Teaching of Tradition: A Headache!

For the past few weeks, Mummy has been reading up on Mid-Autumn Festival Folklore. There were a dime a dozen websites about the myth of Chang Er and Hou Yi and the uprising against the Mongols in China, in the 14th century. The more I read, the more baffled and confused I became. There were so many versions of the Chang Er and Hou Yi myth!

Some stories said the duo were both immortals, some said one was and one was not while some said both were ordinary beings! A few versions narrated that the Jade Emperor praised Hou Yi for shooting down the 9 suns while conflicting stories wrote that the Jade Emperor wasn't the least pleased. Most of the folk tales didn't really put the couple in a good light. Chang Er seemed like a scheming woman who stole her husband's pill of immortality while Hou Yi seemed to be an unforgiving and selfish husband who wanted to shoot Chang Er down upon knowing that she had flown off to the moon with the pill!

I borrowed 1 English, 1 bi-lingual, 1 Chinese and 2 VCDs that are Mid-Autumn Fest related from NLB to read and play to Rynae but these weren't what I am looking for actually. They were either too wordy, too out-of-context or too boring.
Nonetheless, customs or myths may vary but sense of unity and harmony that this tradition brings will always be the same. After these days of 'research', I did learn more about the Mid-Autumn Festival, the second most important Chinese festival after CNY. Mummy simplified the story to Rynae as Chang Er and Hou Yi who were husband and wife, gets to meet on the moon every year during the mid-autumn festival....
