Song: Spend a good full moon
The moon is a thousand miles away to send acacia
The moon represents my heart
The moon on the 15th
The moonlight in the city
Clouds chasing the moon
The moonlight on the riverside
The yellow moon
Look at the face of the moon
The moon can represent me. On the bright side
Two Springs Reflect the Moon
Story: The moon in the oral literature of the aborigines of Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-Yuan uprising in Wugang, the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon is simply an individual with lively life breath; In the myth of the Ami people, Sun and Moon are a couple who often visit the God-man who was born from heaven as the ancestor of human beings.
Another Ami myth is that the moon taught the brothers and sisters who survived the flood how to get close to each other before they could give birth to normal children, because the brothers and sisters followed the advice of the sun and married, but gave birth to some strange creatures. The moon told them, "Because you are brother and sister, you should not get married, so you should dig a hole in the mat and put it between you, so that you can have good children." Later, the brother and sister couple really gave birth to four children, that is, the ancestors of mankind; Another story tells of a girl who is often abused by her stepmother. In order to prevent people from seeking justice for her, she would rather go to heaven. Five days later, people really saw the girl on the moon.
The myth of shooting at the sun of many ethnic groups regards the moon as the result of the sun being shot. For example, the story of the Atayal people tells that there were two suns in the sky in the past, and there was no distinction between day and night, so human life was extremely bitter. Therefore, three young people took their babies on a distant journey to shoot the sun, and once the babies on their backs were all adults, they reached the place where they shot the sun. One person shoots an arrow, hits the sun, and the sun bleeds, so it loses its light and heat and becomes the moon. The shadow is the trace of the arrow wound. The myth of Zou nationality is similar to this, and it goes further to say that the red stones seen on the ground are stained with blood from the sun. There are some changes in the stories of some ethnic groups. The content is that in the past, there was only the moon, but it didn't appear every day. In addition, there was a shadow on the moon. Every night, the earth was dark and vegetation could not grow, which made people feel extremely inconvenient. So they sent two young warriors to shoot at the moon. After decades, one of them shot at the moon with an arrow to remove the shadow, so the earth was normal.
The story of the Beinan people tells that once the earth was flooded, even the sun and the moon in the sky sank into the water, and the five surviving brothers and sisters floated on the sea, and finally found a land. Because the earth was dark, a man and a woman were sent to the sky as a new sun and a new moon in order to find other human beings. In the creation myth of the Beinan nationality, the moon and the sun brought children into the world. The first one was human, followed by monkeys, horses, deer, fish and birds. Later, the ancestors of the Beinan people spread that planting sweet potatoes should be based on the change of the moon. When the moon is full, you can't farm, and when the moon is gradually missing, you can only farm. If the moon is like a sickle, don't farm. Another Ami legend mentioned that the two brothers and sisters did not feel happy to dance because they had finished the mother's explanation to comfort their father in the spirit of heaven; Three people jump jump, gradually into the ground. They said in unison, "We have done everything we should. Tonight, the moon is my brother, tomorrow morning, the sun in the eastern sky is my brother, and the stars shining in the dark sky are my sisters. We will always benefit mankind. Goodbye, mother. These plots clearly show that these ethnic groups believe that the sun, the moon and the stars are made by people. The connection between the moon and the farming of the aborigines at the age of 18 can also be found in some stories, such as the story of the Benan nationality mentioned above; Because millet (millet), which used to be the staple food of the aborigines, was mostly harvested in autumn, and the moonlight on autumn night was particularly bright, the harvest ceremonies or songs and dances of various ethnic groups were mostly carried out in the bright moonlight. The sharing of new valley and new wine allowed members within the tribe to reunite their minds, get emotional relief, and look forward to the same abundant food and clothing in the coming year. Therefore, the perfection of the autumn moon also symbolizes the ardent hope of the people.
Proverb:
Looking forward to the moon at thirty nights-not expecting the moon at fifteen-full moon
Fishing for the moon on the shore-paying for it at one's own expense; In vain; In vain,
the dog bites the moon-I don't know how high the sky is
the moon in the water-empty and beautiful.
