In ancient Chinese mythology, Chang'e is the moon goddess. As the story goes, she was a beautiful young woman who swallowed a potion of immortality to save it from falling into the wrong hands. She then ascended to the moon, where she lives to this day.
For thousands of years, people have celebrated her story during the Mid-Autumn Festival with mooncakes and lanterns. It's a time for family reunions and admiring the beauty of the full moon.
