Chang Xi might be Chang'e's predecessor. Bi Yuan, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, proposed this possibility based on the research of phonology. According to some legends and the analysis of ancient Chinese characters, Chang'e and Chang Xi might have originally been the same name. The two characters, E and Xi, had the same shape and pronunciation in ancient Chinese characters. In the evolution of the myth, Chang Xi was the goddess who gave birth to the moon. The name "Chang'e" in the later myth of "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" was derived from the name "Chang Xi". The myth of Chang'e flying to the moon was formed in the late Warring States Period, and the birth and popularity of Huang Lao Dao in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty completed the process of becoming a fairy tale. Chang'e finally entered the Taoist fairy list and became the Taoist Moon God.
Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there lived a beautiful and kind fairy named Chang'e on the moon. One day, the fairy was attacked by the Sun God and was forced to leave the moon and return to the Heavenly Palace. However, she did not want to lose her friends and loved ones, so she decided to steal the treasures on the moon before she left. Thus, she embarked on a long journey of escape. In the end, she successfully stole the treasures on the moon and flew into the sky with them. The Sun God started a fierce battle to get back his good friend. In the end, Chang'e won, and the moon and the sky returned to their original positions. From then on, the moon became a mysterious place for humans and Chang'e became a beautiful figure in the legends.
Chang'e's Flight to the Moon was a widely circulated myth in China. Many artists had created portraits of the fairy in the scene of Chang'e's Flight to the Moon. For example, Tang Yin's painting of Chang'e in the Moon Palace in the Ming Dynasty, Chang'e Flying to the Moon, showed Chang'e's lonely expression. There was also the master of traditional Chinese painting, Ren Shuaiying's " Chang'e Flies to the Moon ", which also depicted the image of the fairy Chang'e. When he created it, he borrowed the style from the relevant paintings of the past dynasties and integrated it into the illusion in his mind. In addition, Hua Sanchuan, Pu Ru, Huang Linqing, Zheng Mukang, Wu Qingxia, Jin Xiezhong, Liu Chenghai, Lu Hongnian, Wang Fengnian, Huang Jun, Pan Zizi, Liu Lingcang, Zeng Houxi, Dong Tianhao, Cao Yiru, Chen Jiaxun, Liu Danzhai, Zhao Zhimin and other artists also had related figure paintings of Chang'e Running to the Moon to create the image of the fairy Chang'e. The novel " Watching the Moon on Fish Island " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
There was a certain connection between Chang'e and Chang'e. Some people believed that Chang'e and Chang'e were originally the same word. The two words 'E' and 'Xi' had the same sound and form in ancient Chinese characters, but there were differences in their later spread. However, there was no picture that directly indicated the relationship between the two. Sorry, I can't accurately answer the question about the picture of the relationship between the two.
Chang Xi, also known as Changyi, was the mother of the moon in China mythology. She came from the Classic of Mountains and Seas and was the wife of Emperor Jun together with Riyu (Xihe). She gave birth to twelve moons and became the person who made the calendar in ancient times. Bi Yuan, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, suggested that Chang Xi might be the predecessor of Chang'e according to the research of phonology. In ancient Chinese characters, Chang'e and Changxi were the same word. The two words, E and Xi, had the same pronunciation and form, but there were differences in their later spread. Chang Xi gave birth to the moon and was the Moon God. The legend of "running to the moon" that spread in later generations might have been derived from here. Later on, with the formation of Fangxian Dao in the late Warring States Period, the birth and popularity of Huang Lao Dao in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, and the continuous development of Taoism in the Wei, Jin, Tang, and Song Dynasties, Chang'e successfully entered the immortal list of Taoism and was revered as the Taoist Moon God.
Chang'e was no different from Chang'e. Chang'e's other names were Hu'e, Chang'e, Heng'e, Hu'e, and G'e.
In Journey to the West, Chang'e had two meanings. In terms of position, Chang'e was the name of a female deity in the Moon Palace, and many fairies in the Moon Palace held this position. From the perspective of specific characters, the original name of Chang'e in Journey to the West was only Su'e Fairy and Nishang Fairy. Fairy Su'e was originally a fairy of the Moon Palace. She had once slapped the Jade Rabbit and later descended to the mortal world to reincarnate into the Indian royal family as a princess. Jade Rabbit bore a grudge and left Guanghan Palace, leaving the reincarnated Fairy Su'e in Bujin Temple. Nishang Fairy was a fairy in the Moon Palace. Marshal Tianpeng (the predecessor of Zhu Bajie) had drunk and teased her. Marshal Tianpeng had even shouted loudly and provoked the picket officer. He had also knocked down the Bullfighting Palace and eaten the Lingzhi immortal herb. He was ordered by the Jade Emperor to be demoted to the mortal world after more than 2,000 strikes. Later, Nishang Fairy had subdued the Jade Rabbit with the Lunar Star Lord in India. Chang'e were the fairies who were good at singing and dancing in the Heavenly Court. They lived in the Vast Cold Palace, where they lived and danced. It was also a place for the immortals to enjoy themselves. The real masters of the Moon Palace were Taiyin and Jinxing. The status of the Chang'e Fairies was lower than that of immortals with real power like Ba Jie. Among them, Ba Jie teased Chang'e, who was called Fengliu Fairy. The palace maids were similar to beautiful maidservants, and their status was even lower. After the Jade Rabbit disguised herself as a princess and secretly met with Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong discovered it. The Chang'e Fairy (who had a relatively high status here) rushed over and brought the Jade Rabbit back together with the Taiyin Star Lord. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
