中国文化博览:中华民俗之中秋团圆:吃月饼传统的来历
中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样，是必不可少的。圆圆的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅，馅的中央还会加上一个金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题。每年农历8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋，据说这一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圆的。</p><p><span word="There">There</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="legends">legends</span> <span word="which">which</span> <span word="claim">claim</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="explain">explain</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="tradition">tradition</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="eating">eating</span> <span word="mooncakes">mooncakes</span>. <span word="One">One</span> <span word="Tang">Tang</span> <span word="Dynasty">Dynasty</span> <span word="myth">myth</span> <span word="holds">holds</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Earth">Earth</span> <span word="once">once</span> <span word="had">had</span> 10 <span word="suns">suns</span> <span word="circling">circling</span> <span word="it">it</span>. <span word="One">One</span> <span word="day">day</span> <span word="all">all</span> 10 <span word="suns">suns</span> <span word="appeared">appeared</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="once">once</span>, <span word="scorching">scorching</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="planet">planet</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="heat">heat</span>. <span word="It">It</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="thanks">thanks</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="skillful">skillful</span> <span word="archer">archer</span> <span word="named">named</span> <span word="Hou">Hou</span> <span word="Yi">Yi</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Earth">Earth</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="saved">saved</span>. <span word="He">He</span> <span word="shot">shot</span> <span word="down">down</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="suns">suns</span>. <span word="As">As</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="reward">reward</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Heavenly">Heavenly</span> <span word="Queen">Queen</span> <span word="Mother">Mother</span> <span word="gave">gave</span> <span word="Hou">Hou</span> <span word="Yi">Yi</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Elixir">Elixir</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Immortality">Immortality</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="warned">warned</span> <span word="him">him</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="must">must</span> <span word="use">use</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="wisely">wisely</span>. <span word="Hou">Hou</span> <span word="Yi">Yi</span> <span word="ignored">ignored</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="advice">advice</span> <span word="and">and</span>, <span word="corrupted">corrupted</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="fame">fame</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="fortune">fortune</span>, <span word="became">became</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="tyrannical">tyrannical</span> <span word="leader">leader</span>. <span word="Chang">Chang</span>-<span word="Er">Er</span>, <span word="his">his</span> <span word="beautiful">beautiful</span> <span word="wife">wife</span>, <span word="could">could</span> <span word="no">no</span> <span word="longer">longer</span> <span word="stand">stand</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="watch">watch</span> <span word="him">him</span> <span word="abuse">abuse</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="power">power</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="stole">stole</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="Elixir">Elixir</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="fled">fled</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="moon">moon</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="escape">escape</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="angry">angry</span> <span word="wrath">wrath</span>. <span word="And">And</span> <span word="thus">thus</span> <span word="began">began</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="legend">legend</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="beautiful">beautiful</span> <span word="woman">woman</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="moon">moon</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Moon">Moon</span> <span word="Fairy">Fairy</span>.关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事，说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中，巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳，地球才被保住。为了奖励后羿，王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药，但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告，他被名利冲昏了头脑，变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观，于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药，飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥，这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。</p>
