傳說古時候，天空曾有10個太陽圍著地球旋轉(zhuǎn)。

According to Chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it.?

后羿射下了其中的9個太陽，拯救了地球上的生靈。

Hou Yi, shot down 9 of the suns to save all the lives on earth.?

他偷了長生不老藥，卻被妻子嫦娥偷偷喝下，從而產(chǎn)生了嫦娥奔月的故事。

He stole the elixir of life, which can make people immortal. However, his wife , Chang-E drank it. Thus the legend of Chang-E flying into the moon came into being.?

后羿日夜思念妻子，只好派人在后花園，擺上香案，放上嫦娥平時愛吃的蜜食鮮果，遙祭在月宮里眷戀著自己的嫦娥。

Thinking of his wife day and night, Hou Yi then had an incense table arranged in the back garden.?Putting on the table sweetmeats and fresh fruits Chang E enjoyed most, Hou Yi held at a distance a memorial ceremony for Chang E who was sentimentally attached to him in the place of the moon.

百姓們聞知嫦娥奔月成仙的消息后，紛紛在月下擺設(shè)香案，向善良的嫦娥祈求吉祥平安。

When people heard of the story that Chang E had turned into a celestial being, they arranged the incense table in the moonlight one after another and prayed kindhearted Chang E for good fortune and peace.

從那時起，敬拜月亮的風(fēng)俗就在民間流傳開來。

From then on the custom of worshiping the moon spread among the people.
