相传,远古时候有一年,天上出现了十个太阳,直烤得大地冒烟,海水枯干,老百姓眼看无法再生活去。
这件事惊动了一个名叫后羿的英雄,他登上昆仑山顶,运足神力,拉开神弓,一气射下九个多余的太阳。
后羿立下盖世神功,受到百姓 的尊敬和爱戴,不少志士慕名前来投师学艺。奸诈刁钻、心术不正的蓬蒙也混了进来。
不久,后羿娶了个美丽善良的 妻子,名叫嫦娥。后羿除传艺狩猎外,终日和妻子在一起,人们都羡慕这对郎才女貌的恩爱夫妻。
一天,后羿到昆仑山访友求道,巧遇由此经过的王母娘娘,便向王母求得一包不死药。据说,服下此药,能即刻升天成仙。
然而,后羿舍不得撇下妻子,只好暂时把不死药交给嫦娥珍藏。嫦娥将药藏进梳妆台的百宝匣里,不料被蓬蒙看到了。
三天后,后羿率众徒外出狩猎,心怀鬼胎的蓬蒙假装生病,留了下来。
待后羿率众人走后不久,蓬蒙手持宝剑闯入内宅后院,威逼嫦娥交出不死药。
嫦娥知道自己不是蓬蒙的对手,危急之时她当机立断,转身打开百宝匣,拿出不死药一口吞了下去。
嫦娥吞下药,身子立时飘离地面、冲出窗口,向天上飞去。由于嫦娥牵挂着丈夫,便飞落到离人间最近的月亮上成了仙。
傍晚,后羿回到家,侍女们哭诉了白天发生的事。后羿既惊又怒,抽剑去杀恶徒,蓬蒙早逃走了。气得后羿捶胸顿足哇哇大叫。悲痛欲绝的后羿,仰望着夜空呼唤爱妻的名字。这时他惊奇地发现,今天的月亮格外皎洁明亮,而且有个晃动的身影酷似嫦娥。
后羿急忙派人到嫦娥喜爱的后花园里,摆上香案,放上她平时最爱吃的蜜食鲜果,遥祭在月宫里眷恋着自己的嫦娥。
百姓们闻知嫦娥奔月成仙的消息后,纷纷在月下摆设香案,向善良的嫦娥祈求吉祥平安。从此,中秋节拜月的风俗在民间传开了。
奔月的故事以鲜明的态度和绚丽的色彩歌颂、赞美了娥娥,与古文献有关嫦娥的记载相比较,可见人们对嫦娥奔月的故事做了很多加工,修饰,使娥娥的形象与月同美,使之符合人们对美的追求。 与现代流传甚广的"嫦娥奔月"相左,《全上古文》辑《灵宪》则记载了"嫦娥化蟾"的故事:"嫦娥,羿妻也,窃王母不死药服之,奔月。将往,枚占于有黄。有黄占之:曰:'吉,翩翩归妹,独将西行,逢天晦芒,毋惊毋恐,后且大昌。'嫦娥遂托身于月,是为蟾蜍。"嫦娥变成癞蛤蟆后,在月宫中终日被罚捣不死药,过着寂寞清苦的生活,李商隐曾有诗感叹嫦娥:"嫦娥应悔偷灵药,碧海青天夜夜心。" class="gray" align="right" /> /> class="f14">Chang E rushes the month to hand down, ancient times time had a year, the space appeared ten sun, straight roasted the earth to brave the smoke, the sea water to dry out, the common people shortly were unable to live again.
