Is there really Chang 'e on the moon in Mid-Autumn Festival?

Chang 'e has different legends about festivals, but Chang 'e lives on the moon and exerts a subtle influence on many people. Legend has it that Chang 'e rose to the Moon Palace because she took the elixir of life and was unable to be with her family from then on. Later, people put a snack similar to the full moon in the yard on August 15 to express Chang 'e's thoughts about her family. Every year, it becomes the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to legend, after Chang 'e flew to the Moon Palace, she confided her regret to Iraq and said, "Tomorrow is the full moon. You make pills out of flour, round like a full moon, put them in the northwest of the house, and then keep calling my name. At midnight, I can go home. At that time, the fruit of Chang 'e will fly from the middle of the month and the husband and wife will reunite. The custom of making moon cakes for Chang 'e in the Mid-Autumn Festival is also formed. Since then, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai has spread among the people.
