In Chinese mythology, the goddess associated with the moon is Chang'e. She is revered for her ethereal beauty and is often depicted as a serene figure dwelling in the moon's light. Chang'e's story primarily revolves around themes of love and sacrifice, particularly her flight to the moon after consuming an immortality elixir meant for her husband, Hou Yi. This event serves as a reflection on longing and eternal separation, making her a key figure in Chinese cultural celebrations, especially the Mid-Autumn Festival, where mooncakes are shared in her honor.
