each province in china has its own version of her story. she is connected to the mid-autumn festival, a harvest celebration that occurs in mid-september. when the archer yi shot down the nine suns, the sun god dijun banished him. dijun had expected yi merely to discipline, not to kill, his sons. in addition to the archer yi, dijun also banished yi s goddess wife, chang-o, to the earth below. the banishment suited yi because he was regarded as a hero on earth, but yi s wife was lonely for her sister goddesses and missed the luxuries of heaven. chang-o was also angry at her husband for jeopardizing her social status. therefore, although the archer and his wife loved each other deeply, they often quarreled. in order to keep their bodies in perfect condition, every three thousand years, gods
