Elixir for his deed, which was then drank by his wife by stealth.
Chang Er rose up into the skies, then the heaven forever living in the moon.
The moon is also called,"Moon Palace" by the Chinese. It is said that Chang Er regretted what she had done as soon as she flew into the moon. Some Chinese Poets cited in poems of Chang Er solitude of the Moon Palace being very loneliness and cold.

Some worship the moon for the Mid-Autumn Festival - others legends talk about people making moon cakes.

The Goddess of Wu Mountain

The Goddess of Wu Mountain
The Wu Mountain is on the east gate of Chongqing  Municipality of China. There is only one

route to visited this Grand Mountain and its history - The three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

This is the beautiful tale of the Goddess Wu and this Mountain.
This is how the legend of the Goddess of the Wu Mountain got her name in the legend of the China people...
One daughter of the Emperor Yan, named Yaoji is a beautiful and passionate girl who died before getting married. To show pity for her, The Great Emperor of the Heavens conferred on her soul the Goddess of the Clouds and Rain. 
In the early morning, she would be a piece of the beautiful clouds, drifting among the hills and canyons - while at Dusk, she would become a spell of drizzle, pouring out her grief and complaints towards the highest parts of the Mountain tops and flowing water.
During the Warring States Period, King Huai of Chu once visited the high Mountains, dreaming of Yaoji confiding her affection to him.
After he woke up, he ordered to build a temple here,calling it Morning Cloud Temple. Many years  later, a poet named Song Yu also tour around this Mountain and dreamt a same dream with King Huai of chu. He composed two Rhapsodies after he awoke, naming, Rhapsodies of Gaotang Peak and The Rhapsody on the Goddess.
It is said that the successful controlling of the flood by Yu the Great also owes to the help of Yaoji.
Later, Yaoji gradually became a mountain peak. Namely the famous Goddess Peak of Wu Mountain. Her maidens accompanying her then became the peaks of various heights, thus forming the present -day twelve peaks of the Wu Mountain. Waves leaping and tide rising. The Goddess of Wu Mountain always, stands there telling her stories.
I hope you enjoyed the legend of the Goddess of Wu Mountain of china.

Seductive Fairies

Mischief-Seductive ~Fairies are more dangerous than that you're average fairy because these wee ones may be small but in their spirit form of a alluring fairies they will entrap mortals by arousing them with love or lustful thoughts- This is what makes them so dangerous compared to most fairies.

The can also become Human size figures too. Who are Keenly beautiful and emerge from territories where humans cannot thrive, deep in the thickest woods & beneath the deepest ocean waves. One Kiss is enough to grip a heart of unraveling a mortals mind.

flashing as the poet or painter rushes to embrace the theme.

Seductive Spirits of either regions of the world, being the mermaid dark spirit will sun themselves at the ocean edge,

singing irresistible songs to draw in sailors or any man for that matter that is near the oceans edge - who will lust after them into the merciless surf and brewing storms to punish those who forsake them.
The wary might may gain a clue to the darker side of the mermaids deceitful natural by the mirror she carries, which sufficient multiply or by that impenetrable tail.Though she oozes in temptation, she can only stay virginal. Faeries, Spirits and Ladies of the Sea.

The Ice Dragon - Legend/Myth

The Ice Dragon 
by George R.R. Martin.

The Ice Dragon was a  crystalline white, that shade of white that is so hard and cold that it is almost blue. It

was covered with hoarfrost, so when it moved its skin broke and crackled as the crust on the snow crackles beneath a mans boots, and flakes of rimes fell off.
Its eyes were clear and deep and icy.
Its wings were vast and bat-like, colored all a faint translucent blue, Adara could see the clouds through them, and often times the moon and the stars, when the beast wheeled in the frozen circles through the skies.
Its teeth were icicles, triple rows of them, jagged spears of unequal length, white against its deep blue maw.
When the Ice Dragon beats its wings, the cold winds blew the snow swirled and scurried and the world seemed to shrink and shiver. Sometimes when the door flew open in the winter, driven by a sudden gust of wind, the householder would run to bolt it and say, "An Ice Dragon flies nearby."

And when the Ice Dragon open it great mouth, and exhaled, it was not fire that came streaming out, the burning sulfurous stink of lesser dragons.
The Ice dragon breathed cold. 
Ice formed when it breathed, warmth fled, fires guttered and went out, shriven by the chill.Trees froze through to their slow secret soul, and their limbs turned brittle and cracked from their own weight.

Animals turned blue and whimpered and died, their eyes bulging and their skin covered with frost.
The Ice Dragon breathed death into the world; death and quiet and cold.
